Purchasing firearms and ammunition online can be done in a few simple steps by using an FFL
Dealer or California Ammo Vendor.
The below steps outline both processes.
- Contact dealer and have them send their FFL to ffl@hdtac.com
- Create an account or log in.
- Add product(s) to cart.
- Enter your FFL Dealer as the shipping address.
- Enter billing and credit card information.
- Review and submit order.
- Complete transfer at your dealer.
Watch the tracking information that we provide you. Once the order has arrived at
the FFL dealer of your choosing, call your FFL for a good pickup time.
In order for the transfer to be approved, your FFL Dealer is required to have you fill
out all required California paperwork and screening.
California Ammo Vendor’s License
- Process for certificate of eligibility
- If a customer places an order for ammunition in California and they are a COE
holder, the COE must be submitted with a valid driver’s license. - If a customer places an order for ammunition to California but they are not a COE
holder, the customer must select an FFL or a COE holder. - If the customer chooses a COE holder, the ammo vendor must submit the COE
license and a valid driver’s license.
The order will only be shipped to the address on the driver’s license to make sure
the ammunition goes to the COE holder, not the customer.
If the customer chooses an FFL, only the FFL license need be submitted. The
ammunition will only be shipped to the address on the FFL license. The FFL
license will be validated through FFL EZ Check each time it is used.
If a customer places an order, but the COE holder chooses not to submit a valid
driver’s license, the customer will be notified to choose someone else.
If the customer does not choose another license holder, the order will be canceled
and the money refunded.
If a customer places an order in a restricted city or county in California, the
ammunition will not be shipped at all.
The order will be canceled and the money refunded.
Shipping
Your order will be processed upon receiving your dealers FFL.
From that point expect 3-7 business days for tracking number.
