Shipping Policy for SmartStuff2Buy

At SmartStuff2Buy, we strive to provide fast and reliable delivery options to ensure you receive your purchases as quickly as possible. Below, we outline our standard shipping and pickup procedures. Please note that processing times may vary slightly due to high demand, holidays, or unforeseen circumstances, but we always aim to meet or exceed these timelines. All shipments and sales comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws, including those governing ammunition, magazines, and other restricted items.

## Standard Shipping (Non-Ammunition Items)
– **Processing Time**: We typically process and ship orders within 48 hours of receiving payment confirmation (excluding weekends and holidays).
– **Shipping Methods**: We use the United States Postal Service (USPS) for all non-ammunition shipments. Shipping costs and estimated delivery times will be calculated at checkout based on your address.
– **Tracking**: Once your order ships, you’ll receive a tracking number via email to monitor its progress.
– **Domestic Shipping Only**: We ship only within the United States. We do not offer international shipping.

## Ammunition Shipping
Ammunition shipments are subject to strict federal, state, and local regulations under laws such as 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 (Gun Control Act) and 27 C.F.R. Part 478, as well as carrier-specific rules. We ensure all ammo sales and shipments comply with these requirements to promote safety and legality. We will comply with all applicable laws when selling ammunition, magazines, and other restricted items.
– **Eligibility and Restrictions**: Buyers must be at least 18 years old for rifle or shotgun ammunition and 21 years old for handgun ammunition. We do not ship ammunition to prohibited locations, including but not limited to Alaska, Hawaii, certain cities/states with restrictions (e.g., California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Washington D.C.), PO boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally. Age and identity verification may be required at checkout or delivery.
– **Shipping Methods**: Ammunition cannot be shipped via USPS. We use private carriers such as UPS or FedEx, which classify ammunition as hazardous materials (ORM-D or Limited Quantity for small arms cartridges). Shipments are limited to ground transportation within the 48 contiguous United States only—no air shipping. Ammo must be packaged in compliance with 49 C.F.R. § 173.59 and carrier guidelines, including sturdy outer packaging, inner containers to prevent movement, and appropriate labeling (e.g., diamond-shaped Limited Quantity labels on opposite sides). Packages will not be externally marked as containing ammunition.
– **Processing Time**: We aim to process and ship ammunition orders within 48 hours, but additional time may be needed for compliance checks, hazardous materials approval, or contractual arrangements with carriers.
– **Additional Requirements**: Adult signature is required upon delivery. Ammunition shipments are limited to calibers not exceeding 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) for rifle/pistol or 8 gauge for shotgun shells, as per carrier policies. We may require proof of age or additional documentation to ensure compliance.
– **State-Specific Notes**: Regulations vary by state; for example, some states require background checks or permits for ammo purchases. Customers are responsible for knowing and complying with their local laws. We reserve the right to cancel orders that violate any regulations.

## Local Pickup Option
If you select local pickup at checkout (available for eligible items and locations near Mayfield, Kentucky), we will coordinate a convenient meeting time directly with you. Local pickup may be available for ammunition, subject to verification of age and compliance with laws.
– **Scheduling**: We aim to arrange pickup at the first mutually available time, typically within 48 hours of order confirmation.
– **Location**: Pickups are usually at our designated location in Mayfield, Kentucky, or a nearby agreed-upon spot for your convenience.
– **Contact**: We’ll reach out via email or phone shortly after your order to confirm details. Please ensure your contact information is accurate.
– **Verification**: For in-person local pickups, we reserve the right to ask for identification to verify age, identity, or compliance with applicable laws.

## Pricing Information
– All prices displayed on our site already include applicable taxes. The amount you see at checkout is the final price you’ll pay, excluding any shipping fees (if applicable).

## Important Notes
– **Delays**: In rare cases, such as inventory issues, severe weather, or regulatory compliance for restricted items like ammunition, processing may take longer. We’ll notify you promptly if this occurs.
– **Returns and Cancellations**: For information on returns, please refer to our [Returns Policy](link-to-returns-policy). Orders can be canceled before processing—contact us immediately. Ammunition returns may be restricted due to safety regulations.
