Re: Targetmaster let me down
The first gun I ever bought was on-line. I had it delivered to Targetmaster and they charged me $50 for the transfer. Even then I knew that was excessive.
I should have researched it first so my fault. I don’t badmouth them but do tell the story to others as a warning. I do occasionally stop in to look at guns.
But the big thing is I have only spent money for small purchases at the store twice in all the years since then. It left a really bad taste in my mouth and has literally cost them thousands of dollars of my money and has probably saved me a lot of money in the long run.
On the positive side...... when I got the first gun a conversation I had with the employee led to me joining my gun club which I love to this day so there was that.
Edit to add:
Btw.... there are plenty of out of the basement businesses with better prices. I have always had good experiences with the Thin Blue Line in Broomall near the Home Depot. $30 for a transfer.

There's a scum bag dealer in Pittsburgh who did the same thing to me many years ago and I've never been back. Way too many good shops and kitchen table FFLs out there to get screwed like that. If I lived by Targetmaster, I'd flip 'em off every time I drove past on the way to a better dealer.

Re: Targetmaster let me down
In that area go a little out of your way to Tanner's first off the pricing is good it's not always the best but it's well within reason and for me I'm willing to spend a little more ( not an arm and a leg more) to support a local shop ....within reason. Also they are good people who take care of their customers. It may seem like a bit of a drive from the Chaddsford area but figure I drive from Lancaster county to buy stuff from them. Most likely they can get you in the neighborhood of what you want to pay for a firearm you can get online.

Re: Targetmaster let me down
You guys are aware there are sites that let you quickly research ffl fees in your area, right?
https://www.gunbroker.com/ffl/index
I've never heard of the store in this thread, but $50 is a ripoff and $80 is insane. I'd never return.
The guy I use charges $20 for the first transfer and $10 per additional transfer on the same visit. He operates out of his basement by appointment only, which makes it very quick to do your transfer since you're not waiting for a clerk. I found him on the site above and use him exclusively for transfers.

Re: Targetmaster let me down
....as outrageous as fifty bucks sounds quite a few shops in Philly charge around that price and no way will I go for that.Thankfully I have a go to place for online pucrchases/transfers that charges a decent fee and is not too far from me.
