    FFL TO FFL transfer fees?

    I had a little sticker shock from buying a $70 lower and then paying $125 total for DROS, Transfer, etc. It was a lumped sum amount with no breakdown. I made the mistake of selecting an approved FFL from PSA's drop list without asking if I could use my preferred FFL. Are these fees in line with other LGS's? I would have bought 2 or 3 lowers to dollar cost average. HAHA!

    Shop around for FFL fees BEFORE you pick the FFL...

    Some places are much cheaper than what you quoted.

      Under CA laws/regulations...

      For a PPT, a CA FFL dealer is limited to charging a maximum of $10 for their transfer fee.

      For a non-PPT, a CA FFL dealer is not limited in what they can legally charge to facilitate the transfer.



      From personal experience...

      I typically paid DROS fee + $60 for an out-of-state transfer.

      I've been quoted DROS fee + between $60 to $250 for an out-of-state transfer.

      Shop around before ordering online and don't forget to factor in CA sales/use tax.

        Lesson learned for sure. I have done PPT's but this was my first out of state purchase.

                    I was talking about coffee not op. I am sure there are cheaper ffls down there as well. There are several up here.

                        OK We should probably have a sticky with list of lowest priced ffls for transfers and locations. plus list of those that overcharge for dros.
