Q1: My order status says “New”; what does that mean?
A: Some orders that we receive must first be double-checked to ensure that it was placed correctly. We check the location for ammo orders, and FFLs for firearm orders, and to make sure that restricted items (i.e. high-capacity magazines) are not being shipped into states that forbid them. Most times, when an order moves out of this status, it is getting ready to ship.
Q2: What are your retail hours?
A: Our showroom is open Tuesday to Friday 10 am-6 pm and Saturday 10 am-4 pm.
Q3: Why must you be at least 21 years old to purchase even rifle ammunition from you?
A: It is polymer80framekits.com policy that you must be at least 21 to receive any ammunition from us. We have had problems in the past with what is considered long gun ammo and what is considered handgun ammo in some states, so as of now we only ship ammunition to those above 21.
Q4: Do you offer any quantity or volume discounts?
A: Yes. Quantity/volume discounts are unique to each item and are posted online if available. Sometimes, unpublished discounts may apply when making a large enough purchase. Please email us at sales@polymer80framekits.com for more details.
Q5: What does “Hand Pick” mean?
A: We may offer a $10 handpick option on many of our firearms. If you choose this option, our shipping staff will take the time to examine 5 of the same item ordered and then choose the cosmetically best one of the 5. This does not mean you will get a completely better condition. For example: handpicking a very-good Swiss K31 will not necessarily give you an Excellent condition Swiss K31. We can handpick certain manufacturers, dates, and other details subject to availability. Such requests must be made over the phone and may not be available in some circumstances.
Q6: Do you have any dealers in my area on file already?
A: Polymer80framekits has created a simple way to locate a dealer in your area who is willing to process a firearm(s) transfer via the Polymer80framekits Dealer Network. Each of the FFL dealers in the network has already agreed to transfer firearms to you, the consumer, for a specified fee(s). Simply locate a dealer in your area, carefully review the dealer’s terms and fees and then complete your order. The will be a shipment of the firearm(s) to the business address of the dealer with your name and contact number on it.
Q7: What is a C&R/Curio & Relic/03 license?
A: A type 03 Curio and Relic (C&R) license is a type of Federal Firearms License (FFL) issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). C&R holders may receive certain eligible firearms directly to their door but do NOT permit the holder to deal with firearms or act as a transfer agent.
Orders can be picked up Tuesday through Thursday from 9 am – 5 pm and Fridays from 9 am – 7 pm in our showroom. We offer appointments for Firearms Tuesdays – Thursdays to help speed up the background check process. You can still purchase firearms without an appointment but the process may take longer. For firearms, you must bring your driver’s license with you and it must contain your current address.
You must be a resident of Ohio and at least 21 years of age to pick up Handguns, Frames/Receivers, and Pistol Grip Only Shotguns.
You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase Long Guns (Rifles and shotguns).
Q8: What forms of payment do you accept?
A: We accept American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, cashier’s check, Bitcoin, Paypal, Cashapp, Zelle, or money orders. Your credit card will be authorized immediately upon order placement.
- Please Note: If using a prepaid card (e.g. Visa or Mastercard Gift card), most likely you must register the card for online purchases. Contact the card issuer for instructions on how to do so.
- We can only hold a credit card order for 7 days. After 7 days, we must process the order, or it will be canceled. You may reorder at your convenience.
Q9: I tried to order, but my credit card was declined. What do I do?
A: If you contact your card issuer, they can tell you why the card was declined. Often it is because the billing address or card number/expiration/CVV was entered incorrectly. The card issuer can also stop the transaction if they suspect it was fraudulent. Your card issuer can assist you with any problems you may encounter.
Your credit card will be authorized immediately upon order placement, but if the card is declined, the authorization will be voided. You must contact your card issuer to resolve the problem.
Q10: How can I figure out the shipping costs before placing my order?
A: The best way to calculate shipping costs is to build an order in your shopping cart and start the checkout process. You will be able to see shipping costs before you have to provide payment information.

A: Currently we must collect sales tax for the following states: AL, AR, AZ, CO, CT, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MS, NC, NE, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY.
Q12: How will I know when my order has shipped? Will I get a tracking number?
A: If your email address is on file, you should get a shipping notice and tracking number emailed to you automatically once your order has shipped. If your order is going to a dealer you and the dealer will receive an email with the shipping notice and tracking number.
Q13: How do I know if I am complying with my local and state laws?
A: It is up to EACH INDIVIDUAL to ensure that your purchase will not violate your local or state laws. For best results, consult any applicable local/state ordinances, your state Attorney General’s office, or a qualified attorney.

Q14: Can you ship outside of the U.S.?
A: The exportation of firearms, ammunition, and firearm accessories over the years has been heavily regulated in the U.S., and despite all this, we do our best to be at the top, so we can ship any of our products outside the U.S. We can ship to a freight forwarder who then ships outside the U.S. either.
Q15: How can I cancel my order?
A: Polymer80framekits does not guarantee any order can be canceled after it is placed. If a mistake in ordering does happen, contact us as soon as possible. No cancelation of order after being sent to our warehouse for shipping. If you cannot cancel the order, you must follow all the procedures for returns (see below).
