Armorer Services Policies
- Services can be provided same day while you wait when possible. However, due to workload and other factors, we may not be able to complete the requested service same day. We will provide a good faith estimate for the time required to complete the service, but times are not guaranteed. The TruPrep Armorer is typically available every day except Monday and Tuesday.
- Prices are for service labor only and do not include the cost of parts. Parts will be provided by the customer upfront. If parts are purchased from TruPrep, they must be paid for in advance. Payment for services and any additional required parts to complete the service are due at time of pickup.
- Firearms will be held for 30 days after you have been notified that they are available for pickup. Please ensure your provided contact information is correct. On the 31st day after initial notification, the firearm will be assumed to be placed on consignment for sale to the public. Labor service fees will be deducted from the consconsignment sales price, and the remaining balance will be split according to our normal consignment policy of 80% to the customer and 20% to TruPrep. Any consignment monies not collected by the customer after one year will be forfeited.
- Firearms may be picked up by the person who dropped them off without completing a 4473 transfer form or undergoing a background check. Pickup by any other person requires completion of a 4473 transfer form and a background check.
- Custom quotes are available for services not specifically mentioned.
