Buds gun shop has a price match option where you provide an alternative price from other firearm trading websites and they try to get you an equivalent quote. Not all of their firearms can benefit from the price as only those marked with the blue price match label.
Requirements to acquire a firearm
Once you buy your firearm a background check will be conducted with the details being forwarded to the FBI, you’ll provide the information by filling out a form that the dealer will use. While on call the dealer will be answered whether you’re approved, it might take some time to be processed or rejected.
When purchasing or collecting a firearm you can only use your personal information as only the intended recipient can pick up the firearm. Having the information not match up would cause the order to get delayed or canceled with fees. This also means if you’re buying a firearm for someone, you need to either get it for them or get them a gift card and send it to them. They will get the gift card either by mail or email after you send it. Then they will apply the gift card code to their accounts and then make the purchase. Either of the two works well when you intend to gift a firearm to a friend or relative.
How to price match works
First, you need to identify firearms with the price match label. You are then supposed to submit your price match request after which they will inform you immediately if they can. If they can match your price they will let you proceed to checkout with the specific quote. If they can’t make your price they will give you their possible price which you can purchase it at. The price match request will rarely match up with other retailers as they offer free shipping for the firearm and accessories totaling 199$ or higher. This in a way encourages you to purchase your firearm with its accessories and to try and get your accessories in bulk. Apart from factoring in the shipping cost, their price greatly varies based on their current stock. If the stock is scarce the price goes up and if the stock is in bulk the price goes down.
The price changes go in tandem with their costs including the manufacturer & distributors’ prices put together with the replacement costs. The guns are varied bases on these changes and will shift accordingly. This is to maintain their profit margins and keep providing quality services. The change happens every 20 minutes based on calculations done by their system. These prices will also be updated on their websites regularly to match the prices on the ground.
The procedure to access the price match is simple;
On the buds gun shop website goes to ‘special deals’ and then price match request where all firearms valid for the offer will be displayed. Then click the price match button on the firearm you want to purchase. They will prompt you to log in to your account after which you will give the quote for the lower gun price you saw. The request will be processed and they will answer based on whether they can match it or if they can just lower the price. Purchase the firearm and accessories at that price or switch to other alternatives if you feel it’s not to your liking. Reach out to customer support in case the price is on your intended weapon isn’t to your liking. Once you call them they will tell you if it’s possible to match your price.
