I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread like this to help INGO members pick an FFL that doesn't screw it's customers. I've had two lowers transferred now:
Cabela's in Hammond charges $35, Blythe's in Griffith charges $50. I'll never go in Blythe's again. JMO of course.
I bought a blem stripped lower from Palmetto State for $69.95. I picked Blythe's because it's closer to my house. I figured they'd have to be $35 or less. I figured wrong. $50 to transfer a $70 item feels like getting screwdriver to me.I don't think the FFL is "screwing" it's customers, it's just how much they want to deal with a transfer, the customer has the choice to go elsewhere. I personally think $50 is excessive, but apparently Blythe's thinks it is "fair".

They accept a package from UPS, they hand me a form and make a phone call. At fifty bucks a pop I'd deal with that all day.
I agree, I would feel like I was raped, but you just learned an expensive lesson, call and ask before you have it sent to them.
$50 tells me they don't want to do it at all.I don't think the FFL is "screwing" it's customers, it's just how much they want to deal with a transfer, the customer has the choice to go elsewhere. I personally think $50 is excessive, but apparently Blythe's thinks it is "fair".
