Silencer Shop transfer fees

[Ac338]

So I ordered a surpressor through silencer shop a couple days ago and went to my local powered by dealer today where the surpressor is being sent to. He charged me $25 to use the kiosk for fingerprinting and said when I pick it up I’ll have to pay a $75 transfer fee. I was under the impression that there weren’t any fees through silencer shop, has anyone else had this issue?

Yup. Had same issue. Was frustrating to say the least because the whole reason I went that route was because it was $50 cheaper than another dealer. Ended up being more. Made a stink about it at the local dealer and was given the shrugged shoulder look…..like too late now sucker you already transferred the can.

Sounds like your dealer is playing games. I bought a can from SS last year, had it transferred thru a local powered by dealer, they didn't charge anything. Last winter, I bought a can from the same dealer, paid them, did all the paperwork thru SS, and they haven't charged anything.

The only time you should be paying additional fees at a Silencer Shop dealer is if you bought the can from another source and then moved it through Silencer Shop and the dealer. When I did that for a hard to find can they tacked on $75 I think. Otherwise, the price you see at Silencer shop should be the price you pay.

I don’t think that’s what I did, this is my first surpressor purchase though. I ordered the Hyperion K straight from silencer shops site and picked the Lgs from the powered by list on silencer shops website.

I would contact silencer shop and see what they say.

My dealer is charging me $30/can for transfer and that's it. Sounds like yours a greedy sumbitch

A couple years ago I had an issue with returning a can while the paperwork was in process. I had a Nomad on order with paperwork I believe already pending with ATF then a couple weeks later the Nomad Ti was released, I wanted the Ti in it's place. SS basically said the dealer takes a cut, that if the dealer was willing to waive the fees, it would be fine. So I talked to the dealer about it. Regardless, to me it sounds like the profit a local dealer gets from a SS can is built in to the price SS charges. Again, maybe 2 years ago and I'm not on the inside of the business, it was just what I gathered.

The shop I'm using doesn't charge any fees. He asked me to go through his website to be redirected to silencer shop to make sure he gets his cut from silencer shop.

Yeah shouldn’t be any additional fees in my experience. I’d call silencer shop and see what they say just to confirm

 

[Axlrod]

Mine charges $125/transfer. These were ordered online and shipped to him. Another store here has looked into getting a Kiosk, and they are $15,000. So I can understand the fees.

Shoot silencer shop an email about your dealer charging additional fees. If you buy through the silencer shop website the fees are built in and the dealer with a kiosk gets their cut.

If you ordered from somewhere else and your dealer is transferring through silencer shop then expect a fee, my dealer charges $90.

I don’t have a kiosk anywhere near me. I ordered over the phone, did all the stuff on their app and they shipped to a local FFL for me to finish up there. They didn’t charge me anything. I make sure to go buy ammo from them from time to time.

I also had to pay to use the kiosk and a transfer fee. They said I would not of been charged these fees if I would of purchased through silencer shop. But since I ordered direct from the supressor manufacturer the fees applied...

 

[SloppyJ]

I paid $25 to use the kiosk and a $50 transfer fee for each can. I DID NOT buy through SS but got it form 3'd to my dealer and then used SS for all of the paperwork. If you bought through SS, you shouldn't have any additional fees. The $25 I could see them asking for which I think is BS but in no way should you pay a transfer fee. That's the whole point of using the SS dealer. I'd call SS and ask why the dealer is trying to charge you for both fees.

I’ve never paid for anything transferred from silencershop to a powered by dealer but I have had to pay 150 for a NFA transfer before

I just went through this process at my local “Silencer Shop” dealer. No fees at all other the the cost of the can and tax stamp.

Im a newly signed up powered by SS dealer. I dont think we're supposed to charge any additional fees directly to the customer if you bought the can from SS directly, we get a commission for facilitating the transfer from SS. I wouldn't charge any fees unless a customer wanted to use SS for the form4 process with a can they bought elsewhere and transferred it to me.. thats how i understand it at least

This is my understanding as well. My dealer doesn't charge anything when it is bought from SS, but charges $50 for the transfer/paperwork if I buy somewhere else and want to do the form/trust via SS,

On a side note, how was the process of getting setup as a dealer? I have a friend that has a SOT/FFL, and is thinking about doing SS as well.

It wasnt terrible but definitely the most involved so far compared to standard distributors and manufacturers. They give you a virtual class that 1-3 hours i think? Can't remember honestly lol sorry. Gotta do it before your account goes live if you wanna do more than just buy cans from them, like be a powered by dealer. Wasnt too bad though. Comparing prices sometimes I get a much better deal direct from manufacturers i have accounts with, which isnt surprising honestly but tell your buddy to watch out for that
