Where does Capitol Armory ship to?
Capitol Armory ships to consumers and dealers within the United States. Many products on CapitolArmory.com are regulated by federal, state, and local governments, and not all products are available or legal in all locales. The purchaser is responsible for ensuring each item is legal in their state and local vicinity. Capitol Armory will not ship or transfer to states where items are known to be prohibited.
What shipping carrier does Capitol Armory use?
UPS is our carrier of choice for firearm-related packages. We utilize USPS for select products. If you select USPS, expect potential delays up to 3 weeks with limited tracking. Choose UPS if you want accurate tracking or quicker transit. USPS is affordable and delivers 99.9% of packages, but timing may vary.
How do I track my package?
When your product ships, we will email a tracking number. You can also log in to your account to view it. USPS may provide limited tracking.
What if my package is lost during shipping?
We will ensure you receive your purchase. If the carrier’s estimated window is exceeded, we will send a replacement. USPS often mis-tracks. If accurate tracking matters, select UPS.
Can you ship a suppressor to my residence?
Yes, in the 42 states where suppressors are legal we ship directly to your residence via UPS Ground with adult signature. Typical delivery is 10 to 14 days, subject to carrier delays, severe weather, and holidays.
Can I upgrade or expedite my shipment?
Yes. We offer UPS Two-Day Air and Overnight. Orders placed before 1:00 PM CT on business days ship the same day. Once UPS has the package, weather and carrier issues can affect delivery. UPS does not refund late deliveries.
