Question: I want to purchase an item on your website, how does it work and what are my first steps?

Answer:  You will simply select the item you wish to purchase by placing it in the shopping cart.  Then you will need to create an account using your basic information.  You will then proceed to our secure and encrypted checkout page.  You may use any major credit card.  This is also the page to apply gift certificates.  Once the payment is processed an email notification will be sent to the Web team and the purchaser.  We will then remove the item you chose from available inventory and await pickup, or prepare it for shipment.

Question: An item I was looking at on a previous visit seems to be missing from the website.  Why can't I find it?

Answer: Our site is unique in that it only displays items that are available for purchase.  Since our system is connected to our stores and warehouse it will constantly update inventory levels in real time.  If the item you were watching is now gone it has likely been sold.

Question: Your site has so many items, how do I find something I am specifically looking for? 

Answer: If you happen to know the manufacturer's part number or unique 11 digit UPC code you can place it in the search box at the top right corner of the home page.  If the item is available it will take you to it.  You can also use the search criteria located located under any of the nine major product banners.  Choose the category that most likely fits your search criteria and then narrow it down using the options located in the left hand column. To perform multiple search inquires you must reset the criteria by clicking on the (Garys Gun Shop) icon located at the top left of any page.
