This is how it works, The Gun Doctor, Inc. works as a shipping address for purchases. You purchase the firearm from an FFL DEALER. We will then send a copy of our FFL to that dealer; they can at that time ship us the firearm. Once the firearm is delivered we will contact you to let you know your firearm is in. You then fill out the required paperwork, this includeds the yellow federal form. The waiting period starts at the time you sign the federal form. 24 hours for long guns and 72 hours for handguns. We have to then call the state of Illinois to get an approval number for the transaction. Pending the approval number you can pick up your firearm after the waiting period.

We will not give out a copy of out FFL or our FFL number; the shipping dealer must have a current copy. We can fax or e-mail our current FFL. Also with every gun that comes in we need to have a copy of that dealers current FFL. If they do not have an FFL we will not do the transaction. When we send a copy of our FFL we will request that the shipping dealer faxes or e-mails us a current copy of their FFL in advance. If we don’t get a copy of their FFL in advance we will not accept the package.

We will not transact any illegal firearms, or any Law Enforcement Only to civilians. We will not waive any waiting period or bend any laws in any way what so ever!!!

All Law Enforcement Only transactions must be accompanied by department letterhead signed by current chief. We will verify this information.


The charge is $48.00 per FIREARM. IF YOU TRANSACT 4 FIREARMS AT ONE TIME THE CHARGE IS STILL $48.00 PER FIREARM.


All FFLs will be sent Fax, E-Mail or standard US mail unless otherwise specified. If you would like our FFL sent next day or priority there will be an extra charge. The charges are as follows.

1. Next Day or Express Mailing; the charge is $15.00 dollars; this is guarantees deliver by the US Postal Service. In some rare instances the can only guarantee 2nd day delivery, this is to remote places.

2. Priority Mail; the charge is $7.00, this is 2-3 day delivery, but it is not guaranteed by the US Postal Service, thus it is not guaranteed by us.


Here is how the shipping aspect of transfers works; once the dealer you are purchasing from receives my FFL they can ship the firearms. ALL HAND GUNS MUST BE SHIPPED NEXT DAY!!! Long guns can be shipped standard ground delivery. We will call you when the firearms come in. When we call you then you can come in at any time during our business hours to start the paperwork as listed above.


The Gun Doctor, Inc. Shipping address is:

T.G.D. Inc.
1050 West Lake St.
Roselle, IL 60172

ATTN: (Your name here)
This part is very helpful!!!


A last note as to FFL transfers; we try our best to process transfers as quickly as possible. Sometimes it may take us a day to process the transfer, this means if you e-mail us on Tuesday morning, we might not send it till Wednesday. ALSO: sometimes an FFL dealer has my FFL on file we don't have to send another one, but please notify us of any firearms they will be shipping. Send us an E-mail or a fax or just call us. Thank You. This is to ensure we can notify you as soon as the firearm is in the store. Sometimes there are instances that one doesn't want us to call if that is the case please let us know a better way to contact you, or request NO CALL, and we will wait to hear from you.
