You also agree to release, hold harmless, indemnify, and pay to defend Wideners.com and its owners, agents, officers, and employees against any resulting civil liability or criminal prosecution if any of the above is determined to be not true. DON’T LIE - you will be responsible for the consequences.
You also understand and acknowledge that you alone are responsible for how the product you purchase is used. You agree to release, hold harmless, indemnify, and pay to defend Wideners.com and its owners, agents, officers, and employees against any damages and/or civil liability or criminal prosecution arising from or related to the products you purchase.
Method of Payment: We only accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. There is no charge added for credit card orders. If you are making payment with a debit card, please understand Wideners.com will take no responsibility for any overdraft charges associated with this purchase; this includes any charges associated with processing errors. You must provide the billing address for the credit card you intend to use. If the billing address does not match the card used, our address verification system will decline the transaction.
We no longer accept mail orders. We also no longer accept money orders or personal checks. Please do not send an order by mail, and do not send money orders or checks. If you do, it will be refused and returned to you, automatically.
Prices and Warranty: We try to keep our prices as low as possible, however, PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. Current market conditions are tight and commodity prices have increased tremendously forcing manufacturers to increase prices. We will pass these on as they occur. Some surplus ammunition is in short supply due to military order and usage which is at a very high level right now. Also, we reserve the right to LIMIT QUANTITIES on certain items in order for try to help ALL our customers. Wideners.com disclaims all liability for errors in pricing contained in e-mails and advertisements.
Wideners.com extends no warranty and is not liable for any claims or damages, or for the breach of any warranty, express or implied, whether of merchantability or fitness for any purpose or otherwise. Most new products are fully warranted by the manufacturer and product returns should be arranged with these manufacturers.
Shipping: All ammunition orders will be shipped UPS Ground or FedEx Ground (no PO Box addresses). We let you choose and pay for the method of shipment at checkout.
You accept title to your product when it is delivered, so we cannot be held responsible if it is stolen or damaged after that. To be clear, once your product is delivered to the address you have provided, you assume all responsibility for its safety and you release Wideners.com from all liability and responsibility.
C.O.D. Orders: We just quit taking them. The regulations are so strict. You can't give them cash anymore. So, we quit sending C.O.D.
New York: New York law requires ammo purchasers to undergo a background check before taking possession of any ammo. To facilitate this, the law requires that our ammo orders be shipped to a state-approved dealer who will conduct a background check before transferring the ammo to you. It’s your responsibility to ensure you can pass the background check before placing your order. If you don’t pass, we will have the dealer send the ammo back to us, in which case we will charge you the cost of shipping both ways, plus a restocking fee of $40 or 10% of your order (whichever is greater). After the dealer transfers the ammo to you (based on the date and time reflected in the dealer’s records), title to the ammo will vest in you and you will bear the risk of loss and all liability associated with the ammo’s storage and use.
Local and Pick Up Orders: We no longer offer walk in sales or local pick ups.
Tax Notice: Some states require us to collect sales tax on your order. To learn more about your potential sales tax charge, use the estimator tool that appears in your cart. If for any reason you have questions about this sales tax charge, you can always reach out to us.
Restricted Shipments: Some states do not allow mail order shipments of certain items. For example, we can not ship certain magazines to some locations. If it is illegal for you to order certain items in your area, do not order these items. Also, we cannot ship to Alaska, Hawaii, California, or Massachusetts at this time, nor can we ship outside of the continental United States. We can ship to Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, and Rhode Island upon receipt and validation of the required documentation. If you have questions, please call us first before ordering.
Report Criminal Activity: We believe in following the law. If you suspect any illegal activity involving any of our products or customers, we encourage you to call the ATF at 1-800-ATF-GUNS.

We will charge a 25% restocking fee if your order return is not due to damage or not working for the advertised purpose. Damaged packages should be reported to the carrier who is responsible for the damage. Freight for the returned goods must be paid for by the buyer.
