Amazon won't ship holsters???
« on: February 01, 2025, 11:53:09 PM »
So, I just ordered some stuff off Amazon.
I was trying to buy a holster, but Amazon won't ship them?

I tried several vendors, and the same message telling me they can't ship to my address popped up.

i could buy all the non-gun-related stuff in my cart.

Is that new?

Yeah. That’s weird only pistol holsters. I looked at slings, bipods and other accessories even pistol sights. Doesn’t make sense to me
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.”

If you are not willing to die for freedom then take the word out of your vocabulary.

Amazons logo is not a smile, but a p***s, so we always get the shaft.

I ran into the same issue with algae killer for my pond a few years ago. I found some other vendors from another state and they have no problem shipping it. I also found one in Washington that has no problem shipping it. Amazon just makes blanket rules for items and often it applies to items that are not actually regulated but the computer algorithm doesn’t know the difference.

Was it actually Amazon stocked or was it a vendor?.. there are a few firearms related companies that has decide to completely stop selling to Washington rather than try to decipher the laws.

I just tried to order a holster and had no issues,  but I don’t actually want to order a holster so I stopped at the payment method screen.

Typically they will have red writing stating they cannot ship it to your address while you are viewing an item.  Must be something different about the holster you were viewing than the one the op was trying to buy.

That’s what I thought too. I don’t see that warning on any of them.
Maybe Bezos just doesn’t like Dan.
I did actually buy a couple holsters from Amazon a couple months ago without issue.

Did you try different vendors on their own web site?  I was able to order a pistol from palmetto just a few days ago, shipped to an FFL

I tried ordering things...holster, magazine (6rd) and the little plastic clip for grip on the magazine.  All wouldn't ship, even individually and separate vendor combinations.

Went in an actually bought two holsters- no problems said would receive the 5th.  Went back in and canceled as I was only curious.  Maybe just certain zip codes?

Amazon wont ship Apivar to Washington, even though Mann lake and Dadant both gladly ship it, and they are the vendors on Amazon.
I just order from the source.

Apivar is a bee treatment for mites.

Ive never been able to understand Amazon’s rules.
