Answers

01. How do I calculate shipping on an order?

You can calculate shipping on an order before checking out by following these easy steps:
1. Add items to your shopping cart.
2. Click the shopping cart icon on the top right of the page.
3. Below the list of items in your cart, enter the ZIP code that the order is shipping to and click ‘Submit.’ A drop down list of available shipping options and rates will be displayed.


02. How long will it take to get my order?

Due to the high volume of orders we have received, your order may take 3-5 days to ship from time of purchase, excluding firearms. Firearms may take up to 7 days to ship. Depending on your order, items may ship from multiple warehouses and boxes may arrive over a period of days to complete your order.

03. Is your price for a box of ammo or a case of ammo?

The ammo prices shown are “per box” unless otherwise indicated in the description. We indicate how many boxes you will need to order for those who prefer to order only case quantities. In most cases, there are no discounts for case quantities, so order just as much as you need. In some instances, we sell only in bricks or cases of ammo. These products will be clearly marked as being a larger quantity. Back to Top

04. If a product is out of stock, can I place a back order?

At this time we are not accepting back orders for out of stock items, but you can request to be emailed when the item comes back in stock by entering your email on the out-of-stock product’s page.

05. Do I need a special license to buy from Cheaper Than Dirt?

No. Most of our products are intended for adult use, and buyers must be at least 21. With some products, such as ammunition, a waiver and age statement will be required for first time purchasers.
For Illinois customers purchasing ammunition, a copy of your current Drivers License and Firearm Owner ’s Identification Card are required before we can ship the order.
For Connecticut customers purchasing ammunition, a copy of your current Drivers License or Connecticut Ammo Certificate, Pistol Permit, or Long Gun Certificate are required before we can ship the order.

06. What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa.

07. Can I save my credit card for future orders?

Yes. Simply check the “save this credit card” box during checkout, and the next time you order you will be able to select the saved card from a drop-down menu instead of typing in the information again.
When you save your credit card information to your Cheaper Than Dirt! account for future purchases and a quicker checkout, our site only stores the bank-level secure token provided from our payment processor. When you purchase an item, your purchase is sent securely with your token back to our processor to complete the transaction.
A token is a randomized series of digits created by the payment processor when credit card or similar form of payment is received. This token cannot be translated back into its original information by anyone except the payment processor. This is a more secure way to purchase online! To further secure payment information, each token created for this site is only associated with this site—a token cannot be used to make a purchase through another retailer.
