What GunBroker Buyers Say
GunBroker feedback is the most credible review system in online firearms retail. Every piece of feedback represents a completed, paid transaction — no anonymous posts, no unverified accounts. Our GunBroker seller profile shows:

To put 33,000 in perspective: that is more verified buyer feedback than most FFL dealers will ever accumulate. It does not happen by accident.
What Reddit Users Say About TheGunDock
Reddit is where gun buyers do honest research. The consensus on TheGunDock across subreddits like r/guns, r/gundeals, and r/Firearms is consistently positive, with the most common praise being:
- Competitive pricing on firearms relative to other online dealers
- Fast processing and shipping
- Responsive communication when issues come up
Are there negative posts? Yes — with thousands of orders, some go sideways. Carrier delays, FFL coordination hiccups, backordered items. What matters is how they are handled. Our track record shows we resolve issues rather than ignore them.
What About Negative Reviews?
We would rather be honest than pretend every order is perfect. Here are the most common complaints and the context behind them:
“Shipping took longer than expected”
Most firearms ship within 1–3 business days from us. After that, transit time depends on UPS or FedEx and your location. We provide tracking so you can follow the shipment. Delays beyond our shipping date are usually carrier-related, not us.
“The FFL transfer fee was a surprise”
We ship to your FFL dealer. The transfer fee ($15–$50 typically) is charged by your local FFL, not us. This is standard across the entire online firearms industry and is disclosed in our checkout process.
“I had trouble reaching customer service”
We are a small team. If you call during peak hours and get voicemail, email support@thegundock.com — we respond within hours during business days.
