Written by the company

We make buying guns online easier. Buy a gun online without worrying about credit card fees, shipping charges, long delivery times, and whether or not we actually have the gun in stock. Seems like a no-brainer, but we have yet to meet another online gun retailer who can say the same thing. With roots that trace back to 1938, Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore is one of the longest-lasting gun dealers still active in the United States.

Super slow shipping

Super slow shipping. Website says 5-7 days for shipping, but what they don't tell you is that it's 5-7 business days for them to put a few items in a box, THEN they ship it, so you have another few days or a week to wait. All in all, i'm estimating 2 weeks from.placing order to receiving. Plus side is that the prices are pretty good. Next time I'll pay a little more and buy from someone with modern shipping facilities. Update-received notice on 1/12/26 around 8:30am that my items had shipped...however USPS shows that a label was created. I'm thinking, "Finally!" No further movement that day. On 1/13, around 8:30pm, I receive notice that USPS finally has my package. So it took the better part of two weeks for them to put 4 of the same item in a box and create a label, then 36 hours to make it from the label sticker-onner guy to the hands of USPS. I could have driven to OH from WY and back multiple times in 2 weeks, and these people can't ship out a box of gun cleaner. During that time i sent 3 emails with no response, and made one phone call which was pointless.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the shipping timeline did not meet your expectations. Our stated 5–7 business days reflects processing time from when an order is placed; however, the holiday season did impact our normal processing and shipping timelines. We understand how frustrating longer-than-expected delivery can be. We truly appreciate your comment about our pricing and will be sharing your feedback with our team as we continue working to improve our fulfillment process and communication. Thank you again for your honest review.

Beware

First time ordering from this company. Ordered "in stock, ready to ship" item. 7 days later has not shipped and after several attempts to message them, no response. Finally messaged me after I cancelled order. Would not do business with them.

Sportsman outdoors dont stand behind the products they sell

I purchased 23 boxes of Rio 12 gauge buckshot rounds , the first time shooting Rio ammo every round jammed, I tried to return 21 boxes of sealed rounds for a refund but sportsman outdoors refused to refund or even swapping for another brand, I dont recommend buying large ammounts of ammo from this company since they dont stand behind the products they sell , do not buy Rio shotgun rounds or bulk ammo from sportsman outdoors at all. Be smart people.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear about the issues you encountered with the Rio ammunition and understand how frustrating that must have been. For safety and regulatory reasons, we’re unable to accept returns or exchanges on ammunition once it has left our facility, including sealed boxes. Performance issues with ammunition are best addressed directly with the manufacturer, who can investigate potential defects and offer further assistance.

I like the prices but just got my latest order, 15 days after ordering. Now I remember why I don't use them. Painful to wait, not receiving any updates and difficult to contact via the web

Hi Michael,

You also left us a review on Yelp. We are trying to get more information from you regarding your order and to see what went wrong.

If you could, please reach out to us via email at info@sossdirect.com, or respond to our Yelp message we sent you yesterday.

We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your recent order. We apologize for the delay in shipping. Orders placed during Black Friday and Cyber Monday experienced higher-than-usual volume, which unfortunately caused some delays. We do see that your new order has shipped today. Thank you for your patience and continued support—we truly appreciate it.

Does not stand by their own policy

I ordered a gun on May 21,2025 for $490.22. The gun went on sale a couple of days later for $439.99. The company website states that they price match. I emailed customer service on May 26, 2025 with a copy of my receipt, the screenshot of my order details (the gun was not listed as a market place deal), and a screenshot of the listed sale price. I kindly asked for a price match, per their own policy.
I never received an email back. Zero response. I emailed both email addresses that they have listed for orders and customer service. I then reached out via online chat. The customer service representative, via the online chat, spoke to their supervisor and now are claiming that the original order was a market place deal. I believe that this company does not stand by their own policy. I reached out within the 5 day time frame for a price match.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the frustration this situation has caused and for the delay in communication from our customer service team.

We understand your concern regarding our price match policy and appreciate that you reached out within the stated timeframe with the appropriate documentation. Our intention is always to honor our policies transparently and consistently. Upon further review, the order in question was identified as a marketplace deal, which is excluded from price matching under our policy. This exclusion is outlined in our Frequently Asked Questions under Returns and Refunds, item #5: “Do you price match if an item goes on sale after my purchase?” *Items listed on our sale page(s), and items that are listed or were purchased as a Marketplace Deal are exempt from any price matching for previous purchases. Prices during our Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale are also exempt from price matching. Prices are subject to market conditions.

We regret any confusion this may have caused and appreciate your feedback, which helps us improve clarity and communication moving forward.

Great quality and wonderful price.

I had been looking at the AR 12 shotguns and I went back just for the fun of it and they were on sale so I had to get one. I love my new gun and you can't beat the price or service you get with this sight wasn't my first order and want be my last. Thank you for the fast shipping and great quality product.
