Frequently Asked Questions

When will my order ship and how long will it take to arrive?

We process most orders within 1 business day (M-F). Orders placed on Friday after 8am Pacific Time will most likely ship Monday. Most domestic (U.S.) orders will arrive 2-5 BUSINESS days after they have shipped (Friday orders may ship the following Monday, so expect delivery between Wednesday and Saturday). Please keep in mind external factors that can affect your delivery time, such as weather and holidays. A shipment notification email is sent once your order has shipped. That email will contain your tracking number. If you do not get a shipment notification email within 2 business (Friday orders may not get a shipping notification until 2PM PST the following Monday) days of your order please contact us at: support@strategicdefenseandprotection.com support@strategicdefenseandprotection.com

We do not ship on Saturday. Our shipping crew works very hard Monday through Friday and they get to rest and spend time with family on the weekends. We love getting you your items quickly, but we also value our ability to provide our crew with a traditional weekend. We appreciate your understanding.

We do not offer international shipping at this time.

Can I pick up my order at your facility?

Our location is a shipping warehouse only. It is not a store and is not open to the public. Employees are not allowed to give items or accept returned items from anyone walking in.

Is there a Quantity Limit?

Most products have no quantity limit. However, promotional items that are made available for shipping and handling only have a strict quantity limitation of 1 free item per Hotlist member or household.

How do Upgrade Offers work?

Upgrade offers are in addition to the original order. If you accept an upgrade offer, it adds to the cost of the original order.

Where is my Bonus Instructional Video?

Depending on the product you purchased, the instructional video may be an actual DVD disc that arrives with your order, or it may be a “digitally delivered” video in the form of a link that is sent to your email address once your purchase is complete. The product description will state if the video material is delivered digitally by an email link or a physical DVD disc. You can find this information in your receipt as well.

If you did not receive a digitally delivered video link, or have accidentally deleted or lost it, contact Customer Support for assistance: support@strategicdefenseandprotection.com

Where can I find the price or specifications of a product?

Product details and prices can be found on our catalog website: www.strategicdefenseandprotection.com

Returns and Refunds

Non-Ammunition products can be returned for a full refund of the purchase price if they are returned within 1 year (365 days) of purchase. Due to the nature of ammunition, it can only be returned if the product is damaged or defective. Damage to boxes does not qualify as damaged or defective. If you have paid the shipping fee on a sample/trial order, you may request a refund for that shipping fee if you are unsatisfied, but do not return any unused cartridges. If you have damaged or defective ammunition please email support at support@strategicdefenseandprotection.com and our support team will guide you through the return and refund process.

When we cancel an order or process a refund you can expect to get your money back within 1-5 business days depending on your financial institution. The process on our end is very quick and simple. However, your bank or financial institution must also process the refund and the time it takes varies. Please allow 1 to 5 business days after we process the refund. If you receive refund confirmation from us and do not receive your refund within 5 days we advise you to contact your financial institution.

Can I cancel my order?

All orders are cancellable up until the time they have been shipped. If your order has not shipped and you would like to cancel your order please contact our support department by email (support@strategicdefenseandprotection.com). We process and ship orders very quickly so you must contact us as soon as possible.

If you order has already shipped and you do not want the product, please contact our support department to make arrangements (support@strategicdefenseandprotection.com). Do not refuse a package from us hoping that will cancel your order. Refused packages do not always get returned to us. This will only make it more difficult for us to refund your order.

Where's my confirmation email and receipt?

A sales confirmation and receipt are automatically sent to the email address provided in the cart check out.

If you're having trouble finding it, make sure you're checking the same email address that was entered into the cart. Also, check your spam folder.

Some internet service providers are hosted on independent domains with aggressive spam filters that can reject and delete an order receipt without the customer even being aware of it. This is rare, but it does happen.

If you need a copy of your order confirmation and receipt email, please contact customer service at support@strategicdefenseandprotection.com.

Why can't you ship ammo to my state?
