    From the staff and owners - we would like to thank everyone,
    despite the high levels of stress people have remained polite, friendly, and reasonable throughout this experience - it is greatly appreciated!



    an update;

    We are open for shipping over the next 2 weeks on reduced staff, deliveries are coming in still.

    We will not be answering the phone after 4pm EST today for at least 2 weeks. If you need to reach us send an email to info@alflahertys.com or visit the contact page on our site.

    We will not be open for pickup orders. All orders must be submitted via the website until indicated otherwise.

    If you submitted an order for pickup prior to 11am EST this morning you have until 4pm EST this afternoon to pick it up.

    If not, you will need to order for shipping. We can not make exceptions for this.

    People submitting or waiting for transfers


    I know you're excited about your new firearm, so are we!

    With that said the government offices that perform transfers have a very very heavy workload on them at this time.

    If you purchased after March 11th (the day the WHO announced the pandemic was official), you can expect big delays due to a large volume of new purchases being registered with the CFO's across Canada.

    As a result (for Ontario at least) you can probably expect a 4-6 week wait for them to put a stamp on your firearm transfer and release it so we can either ship it or let you know it can be picked up.
    If you email us to ask about the status of the transfer we won't be able to tell you more than that. Once they send the paperwork we can mail it out, if you want to pick it up at the store we can not provide a date that we will be open for pickups, but likely given the long window for an approval we should be open again by the time the CFO clears the transfer for you.

    We assume that the wait time will be pretty uniform across the country unless the RCMP/CFO offices bring in extra staff to clear the backlog.

    AFOS - 2020/03/24 @1:30pm

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    I'm sure by now everyone has started to hear the chatter about the Ontario Government ordering all non-essential services to shut down.

    This will impact us and all other firearms businesses in the province starting at midnight tomorrow.

    To prepare for this we will be winding down our services tomorrow for the shutdown.

    We will be shutting down our operation at 4pm EST on March 24th 2020 due to the Government of Ontario's decision to close all non-essential services.


    Customers will be able to to pick up orders if they selected that option at checkout until 4pm EST on March 24th.
    After that time there is no pickup at the store and the option will not be offered on our website.


    Orders to be shipped out must be submitted by 11am EST on March 24th for us to ensure that they are packed and ready to go before our courier pickup.
    Orders submitted after 11am EST will not be shipped until normal business hours are resumed.


    The online store will be operating and tracking inventory throughout the shut down, however orders will not be fulfilled, or processed until we are allowed to open again by the Provincial Government. As you can imagine, there will be a period of delay until we get up to speed again. We will try our best to answer emails in a timely manner in the meantime.




    We wish good health & peace of mind to all as we will get through this together.
    With great appreciation,
    Al Flaherty's Outdoor Store

    We appreciate it, the next few weeks are going to be challenging for everyone, and our supplier increased the ammo cost so the next big deliveries are going to sting the wallet. If you purchase it through the website for pickup we'll put it aside for you to come by.
    Otherwise the free shipping rate is $300
    (barring the dreaded "extended area" UPS freight fees in which case we will cover the first $20 in shipping)

    Due to some chaos yesterday we will be reducing our hours for the near future.

    Monday to Friday we are now open from 9am to 6pm (Before we where open until 7pm M-Th, and 8pm on Fridays)

    We will only be permitting 3 people in the store at any given time. As with before if you order through the website for store pickup you will be prioritized for entrance over people coming to browse.

    We may not be able to answer the phone, and inventory volumes are shifting regularly.

    If you would like to know what ammunition is in stock please check on the website.

    The Al Flaherty's Website will list the exact quantities left available for purchase and the inventory updates every minute.

    Further Updates - 2020 March 19th

    We would like to thank everyone,
    despite the high levels of stress people have remained polite, friendly, and reasonable throughout this experience - it is greatly appreciated!

    To reduce some of the chaos we're adjusting our hours and the way we operate to ensure our staff & clients health while minimizing risk.


    • SHIPPING - We will be unable to accommodate changes in order status from Shipping to Pickup and vice versa, our shipping department is packed and it creates a lot of additional work during a chaotic time.
      We will continue to ship qualifying orders over $300 at no charge**
    • CFO Transfer Times - Not something we can predict at the moment for Ontario, prior to the last weekend the average was 2.5 weeks but delays can be expected due to the high volume of transfers, the small government office that handles transfers & the reduced staffing at the CFO offices.
    • Only 3 Clients in the Store at Any Given Time - if there is a lineup outside the store clients with orders that have received a "Item Awaiting Pickup" email will be moved to the front


    Al Flaherty's New Hours • 2020-03-19

    • Monday to Friday - 9am to 6pm EST
    • Saturdays - 9am to 4pm EST
    • Sundays - CLOSED*

    *we will be at the building to process web orders & emails but will not be letting people in or answering the phone

    **We ship orders over $300 free when possible, but if the total cost of freight is over $40 we will require a partial payment from clients.
    In these cases we will cover the first $20 in freight charges and provide an invoice for the remainder
    If the cost of freight is too much the client can choose to cancel the order at no penalty as long as it has not left our store - we understand your dollar is important
    • Examples of items that would result in an additional charge: heavy ammunition shipping to rural areas, ammunition shipping to remote areas, heavy ammunition orders (this is why we only ship 2 cases per client per day), large objects such as fishing rods that can not be reduced in length
    • Firearms & similar items would not require any additional charges

    Bumped - physical store closed to public - store pickup or shipping only, see top for details

    If you are picking up a restricted firearm you will need to provide appropriate locks and transport. We are not accepting sales at the door so you will need to either bring the appropriate gear or make a purchase online with your mobile device at https://alflahertys.com

    Exclamation Regarding emt payments and store pickup

    Just a heads up about EMT payments & Order Pickups

    You can select the EMT payment option at checkout, however this option does not automatically commit inventory to you.
    • To process an EMT payment we need to manually approve the payment status - and no inventory is taken off our shelves until this is done
    • If you submit an order for EMT Payment ensure that you send the EMT ASAP to ensure you receive your order
    • EMT Payment orders that payment is not received within a 2 hour window will be cancelled


    Regarding Store Pickup Orders
    Orders can be picked up, but until you receive the "Item Awaiting Pickup" email your items are not available and you will need to wait until we have had time to pull your items off the shelves

    A reminder we are on modified hours and the store will be closed at 4pm today and we will not be open like we usually are on Sundays.

    If you order for pickup and receive an email indicating it is ready after 4pm you will need to pick your item next week on Monday or later.

    Orders through the website are paid in full and will be held until your convenience unless the option selected was EMT

    EMT orders require manual verification and will take longer to process than credit card purchases
