Can a store keep my fully transferred handgun from me

Potentially every seller on EE could do the same, we are talking about opening a huge can of worms here...
What would you describe as a justifiable situation for seller to do that?
What about CGN member with seller's remorse... just refund the money, call CFO to reverse the transfer and keep the gun that was already rightfully sold?
How about someone offering more money, and seller changing who is he going to sell the gun to? (refunding and cancelling the transfer).
If situation is exactly as described in OP, store is absolutely wrong and needs to fulfill their end of the deal.
In this case OP says he has the registration certificate. The transfer is complete but no item in hand. The retailer would presumably have to commit identity theft and misrepresent themselves as OP to transfer it back in a new transfer, rather than halting the initial transfer...

I'd say the store is in the wrong, and in any other situation I'd tell them to do the reverse and refund. Because we are in unique times, right or wrong is irrelevant at this point, it's only about whether I want that gun or not.
How much much was the gun, and how extra are they requesting? An extra $50 on a $1500 gun, or an extra $250 on a $200 gun?

Retailers can universally process both ends of the transfers and reverse them. A reversal has happened to me twice. Individuals on EE can't.
It is a strange case. How much shipping are we talking about, both in total and percentage terms?
Some retailers are on the margins to offer the best price to begin with. If the item was cheap or on sale, I can see the retailer not wanting to take a loss. (and I personally would not want them to frankly).
Canada Posts rate have not gone up substantially. They clearly lost some kind of special rate arrangement when they had to switch carriers.

What is interesting is that without even having to name the store most people here seem to know exactly what store it is and doesn't that say something about Tenda ! Obviously they have a history of pulling crap like this for that to happen

Tenda charges me less than $9 extra to deliver 4 thousand rounds of ammo via UPS. I would imagine a handgun would be no more than that, and I can't see someone balking about $9. Tenda also knows that projectiles are not explosives and can be shipped via multiple means in Canada. So I would be surprised if it's Tenda.
This exactly, I have had shipping miscalculations on firearms and had to pay more several times
I paid ( wasn't happy about it) but no sweat I forgot about it within 24hrs
This thread is the only way I remembered the times I had to pay more
Get your gun and shoot it !!!!
CGN never disappoints...
My post is factual, not guesswork of idle hands.
Individuals CAN reverse the transfers, it has happened and I have personal knowledge of cases when it did happen.
I can see that many people feel compassion towards the store who might be losing some of the profit, due to unforeseen circumstances.
Especially when it costs someone else, but not themselves.
Ah, I see now. Still wondering what the extra charge $$ was. Tenda has had an extra charge shipping policy for a long time now but it's never been very expensive for me.
I am confused and wonder if you can clarify. Individuals and retailers can initiate a new transfer without the explicit approval of the firearm registration certificate owner, after a transfer has been approved and completed and certificate issued?
Or do you mean reversing a transfer yet to be approved by the CFO?
I should clarify that situation usually occurs when buyer insists for transfer to be started before full/ or any payment has been received.
That is a very risky proposal for seller that has potential to end badly, and complicates things unnecessarily.
Never start a transfer before being paid in full.

Thanks for the clarification!
Easy there, not trying to offend but that is not correct. Individuals can only reverse the transfer before the CFO has approved.
And sorry, I am a big supporter of small business and fairness factors into it, hence the question about the materiality and % of the transfer. If it is a slight reduction in profit margin, for sure the business should eat it. If it business is going to lose $50 on a $300 Tokarev because of an unforeseen change in providers, I'd have no problem chipping in as the buyer. These retailers are not rolling in it...
What happened in these instances anyway?
