Tritium is a hazmat, and a such amazon doesn't allow it to be shipped to CA. That said, if you try to buy from another amazon vendor it will likely go through just fine. Almost none of the vendors actually label their sights as containing tritium.

I have bought a crap load of tritium sights from Amazon.com direct, including XS big dot sights.
So let's stop the FUD right now. OP has given ONE example, one wonky, messed up example. Perhaps they will fix it for that specific SKU and perhaps they wont, but the title is misleading, and Amazon will ship tritium sights to CA including XS. |

Did exactly that and ordered from ebay. I'm just concerned that this is a systemic issue at Amazon and they are becoming more anti-gun. I order most of my gear from Amazon and it would suck if I had to switch to ebay which is much less reliable in quality and less consistent in shipping.

I've personally had it happen four or five times, and heard of MANY MANY more from customers. It DOES have to do with the fact that they use tritium. I'm contacted amazon and had it confirmed. I had the same thing happen with a watch that had tritium on the face and hands. Think of it like the bluing pen. YES, it is not supposed to be shipped to CA. And IF the vendor has it correctly marked amazon will sometimes catch it. But if you order from a different vendor it goes through just fine.

Many of use, many posted in this thread, I also being one, have bought tritium sights from Amazon into CA. Another "speculation" in this thread, just as legit as any other, is that the seller made an error in their listing behind the scenes and that flagged the Amazon system whereas other sellers did not and sell just fine into CA. Also note, though the OP only gave ONE example, a bunch of us tried to buy it and could not. That is interesting nonetheless and there IS a reason way. We all just want to figure out why. No FUD, just speculation.

Not only that, but the big databases (you upload product info with gigantic Excel spreadsheets) are actually kind of complicated to administer. And the people administering them are rarely high-level folks.

Well, the title of the thread is misleading and very general.

Why buy from them in the first place and not from a company or dealer who supports the 2A? So, you might pay a little more but you get more in return. |

Amazon classes tritium sights as prohibited night vision scopes. Stupid but true. I tried to buy a tritium front post for an AR. Amazon wouldn't ship it. I called them up and talked to CS. They wouldn't budge on it but they did link me to a seller that was selling the same sight for the same price with prime shipping. I bought that without a problem.
Instead of understanding the laws of this idiot state it is easier for amazons lawyers to implement a over restrictive policy. |

I've tried a number of firearm related items, even rubber grips. (Nothing with tritium though)
I talked to many people at amazon. the final determination was that because the item is barred from shipment outside the USA, that it cant' be shipped to California. Seriously. I wish I was kidding. (I even provided a letter from the manufacturer of the item I was trying to by, which pointed out the non-restricted nature of the item.) (I have also had this issue intermittently with protein snack bars...)

You can always compose a professional email to jeff@amazon.com
I would, but I'm tired of spending time on it.

Time to shop around!
Change your vendor! Hazmat isn't hard to ship into CA-just have to follow the rules.
OP-I no longer due business with E-pay. Same with Midway-they were the first to ban ammo sales last go round. Bet neither of them misses my money. Pete |

Not True...the Amazon policy. I just now ordered some Trijicon night sights for a Shield and the order went right through. No problem.

I got the same error message for an oil filter for my motorcycle. Couldn't believe it. So I bought it from O’Reilly's for about the same price.
Amazon is still my go to place for many items I want to buy. Free shipping can save a bunch of money over time.

My son tried to order an airsoft shotgun on amazon. They said they can not ship to our county. I told him to email them what county we live in and that there are no restrictions on airsoft guns in our county.
They said that it was an error and to try to place the order again but it still didn't work. He called their CS dept. and they were happy to help him in ordering it over the phone.

Happened to me too with different firearm related products, most recently when I was trying to order a blue gun to make a kydex holster...
By the way before someone says something really is probably just wrong with my address, i have used amazon for 3+ years spending thousands of dollars to the same address, never once had this error or any issues. I even tried changing the shipping address to my work, same error. . . Last edited by IGORR; 05-06-2016 at 6:23 AM.. Reason: adding info that i forgot |

I don't blame any company or private seller for not being inclined to try and figure out the inane minutiae of commie Cali's firearm restriction decrees. The morass of laws is even more compounded when cesspools like Los Angeles can add their own two-cents.
