Role Summary
We’re looking for a Remote Customer Service Specialist who can deliver fast, accurate, and professional support to our customers—especially during high-volume sales periods. This role is ideal for someone who already understands the firearms e-commerce space and can confidently guide customers through product questions, order issues, shipping expectations, returns, and compliance-related restrictions.
Important: This position requires previous customer service experience at another firearms-industry e-commerce retailer (magazines/ammo/accessories). We’re specifically looking for someone who already speaks the language of this industry and understands the nuances of restricted items, destination limitations, and customer expectations.
What You’ll Do: Customer Support & Order Assistance
- Respond to customer inquiries via email and phone with a solutions-first mindset during our published support hours
- Help customers with order status, address updates, order changes/cancellations (when possible), and general account support
- Provide clear, consistent answers that align with our policies—no guessing, no runaround
Shipping Support (Set Expectations & Reduce “Where’s My Order?”)
- Explain our fulfillment expectations
- Educate customers on transit timing and carriers
- Handle shipping exceptions (carrier delays, RTS packages, address issues) with clear documentation and follow-through
Returns, Exchanges & Refund Guidance
- Support customers through returns/exchanges according to policy
- Help customers with Return Authorization requests and ensure the right details are captured for fast processing
Documentation & Continuous Improvement
- Document customer interactions clearly and consistently (tickets, order notes, internal handoffs)
- Identify repeat issues and suggest process/policy improvements that reduce contact volume and improve the customer experience
- Partner with fulfillment/warehouse teams to resolve order problems quickly and prevent repeat issues
Required Qualifications
- Experience at another firearms-industry e-commerce retailer in a customer-facing support role (required)
- 2+ years of customer service experience (email + phone support strongly preferred)
- Strong written communication skills (clear, concise, and professional—especially when explaining policy)
- Comfort working with e-commerce tools (order management, ticketing/helpdesk, shipping/tracking portals)
- High attention to detail and ability to stay calm under pressure during volume spikes
Preferred Qualifications
- Deep familiarity with products in the space (magazines, ammo, accessories, optics, gear)
- Experience handling restricted-item scenarios and destination limitations (policy-driven support)
- Experience writing or maintaining help-center/FAQ content and macros
What Success Looks Like
- Customers get fast, accurate answers that match policy and reduce back-and-forth
- Fewer escalations caused by unclear expectations about shipping timelines or returns policies
- Strong ticket hygiene (clean notes, correct categorizations, clear next steps)
- You become a dependable “go-to” for firearms e-commerce edge cases
Why Work Here
- Founder-owned and growing: Your work directly impacts the customer experience and the company’s momentum
- Straightforward, customer-first standards: We take pride in “top-tier, industry-leading customer service” and want people who take that personally
- Remote role with real ownership: You’ll be trusted to solve problems, not just respond to tickets
