FastBound will not and cannot modify your data. Any missing info will need to be corrected by you after we send your converted file back to you.

FastBound will run your file through our conversion tool and send it back to you as a .xlsx file.

The converted file may be missing information. You will need to add this missing information to be able to import your file into FastBound. This missing information may include some or all of the following.

  • Acquire Type – This allows you to filter your Bound Book into smaller Bound Books. Please see our help page for more information.​

  • Contacts – The acquired from contacts may all be listed in the same field. FastBound has three types of Contacts: FFLs, Organizations, and Non-Licensees. These must be entered correctly.

  • Addresses – The acquired from addresses may be listed in the same field, or it may be completely missing. FastBound requires an address and they must be in the proper fields: Address, City, State, Zip, and Country Code.

  • FFL Number – FastBound requires the full FFL Number. If the FFL Number only contains the First 3 and Last 5 digits of the FFL Number, it must be corrected.

  • Expired or invalid FFL Information – Our conversion tool will attempt to get the FFL info and FFL expiration dates from your file. If our tool cannot do that you will need to update your file with the missing information.

You can also add details to your import file before importing your items into FastBound. These are all optional.
