Form problem's

[kbi]

Ok I had my form's dropped off the 24TH of Feb and I called the WV branch to inquire if they had been received.

There response No sir what havent received your packet

It was mailed out priority/certified .

Family memeber who mailed it didnt happen to keep the receipt and the only reason I didnt do it myself is Im responsible for opening and closing the part's dept mon thru sat .


Im #$@%ed arent I ?

So now what do I do wait a while (1-2 month) and see what happen's .

This is the problem. As I understand it, all mail, other than regular first class stamped packets, must go to a different sorting/staging area. For proper logging. They will get there, with a nice delay, just fine.

Send your forms in plain envelopes using regular first class stamps addressed to the proper place.

Also, what type of form??

Form 4's go to:

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
National Firearms Act Branch
P.O. Box 530298
Atlanta, GA 30353-0298

Form 1's and all other correspondence goes to:

National Firearms Act Branch
244 Needy Road
Martinsburg, West Virginia 25405

From my experiences thus far, they'll actually 'see' it in about 4-5 more days!

Remember there are also only three responses to status of the transfer:

1) Not in the system.
2) Pending.
3) Approved.

I've checked on F4's before and it wasn't "in the system" the week before when I called, but now the dealer has the F4 in his hands 7 days later.

Odd place, but sending it certified or priority only complicates issues.

Yup that's what the guy siad on the phone when I called . I stand corrected sir .

Note to self dont send form's certified next time!

I'm to the point now, that I don't even think about it until at least 30 days from the day I mailed it.

Around day 45, if I haven't heard anything from the dealer, or gotten the F1 back, I call and see if it's pending.

Your best indicator will be your online banking access. Look at when the check clears. Wait 30 days, then call.
