Wait time to cash check?


Recommended Posts

I paid for another suppressor in July and I used a postal money order for the tax stamp-first time I've used a money order. In all of my previous experiences, I've either used a check or I've paid the retailer and they wrote the check. Anyway, I've always seen the check cash a few days after sending paperwork and from what I've seen on NFATracker.org, this is the norm.

This time, though, my money order has not been cashed and the papers were sent in mid July. I would like to tap into the collective wisdom here to ask: should I be worried? It's been almost 2 months. I've called the NFA number a few times and they now tell you that it takes 90 days to enter the system-used to be 8 weeks. Is it normal for payment to be held in some cases and for what reason? I am as patient as I can be- I expect a long, grueling wait! But, 2 months without payment clearing seems excessive, even for NFA.

Thoughts?

no, they can and they will take their time.  most workers in that organization feel that you should not have a suppressor and/or any guns.  so they will take their time and there is nothing you can do about it.  think,, irs and the tea party.  we need a reset of all federal/state government organizations.  they need to remember that they work for us.

In my experience, they have always cashed my check within a week.  That remained true even on recent purchases with the spike in NFA interest.  I'm guessing you didn't send the paperwork with delivery confirmation?  I always send the forms in via USPS priority with delivery confirmation so I at least know they received the forms.

I sent my paperwork off April first, they got it a few days later and the check was cashed June 29th. So roughly two months to cash the check.


That's reassuring...my fear is just not knowing if it got lost in the mail. Since it now takes 90 days to enter the system, I will not even know that (possibly) for another month. The retailer mailed it so I have no way of tracking it.

I also wasn't sure if sending a money order changed the way things happen on their end.

Thanks for the replies, all.
