I purchased a "new to me" CZ 75BD via GunBroker last week. The seller and I have been in constant communication since the auction, he's a heck of a nice guy in Arizona. I am off of work on Fridays and Saturdays, so last Friday I proceeded to my local FFL to send out the paperwork (even supplied my own stamped and addressed envelope!) assuming he was going to send it out that day... We all know what happens when we assume, right ? I noticed while I was in his shop that he was packing most of his firearms up in preparation for a local show. He put the signed copy of the FFL in the envelope, sealed it up, gave me my receipt, and I was on my happy-go-lucky way. When I got home, I informed the seller of aforementioned pistol that the FFL was on its way, he told me that as soon as he received it he would ship out the gun and e-mail me with the tracking number. Pretty routine.
The same day, I purchased a couple of standard capacity (16rd) magazines from a gentleman all the way across the country (about as far as you can get, he's in Alaska, I'm in Florida), which arrived on Tuesday. 3 days, not bad! Ordered some ammo from Natchez Shooter's Supply, arrived Wednesday. By now, I'm getting concerned about my copy of the FFL being lost in the mail, so I e-mail the seller. Surely the post office would deliver a letter to Arizona faster than something can arrive to me from ALASKA, right? Still no FFL.
I called my local, he admits that he did not mail it out until last Monday! AWWW MAN! :banghead: At any rate, it did arrive to the seller today but he won't be sending it out until tomorrow, which means it won't arrive until Monday (stupid UPS charging a small fortune for Saturday delivery... I thought "next day" meant next day, not "next convenient day for us"!) Due to my work schedule- I leave for work before the shop is open and don't get home in time before they close during the week- it looks like I may have to wait until next Friday!!!
Crap. What do I do with ammo, magazines, and cleaning supplies for another week?
Thanks local FFL holder... I hope you made more than the $15 you charged me for the transfer at that gun show! Honestly, he's a great guy, and I hope he did do well at the show, but I am in pain here! Sorry, just had to rant a while! I feel only slightly better, though.
Take care all, Steve.
