FFL Adding Additional Wait Acceptable?

Wow. What a turn this thread has taken.

For my part, I'm a pretty patient person. After all, I went through the whole process of having a pistol added to the roster so that in mid November I could finally take home the pistol I ordered in early April. But I'll maintain what I said earlier about thinking that an FFL should take no more than two days to log a gun into their books from the time they received it. I'd even wait an extra day or so. But if I get pushed off much longer than that, or if the shop pushes back on me for any reason, that's another matter.

On a side note, any shop owner complaining about the current pace of business for the shop....I'm not sure what to say. To me this seems like a golden opportunity to expand a client base and to make a bunch more money. I'd be laughing all the way to the bank, even if it meant me burning up some long days to keep my nose above the water and to stay on top of everything.

But that's just my opinion. One that I gave specifically because I'm a know it all and I'm working on my post count.

Sanity check if this seems off.

Dealers have less stock but are also making transfers as a condolence prize. Maybe more than usual amounts of packages are hitting their doors. Perhaps a good thing as its more transfer fees net to them to make up for lack of stock.

Do you think its fine with the dealer making you come back in a few days so they can enter it in the books first? Delivery Arrival notice 5 hours prior, I am standing there taking time off work?

I feel its unacceptable and entering them on the books is not a labor intensive ordeal for a paid service.

Would you be understanding or opt out of choosing future transfers. Has anyone experienced this sort of thing?

So my "Occupation" on the 77r wasn't good enough. I get another 7 days- just awesome.

If I put Door to door Asprin salesmen It'd be fine.

In case you have not experienced this. Some may purposefully want to be vague. Here is what's new (to me anyway-I've always used same thing).

Unknown if MSI has any interest in delays due to nonsense. I almost want to start troll list of what absurd job descriptions will be not disapproved.

Your opinion is moderate and well argued. My point was towards some who are dismissive towards expectations of reliable and timely service from the FFL. I think 1 or 2 days are acceptable wait once they receive it. Being told to just wait and thinking that is ok...I get the arguments of both sides, I just expect them to be done in a considerate manner rather than insulting the person who started the thread and was asking for opinions.
