C&R wait times?

[Maxsplat]

My card was charged 5/29. Thats just over 4 weeks. Should I wait until next week or call tomorrow?

Don't fret... mine came in just under 6 weeks... give them another week or so...

They always get their money immediately. They are very efficient at it.
Only after they charge your card/cash your check does the ~~~ 6 week wait begin.

I got mine last week after a 6-week wait.

Mine took 4 weeks (give or take a few days). They charged my card early too - but that's for processing.

Check the mail - could be there today.

Look closely at every big white envelope.
I had a junkmail envelope that looked exactly like it and almost threw it away.

Second - it was also much thinner than I expected. It only had the licence. Knowing government I was expecting a fat, letter sized envelop with a copy of various rules, welcome letter, brochures and assorted stuff you don't need.

I mailed mine on 6/14/13 and my card was charged by the ATF on 6/20/13. The envelope said it was mailed on 6/28 and it was in the mail for me sometime last week while I was on vacation. The EXP Date is July 1, 2016.

The entire process was done in three weeks.

Mailed mine 5/23 and got it 7/1. I think you should be getting your's soon.

That's how mine came in - pretty non-descript

Lil' sleepy... so pardon if this has already been mentioned... you will get the nondescript envelope and then in about another week or so, you will receive a LARGE envelope full of rules and regulations and forms and a book of C&R eligible guns and Safety Information and joy, oh joy of joys... Oh how happy you will be ... when you see most of it is dated @ 2005 or 2010 or whenever... but you will get more than your C&R license...

Thanks for all the replies! I havent check the forums nor did I get notifications of updates so I'm just now seeing what has been said. Again Thanks for all the information I really appreciate it!

What is the return address listed there? I'm going to need to go digging and make sure I didn't miss anything. I have a huge pile of junk mail to be shredded so I need to go digging through it before I start shredding.


Nevermind I see you already answered that question.

Anticipate 2 months, and then be happy if it comes in earlier. They seem to be being processed fairly fast now, but a four weeks is nothing!

The part that sucks is that 2 months is longer than it too to get my handgun out of MSP purgatory. I know I was lucky with that but still. I'm just trying to help do my part to boost the economy.

Just got mine!

Card charged on 6/26, license arrived in the mail today.

I am over the moon with excitement. Now I gotta figure out how not to go broke ordering C&R goodies.

Hopefully mine comes in soon. Sent it in 6/28 and they cashed the check a few days later

 

[Arcamm]

It took me 66 days to receive mine. I sent it out in March. This is how mine worked. I sent it to GA or where ever I was suppose to send it, I don't remember. Eight days later, the cc was charged. Five days later it arrived in WV where it was processed. When I called, they told me it could take 60 days from the time it reached WV. It took a few days less.

 

[snakep]

Mailed my app on 6/17 and got the license in the mail on 7/20...pretty quick.

 

[Maxsplat]

So I called today and the gentleman I spoke with basically said that it was received (I assume in West Virginia I didn't ask) on June 4th and that I should have something, denial or approval, in 60 to 90 days. At this rate I'm just going to go buy another modern handgun and see which comes first.
