Of the 3 form 4's I got this year, 2 of them have had the stamps take more than 30 days to arrive after approval. Has anyone else had this kind of inefficiency? When I got the call today, I was told they got in 3 other stamps where the forms had been approved for some time. Maybe they're only making monthly trips to the post office.
We’ve had even crazier stuff than that happen. We had one where after 30 days we requested (and received) a certified copy of the stamp. The customer came and picked up their item and then like a month later we got the original stamp.
It’s just crazy. You know those big canvas mail bins that are on wheels and are like 3-4’ tall and like 3-4’ square? They *misplaced* one full of forms like five years ago. After a few weeks they found it.
We just had them deny a customer’s 5320.20 permanent relocation form based on the fact that it didn’t have the date of transport filled in. We use the transport dates for temporary forms but have had dozens of intrastate permanent move forms approved without filling that in. What makes it more hysterical is the fact that intrastate moves are simply notifications and there is no statutory authority for them to even be notified—-the customer was just being thorough and responsible.
I’m very frustrated with ATF branch right now and am really hoping they get things turned around there soon.

My last can from Kenny took 320ish days to come. Actually it was even longer because it was a freebie from SilencerCo. I purchased one can and got this one free on 6/29/18 with a seperate 22 can I also bought. 300 days later the first two arrived. I had to wait for SilencerCo (who was overwhelmed by their summer give away) to process and ship the freebie to Meplat. I signed the form 4 on 11/19/18 and I finally was able to pick up the can and stamp On Sep 16th.

Another Form 4 stamp for a trust: 9 months, 22 days from mailing of forms to receipt of stamp
Not sure what just happened at ATF, but I just received 2 approved Form 4's with trusts that were mailed on December 3, 2019 - stamps received on March 2, 2020; less than 4 months total elapsed time! I have several older Form 4's that are still in the pipeline, which have not yet been approved, including one for the same customer.
