I wasn't singling you out, just saying, how many unneeded calls have to be made, everyone knew the details of buying a can. I hear all the time, "I called', well just what the fuck did you find out, but now you feel better about it.
if your wait time has surpassed the average, call. They have been good about getting rejections back to people, for any odd reason.
Well, the call takers are not associated with the examiners. That's point one that makes your comment here ignorant.
Point two, is the fact that, depending on payment method, you may not know when your form went pending. Such is my case since I paid using USPS MO for most of mine. If you want to be able to contribute to NFA tracker, you need to know the pending date.
Point three, If you don't call to check, you have no idea if they even have your form unless you sent it in with signature confirmation, and even then they could lose it internally.
And finally, point four; calling to check may help you track down an issue ahead of time. For example, on one of mine, my dealer added a digit to the SN on the form-4. Because I called to check, I was able to find out that the proper SN doesn't have a form attached to it; that allowed me to track down the issue. Granted, nothing can be done until the form is approved, but my dealer is now fully prepared to get the change request mailed in as soon as he receives the approved Form-4 with the wrong SN on it.
So in conclusion, don't be a jackass. There are plenty of good reasons to call and check on your forms. Perhaps not so much for calling weekly, but that still isn't impacting you at all, so stop bitching.
