Just a quick question for the people in Ontario with restricteds already, did your first transfer take any longer than every transfer after it?

u/knine71551 Jul 11 '22

No my 2nd one took longer than the first due to the level of demand

My first was on May 30th and I was wondering if it was coming soon or if it will be another 2 weeks or something due to it being my first.

What's your first 4 digits for the ref? Anyone that was 5881xxx most of them got their transfers already. I'm at 5892. Should be getting this or next week

u/CringelordCameron Jul 11 '22

Mine is 5889xxx and I'm really hoping that the transfer gets approved this week

u/Other-Negotiation328 Jul 11 '22

You, I, and what appears to be 8-9000 other people!

u/CringelordCameron Jul 11 '22

Let's just hope that they're well past 5881xxx by now

I bought from FOC and they refused to give me a reference number over the phone, said it would take over an hour to look it up and they were busy etc.

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '22

LOL every other retailer puts the reference number in the order page notes. They must have been really bogged down not to do it

My first transfer was six days, now waiting six weeks.

Your Transfer is slow because there have been an unprecedented number of transfers initiated since June 1st.
