From a store I'm assuming? My retailer told me they aren't sending transfer initiation notifications due to high volume.

I purchased some new pieces and I enquired because I hadn't received any email regarding whether it was initiated or not. I got the completed transfers awhile later.

I was worried my retailer had not initiated a transfer. I actually found out one transfer wasn't initiated due to a clerical error. I added on a mag and forgot to confirm the emt. So the gun was held from being transferred even though it was paid in full. Minus the added on mag . It was kinda annoying. I would maybe ask them if they still issue reference numbers.

I wouldn't be surprised if the CFO may have asked retailers not to send out reference numbers in order to stop the transfer inquiries.
