I bought from G4C, received transfer approval last week and forwarded it to them right away. Still waiting to hear back, shouldn’t they ship it right away? Has anyone bought from them and noticed a delay between transfer approval and actual ship date?

They will only ship it once they have received the transfer approval from the CFO. it doesn't matter if you have. It only takes an extra day or two typically.

Hmm strange, FOC didn’t seem to have a problem with me sending the copy I received instead. Thanks for the heads up!

I guess it depends on the shop then but that's been my experience.

Interesting that G4C do that.

Dante Sport waited for me to send my transfer approval for 3 weeks, lol. Because they don't get those from CFO apparently.

Once I emailed in, and call to confirm, the restrictied show up next week.
