If you buy from a retailer you don't have to do anything on your end.

You will get an email for each transfer when they are approved. Once you get the email, you can go to your local store and pick it up. When you get the email for the other one, the store will also be notified and they will ship it.

Some stores are requesting that you email them the Transfer Notice upon receiving it because for whatever reason the Seller TN doesn't make it to them on time/at all. I'd double check if they want you to do that - so far SFRC has requested this in my experience.

I’ll add that the store (in person or online) should provide you with the transfer number once they initiate so that you know it’s in progress and can follow up with CFO if needed.
