How does the new NR transfer system work? I got this message when I made a recent purchase online "If you would like to use the reference numbers (not expired, each reference number is valid for 90 days) for your next purchase of Non-Restricted firearms in our store, please keep this reference number along with this order number."

Can I use this reference for any other seller within 90 days? Or only from this one merchant?

Also; holy crap I ordered an NR from FOC sept 8th and it's still sitting but I order this NR from Tenda on Monday and it's already verified and shipping.

Not 100% sure, but keep in mind that for NR, it is not a transfer. It is a 'PAL validation check' reference number.

Just sitting according to Canada Post? Their tracking is usually inaccurate.

UPS.

The label's been printed, but it hasn't left that state for over 10 days now.
