Is Firearms Outlet Canada super backed up on shipping? Or does anyone have any insight into how they are doing? I sent them my transfer approval, they confirmed receipt of my email, and said it will be couple days to a couple weeks until my restricted is shipped out. It’s been two weeks and there’s been no word. They also told me not to call or email cause it slows them down.

I would at least wait until 3 full weeks has passed before contacting them. As you said, they told you it could take "a couple of weeks".

Totally fair, I wasn’t going to try and contact them, more just curious if anyone knows how backlogged they are, etc.

took them just shy of 4 weeks to initiate a transfer on a restricted I purchased last month… they’re a mess!

I bought from them Sept 10 at TACCOM. They initiated the transfer 8 days later and emailed me the ref on Sept 27 at my request. I emailed them on the Monday following the show and they asked me to email again 2 weeks later.
