It's possible that you didn't need to complete anything at all but the CFP rep just went through the motions. Alternatively, the CFP may not have realized you were simply calling to check the status since 99% of the time the vendors don't volunteer the transfer reference number for a retail transfer unless you call and ask for it.
If you definitely completed a personal transfer the best explanation would be you got a gun that one of the employees had bought for themselves but changed their mind. Maybe someone reneged on a sale after the transfer had been completed? Who knows, extremely unlikely you are getting a used gun...
