Good news BC guns are clearing

Maybe a bit of advice/help for those still waiting:

Called in to BC CFO today (process detailed below) talked with a very helpful agent on a few pending transfers (June 2, 5 and 9). The first one would have never gone thru since the store had selected "collection" instead of range shooting, since I don't have a collection # with the CFP (simple mistake on a glitchy interface that wasn't even working as crappily as it usually does). They are too busy to take the time to sort out erroneous forms on their own. Overall took about 7 minutes of the agents time to get 3 transfers through.

They aren't doing transfers specifically in the order received, and she hinted that most of the approvals are phone-prompted. So give it a week or two before annoying them. But if it has been a bit longer, it may be worth a call in to see if theres a hiccup.

To reach the bc cfo:
Step 1:
Dial 1-800-731-4000, hit 1 when it picks up (english). DO NOT TURN ON YOUR PHONE SPEAKER! Wait thru the 15 second statement about new rules, then hit 1, then 9530. The call will transfer to the bc cfp office. It will ring once, and then a message will say "we apologize but we can't answer the phone". Hang up.
Step 2:
Repeat step 1, 638 times (don't turn on your speaker or the same message will literally suck the soul out of your body)
Step 3:
Recharge your phone
Step 4:
Repeat step 1, 208 times.
Step 5:
On attempt 209 you will get thru and be placed on hold. This will disconnect after 35 minutes
Step 6:
Repeat step 1, 488 times
Step7:
On attempt 489 you will be placed on hold for 24 minutes, then an agent will come on, confirm your identity, and approve your transfers in a minute or two (please be polite).

And you are all done! The system working perfectly as intented!

Good luck!

hahahaha Well that explains it. I only called them 417 times.
 
Purchased on June 3rd and Prophet River sent in transfer request on the June 7th (Firearm was on consignment), received approval from BC CFO today June 30th. I assume BC CFO will also forward transfer notice to Prophet River

Maybe I got lucky. I only had to call twice before I was on hold and only waited on hold for 17 minutes today. I primarily called for an ATT for an upcoming move but was also able to get them to approve a pending transfer to include the gun on the ATT. Hopefully it will be in the mail in the next few days and arrive before my move in 3 weeks.

I forward all to the retailer and make sure they respond with received. So much going on right now. Don't want to wait another week or two until it ships.

bc cfo never sent my approval to another sponsor a couple weeks back... a week later no shipping notice so I fwd it. and the they shipped later that day.
 
For those purchased multiple restricted firearms since May 30th, do you only get one approved so far?

I purchased one handgun, my first restricted, on June 4th and another one on the 5th. The first one was approved on the 23rd by email. Second one still nothing. Its possible CFO is giving priority to the first purchase and holding the rest.
 
Doesn't seem to be just one only. I got a june 1 approved on the 7th, and then a june 3 approved on the 16th. Had to call in for the others (was a data entry error on one) and they were approved over the phone in a couple mins once i got thru. Others at our range have received one or two unprompted transfers (they didn't call in) from buys as recently as the 15th, so doesn't seem to be overly # order based, as some are still waiting on june 1 era purchases

Do keep in mind some stores are quite a way behind getting things into the system (the transfer portal is a joke, just can't handle the volume). One unnamed store put in a transfer on june 21, for a june 10 purchase, so it will show a 594 or 595 #, instead of the lower 593 that a june 10 initiated transfer would have. So purchase date doesn't always mean transfer initiated date.
 
Yup. I took me nearly 1000 tries (seriously). My brother got thru on his second attempt. Mind you, i hit every red light too.

They are in the office today.

I only know the 9530 method for reaching them, anyone else have a different #?
