This just in:
Good Afternoon,
As a result of the increased workload and modified staffing schedules due to the COVID-19 protocols, beginning at 12:01 am ET, Saturday March 27, 2020 until 8 am ET, Monday March 30, 2020 the NICS Section will be temporarily disabling the Transfer Process. This means, when calling in a NICS check, you will be given a status immediately, to include delays with a Brady Transfer Date, and not transferred to an FBI Examiner for further review.
Thanks,
The NICS Business Unit

You can find a site online that list all the FFL in your zip I did that and found a guy in my neighborhood that just had his FFL so he could get stuff easier for him and his buddies. Ended up being nice guy and runs it out of his house and only charges like $10 and will get whatever I want haha

Please, please, please call the FFL before you have something shipped to them. Broke a guys heart last week. He shipped the purchased gun to our work. Gun arrives and no one knows anything about it. Guy calls 5 days after receipt wanting to transfer and pick up. Actually sir, we don't do transfers, but since we have the gun we will make an exception for $250 or ship the gun back. Your choice.

If you don’t do transfers, how did the guy know to ship it to you? Furthermore why would the shipper send it to you without your FFL info?
Also $250 is ridiculous.

$250 was a good number considering he did not call and we had to process his paperwork manually.

My advice for those who will listen is to get your LTC if you wish to get a gun transferred through a FFL...last thing yo want is to walk away from a deal because your dealer can't get through.
Here is the explanation directly from NICS:
Good afternoon,
Please be aware that the NICS Contracted Call Center (NCCC) will still be fully operations and accepting background checks this weekend. During the timeframe of 12:01 am ET, Saturday March 28, 2020 until 8 am ET, Monday March 30, 2020 , instead of getting a response of, “please hold for further review” and being transferred to an NICS Examiner, the NCCC representative will provide a delay status and the Brady Transfer Date. Again this is a result of the increased workload and modified staffing schedules due to the COVID-19 protocols and is only temporary.
If you are utilizing E-Check your process will operate as normal.
Thank you and we apologize for any confusion,
NICS Business Relations TeamLast edited by Artos; 03-27-2020, 08:30 PM.
