Anyone receive a stamp since the shutdown ended? Waiting for a few things from June.
Im still waiting on two stamps from March....
Finally, Kenny sent me a text today saying both my stamps have finally arrived. Going Thursday to pick up my Surge and Occlus.
Check cashed on 12/15/18. Hope I ain't waiting 9 months.

Check cashed - 04/27/2018
Approved - 02/20/2019
Waiting to hear from shop as they are closed today.
I asked Austin (the ATF guy who answered, not the site admin) about another can in jail where that check was cashed on 07/16/2018. It's still pending and Austin said the average wait time is not about 9 months.

I called the ATF today to ask about another can and spoke to a Danielle. Very helpful person despite working in an area that the government doesn't need to be involved with. The new can in question had its clock start on 07/18/2018 and she estimated it would be around the end of April or the middle of May. She said the wait was now around 9 months.
She also gave me info on requesting a certified copy of the approved form 4 in case the actual stamp was lost or the original stamp has not been received after a month (like the stamp for the Sandman S). A letter needs to be created indicating you are requesting a copy of the tax stamp for a form 4 that was approved on <date>. The letter needs to include the following: serial #, your name or trust, the seller's name, the address where to send the stamp, and contact phone number/email address. The letter has to be printed out and hand signed. The letter can be mailed to them but I did not get the address. It can also be faxed to 304-616-4501 or scanned and emailed to nfafax@atf.gov. Neither the fax number nor the email address is faster as the email address just prints the attachment on the fax machine.
Just a note about the address, the address they are to send the letter must be the address they have on file. So if you have moved since you got the tax stamp, you must submit a change of address, have it approved, then request a copy of the tax stamp. You will not get a replacement stamp but you will get a certified copy which carries the same weight.
I'm sure this information has been posted elsewhere on this forum but here it is again. I think I may make a sticky regarding how to get a replacement tax stamp.
Yeah they are really good about sending a certified copy if you need it.
The address change form is the same as the temporary relocation form that you use for crossing state lines, the 5320.20.
