Hard copy came in the mail on 24th Sept. Not too bad for this day and age.

just a quick question because I cant remember exactly what I was told during my safety course, so I applied for my licence on the 21/07/2020 and submitted two PTAs on the same day. My licence arrived in the mail today, because the PTAs I submitted were my first does the 28 day waiting period start from the day I submitted them or the day my licence was approved?

Cheers, hope to hear back from yous soon.
Regards, Jesse.

I have been told by people at the safety course that it’s twenty eight days after the application so u should get the pta in your mailbox very soon. Not 28 days after the weapons licence is received ....despite what goes on with other Peoples ptas , they can take different amounts of time to receive. So it’s just a matter of waiting .....try to think of it as something to look forward too every day Instead of being disappointed every day ......that’s what I do

'Usually' you should receive your PTA's around the same time as your license in the mail, but given the current extra delays in license and PTA approvals, I wouldn't be surprised if they drag their feet.

Might be worth touching base with them as your PTA's may have been stuck in a pile due to your license application still being processed at the time. You have well and truly served the 28 day waiting period, so shouldn't be any additional wait time, weapons licensing tend to be fairly helpful when you contact them by phone.

It's always good to start the call with something like "Sorry, I was a little unsure of...." Seems to help things along ;) :thumbsup:

Ive been waiting on a CatH PTA for a month and one day now... still no approval email.

Submitted 21st September

Man the pta system really sux... I can cope with the idea of having every firearm registered... but FFS if you have the license for it, then you shouldnt have to have a pta on top of that as well.

Really shouldn't be any longer than 48 hours for the dealer to receive it. The couple PTA's we've had in recently have been received by the dealer 24 hours after our approval email came through.

Waiting patiently by the letterbox for my paper Cat H PTA that was approved thursday last week. Mrs received her's exactly a week after approval email, looking like it's going to be more like a week and a half for mine.

Are the guys at the big C usually pretty good at notifying you when the pta arrives? Got one approved on the 29th last week and haven't heard from them yet. Figured I'd wait at least a week before ringing em up asking if they've got it.

In my experience they're usually pretty good. Usually they receive them 24-48 hours after you receive the application approval email.

Doesn't hurt to give them a bell, usually they'll email you if you have an order in the system already. I have heard of PTA delivery delays recently, but haven't experience it myself. Last few had been received by dealer in around 24 hours.

Thanks, I got the email 20 minutes after I made this post. Posting about delays in an internet forum seems to work strangely well in regards to getting updates about things. The second you complain about something, bam that item you've been waiting months for from the U.S suddenly appears at your doorstep :drinks:

I just put in for a cat A yesterday, and got approval email in less than 24 hours. I guess it's just the B's and H's that need an extra 3 weeks for some reason.
