personal check or money order for payment?
personal check or money order for payment?
Which form of payment should I use for my $200.00 tax stamp payment to the ATF?
In God we trust, all others are checked through NCIC!

Your going to s--t when you see how quick it clears. Then your most likely to become depressed waiting. Be sure your dealer checks the box so you can check on it's progress with ATF.

what box, I have my signed form 4's in my possession right now. I think you mean that they should have circled the "I Do" part correct?Baboon wrote:Your going to s--t when you see how quick it clears. Then your most likely to become depressed waiting.

Because if your check ever bounces you're in deep s--t. Since it's over $100, it would be a federal felony.Eagle1* wrote:Well then why did my dealer say to get a money order?
I never bounce checks, and I used personal checks for my first few transfers, but now I use "counter-checks" from the bank. You can still check to see when they clear, but the funds are paid up front, and the bank is responsible for them, not you.
Here's the thing: what if they lose your check, you forget about it, and they cash it several months later, and it's that once-in-a lifetime situation where you don't have the funds to cover it?
Most likely you'll never bounce a check. Most likely if you did, it wouldn't be to the federal government while paying your taxes. ($200) Most likely, they'd call you if you did, and have you write out a new check, or cancel your application...
...but...this is the federal government we're talking about. At first chance, they'll shoot your wife and F--k your dog. ...and I'm not going to let a check be the reason for that.

yep but it's a pain - and you can check on when the MoneyOrder goes thru.RedArgon wrote:Shoot your wife and F--k your dog... LOL
I just sent in my form 4 with a money order. The only thing I was concerned about was if the money order got lost in the mail, but I'm pretty sure you can keep the receipt and the post office reimburses you.

But only after 30 days from issuance.
I did a check the first time and a MO the second, both sent certified mail. The second time, the USPS screwed up the cert. mail and never got signature confirmation, nor was I able to track it via the tracking number. I was very nervous about where my forms and money had gotten to from Dec. 2 until Jan. 15, when, after having called BATFE several times, I finally discovered that it had gone to my examiner. A check would have let me know that it had arrived safely sooner.

I'll bet once the check clears it goes pending. Approved is the only thing you really care about. A buddy just picked up a suppressor last week right @ 90 days.

Not really. From my experience you'll go pending about 1 month after the check clears.Baboon wrote:I'll bet once the check clears it goes pending. Approved is the only thing you really care about.

Last time I did it (sent in April) the checks were cashed April 24th I think and I went pending May 28th.
