You may feel that way but when some one takes on the moniker of a Powered By Dealer I would assume that Silencer Shop would at least vet that place and feel that they are worthy of representing them.

I'm a Powered By Dealer.
I don't "represent" Silencer Shop anymore than I do any of the other retailers and distributors I use.
Being a "Powered By" dealer merely means the dealer has agreed to receive silencer transfers from Silencer Shop without an additional transfer fee. SS deducts a fee from the Powered By dealers price for processing the Form 4 on behalf of the dealer. Each Powered By dealer sets his own pricing on the Silencer Shop website.
Typically, a buyer buys the silencer directly from Silencer Shop. After the Form 3 is approved SS ships it to your local Powered By dealer (that you chose). ATF will mail the tax stamp to the Powered By dealer, who then can transfer it to you.
But you didn't buy your silencer from Silencer Shop.....you bought it from that dealer. SS allows dealers to upload their own silencer inventory information to SS, who will process the Form 4. If a dealer carries brands that SS doesn't (like SilencerCo or Dead Air) it allows the buyer to use the SS kiosk for prints, the SS photo app and use SS for processing the Form 4. The silencer never leaves your dealers store.
Nothing requires a Powered By dealer to upload his inventory or utilize SS for Form 4 processing. When I sell a brand that SS doesn't carry, I just complete the Form 4 myself.
But I guess that might be way off base.
I believe so.
Your dealer is 100% at fault. He didn't upload his inventory (which is damn easy) to SS. I think you would agree that it's pretty difficult for SS to process a Form 4 on a silencer they know nothing about.
Then you can also throw in I was told I would get some swag for finding the bug about the web site adding sales tax to your tax stamp purchase if you added it to the cart with a one shot trust. <ya I am sure after posting this it will be in the mail when I get home LOL>
You want stickers? I'll mail you some stickers.
Your mileage may vary But that is 2 strikes in a row as far as I am concerned, They offered to contact the powered by dealer and take care of it now maybe I misunderstood that but that's the way it looked to me.
Being that you didn't buy the silencer from them and your dealer being an idiot, I would say SS has been more than accommodating. They really don't owe you jack squat.
I just want my form 4 started its been almost 3 weeks.....
And who's fault is that? Not SS.
