Your RFD should have checked to see if the seller had entered it onto your FAC when you collected it.

If not he should have then checked you had relevant authority to acquire it then entered it onto your FAC and notified the police, that's what's supposed to happen within 7 days on the acquisition of a firearm.

I can acquire it without an FAC.

It was posted to me, RFD-to-RFD, and RFD transfers do not need to be notified to the relevant police departments.

So you're an RFD then, that explains that one :)
