Credit to the met police

[Hunter87]

Hi all I just want to let you guys know of the fantastic service I have had from the met police When having my licence varied on four seperate occasions I have had my licence back in a week or less with the new calibers /ammo added which I think is fantastic service. I'm not sure if I have helped speed things up myself but what I usally do is send the variation to them next day delivery with a letter giving a detailed explanation of what I want and why I also stick in photocopys of my club membership for good measure (probably doesn't do much to help but hay it doesn't hurt) and hay presto I just don't know what they are doing in the met that other forces can't replicate.

I have to agree.
My dealings with them have always been pleasant, even if we don't agree on some matters.
If a certificate has come back with mistakes on it, they have taken care of it speedily. I haven't had to wait a long time for anything.
My very first FAC was done in two weeks, including the home visit! Last two variations took less than a week...

They were good at turn rounds when I lived in London.

I had a variation within a week not long ago. Excellent work, recommended.

My last renewal with them wasn't so good. They tried to deny receiving the paperwork I sent them, until I emailed them the signed for delivery proof from Royal Mail. After that they couldn't be more helpful.

Oh great on that recommendation I think I'll use them next time!

Everyone seems to slag off their FEOs, often with good reason, so it's good to say something nice about them once in a while.

I'm still waiting for my renewals With Staffordshire I sent my paperwork in at the start of May, my FAC/SGC ran out 2 weeks ago. The week before I sent in multiple emails requesting a section 7 permit. They sent me back a message that I didn't need one and
"Because you have made your application in time, you have fulfilled your legal obligation."
I have been with Staffordshire 10 years and normally they have been excellent. This is the first time they have let me down.
(By the way I will not be moving my 25 or so firearms/shotguns to a RFD as there are 2 other holders in the house who have mirrored certificates to mine)
