I have done a search for renewal times for Staffs and found nothing recent, i am getting a little impatient now since putting my coterminous renewal in 3 months in advance. An extension was given up to early Jan, after raising concerns on Christmas and new year break's my concern was being in possession of firearms without a valid licence, the shortly after by a section 7 arrived back dated.

Now sitting at 6 months for a renewal and a 1 for 1(which should be a simple add on), have any members on SD had anything similar with Staffs ? they have normally been pretty good.
 
Fairly good. 2 recent variations have been between 4 and 8 weeks....im ok with that. Had one done in a week last year!
FEO did tell me during my last telephone conversation that they were struggling a little...revoking lots of tickets apparently!
 
4 to 6 weeks would be what I'd of expected. Not 4 to 6 months, I've lost 3 months of stalking so far. I'd accept responsibility but it was put in last August.
 
Been pretty good to me and just had a visit from Andrea.
My renewal is up in September, she advised to get it in by June!

How have you lost 3 months of stalking? You said they'd issued a Sec 7, so crack on!

I bought a new rifle that was returned to GMK due to accuracy issues so needed to put in for a 1 for 1, that was 3 weeks before my licence was out of date. I have other suitable calibre but not suitable rifle due to weight (20lb)

Ah, I understand now.
 
Up date,

received a phone call interview for renewal for Co-Term on Wed 4th March, all went as expected and was told that the licence would be with me the following week. Ive been stupidly expecting it to land on the door matt during this past week, i thought i'd would be opening the brown envelope to then rush off to the RFD and pick up my new rifle that's been collecting dust for the past few months.

31 weeks from them receiving all the documents and still counting, its an absolute disgrace.
 
Having a similar experience with them... renewal documents in 5/4 months in advance.
Expiry date of current certificate (beginning of December) came and went... had to chase them for the 8 week extension letter.
That expired at the beginning of February, called them 2 weeks before as I didn't want to fall foul of unlawful possession of firearms. They said dont worry I wouldn't as its a hold up their end. Kept expecting something through the post prior to my extension expiring... nothing. Called them the day before explaining the situation, again they said dont worry. 5 days after the 8 week extension letter expired I had a section 7 temp cert arrive dated upto the end of april.

Yet I had a variation turned round in a week last year!

Its rather disappointing
 
Update,
Licence arrived Sat am, 7 months and 3 weeks.
I wonder what the reaction would be if i was that late notifying them of a purchase, dread to think.
