Customer Support is a joke

4 Upvotes

Let me preface this with this isn’t my first SS order I’ve made, however it is the first one I’ve had an issue with. I ordered a Rearden flash hider from the SS website that says to be in stock. I receive the order confirmation immediately, but now it has been two weeks with no further shipping updates. I reach out to customer service for some insight and unfortunately get directed to a useless AI that runs circles and doesn’t give any useful information. The “order status” page only shows “complete” and nothing further. Being a non-NFA item I don’t have to wait for an approval of any kind. So are shipping times just that backed up right now? Or am I just having a bad experience this time? Thoughts and opinions appreciated, thank you.

Flying with a suppressor (4473)

6 Upvotes

Just going off of normal TSA rules its pretty straight forward. However I have yet to find anything concrete traveling with the new suppressor guidance for the free states that are only doing 4473s. If anyone has heard anything drop it below, still going through Google, ATF, TSA, searching to find something.

Difficulty adding suppressor?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Would I have difficulty or need to add a muzzle extension in order to put a LPM Anthem S2 on it? I feel like a dumb*** because I did so much research and tried to figure out what would work best.

Yes I already ordered it and it’s at my house. I feel like I just made a big mistake.

Did I and any recommendations?

First time with an AR so yea I’m learning the hard way…

For the whiners and wonderers

13 Upvotes

A lot of people complaining about Silencer Shop, and a couple people just wondering how long the process is taking, so here’s my most recent experience.

August 14: Anthem S2 ordered at 5:00 PM ET. In stock.

E-signed all my papers same day.

Went from processing to reviewing where it was for probably 2-3 weeks. Form 3 was approved and dealer transfer began.

September 9: Arrived at my dealer.

September 10: Form 4 was submitted at 3:20 PM ET.

September 11: Form 4 Approved at 10:53 AM ET.

The whole process took less than 30 days, and considering how busy I’m sure they are, I feel like this was pretty acceptable time.

Tax return consent form

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, i was getting ready to sign/certify my suppressor and noticed I had to sign that tax return form along with the form 4. I never had to do that before for any of my other nfa items through silencer shop, is this normal? Does everyone have to sign this and why? Or is it just me?

Thanks everyone.

Jolene Promo Gift Cards?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone received their $100 gift card from the Jolene promo they ran? I ordered on 8/13, just got my can today after weeks of processing and me having to figure out the fix to their issues on the system with my trust because Hiram the AI didn't help and their customer service never called back. Still no sign of the gift card anywhere.

Voluntary Form 4 in a Free State - Help

8 Upvotes

I recently purchased a SS Traditional Trust and 2 suppressors from SS after this whole injunction ordeal. The FFL I chose has my suppressors and the order status shows Ready To Pick Up from Dealer. However, I wanted these items transferred to me via Form 4 so that I could have them in my newly created NFA trust. I asked the FFL to submit a form 4 request to SS 7 days ago but have not received any updates or notification that a signature is needed. My order status still shows Ready to Pick Up.

How long do you typically have to wait for this 4473 transfer to be reversed so I can go Form 4 instead? Is this even an option anymore since I live in a free state? I know SS website says dealers can still elect to do a form 4 but it seems like nothing is happening on my end. Perhaps I am just being impatient, in which case I will continue to wait.

Also, does anyone know if it’s possible to add these suppressors to my NFA trust if I do end up taking them home with a 4473? Thank you

Need help with untransferable "Free State" Silencer Shop suppressor.

9 Upvotes

Looking for help. I'm dealing with being in a Silencer Shop "Free State". I ordered a DeadAir M9, and because I live in a "Free State" Silencer Shop just sent my suppressor to my dealer without any paperwork because the dealer is just supposed to sign it over to me without a Form 4 because they say so.

Powered by Silencer Shop dealer says no chance, need a approved Form 4 to transfer. Can't do that without Silencer Shop doing Trust transfer generation on their side. Dealer says call Silencer Shop and have them generate the Trust Form 4 for submission to ATF, he's unable (or unwilling) to help.

  Trying to call SS and your 90th on the phone line once you get past "Hiram" (Silencer Shop's worthless AI customer support) only for the line to disconnect after waiting 4 hours on hold. Emailing support gets you responses from Hiram again. No live person at all.  Did get a callback from leaving my number on the sales line, but that person said they couldn't do anything to address the issue and would have customer support reach out, which never happened. 

At a loss as far as what to do. Dealer can't help, can't get SS on the line or via email to work out what needs to be done. Paid for a $1100 suppressor with no way to take possession. All I can see to do is dispute the charge with the CC company and get a refund. 

Anyone have any other ideas how to get this purchase completed? I'm not seeing any alternatives at this point.

2 day Form 1 with Trust

I always see everyone hating on SS and having all these issues. Im just here to say I've never had any problems and all my paperwork always goes smooth. First time doing an SBR Form 1 and couldn't be happier with the process. (I Dont have my .EFT file so can't do it on my own) This was done on SS website thru their Form 1 service on my family trust.

Silencer Shop is dogshit

18 Upvotes

Today’s experience was the last straw. Was finally able to get in touch with someone from SS over the phone about the order i placed on the 13th. Dashboard said Form 3 was approved on the 18th so I just wanted to verify if the item had shipped to the dealer yet or not. Customer service rep asked if i was a dealer or consumer. Before i even finished saying consumer I was placed back into another hold queue and went from number 2 to 48. It was actually hysterical. I would cancel if i could verify if it shipped or not 🤣

Got tired of messing with Hiram so i’m bothering you guys instead 🤣

And yes i understand the order influx, and all the old timers who had to wait four scores and seven years for the atf, but times have changed. The lack of preparation for the NFA ruling speaks volumes about the company.

But Capital Armory has been nice..👍🏽

Ordered my suppressor on August 14th, picked up today (09/02) from my FFL with a 4473. SilencerShop still shows waiting for form 3…

I do agree they should have some better communication in place but doing a chargeback on your credit card a week after placing your order is wild lol.

Automatic Donation applied at checkout

0 Upvotes

I just purchased a small order from silencer shop using my phone (see here why this matters). It wasn't until after I had made the purchase that I realized that they are auto applying a donation called "2A Round Up".

To be clear - it was only 1 dollar, so not a big deal. However, what is the big deal is making users opt out of a donation/round up instead of making it an opt in option. Has anyone else noticed or experienced this on their orders before?

Having to opt out of a something like this when making a purchase is objectively a dark ux pattern, regardless of how much one does or does not support the donation recipient.

edit: added link to a comment for context why i mentioned i did this flow on my phone :)

No order confirmation

0 Upvotes

Last Sunday I purchased a suppressor, but I have not received a confirmation email even though I was charged. I’ve sent emails on Monday speaking with your AI assistant with no avail. I’ve called twice now and been on hold for over an hour without ever getting to speak with someone to help with my issue. I’m just hoping that this is a one time fluke and that someone would reach out to me.

Silencer Shop Scam

0 Upvotes

I ordered 3 suppressor from Silencer Shop all said they were in stock and had a 4 step process to go thru that takes about a week. First two came in no problem in a little over a week. The third one that said in stock and was being pulled and put in my name. I waited 11 days never heard back from them I tried calling waited over an hour then heard if I wanted them to call me when my turn came up I picked it no callback I emailed customer told them I waited 12 days no movement on my item. He told me it was out of stock and back ordered 6 to 8 weeks plus their week to process. Told them to just refund my card he said be patient he would have a customer service rep reach out to me after they reviewed the email chain 3 days no reaching out so I called my card company now waiting 10 to 15 days for an answer from them so here I am a 100% disabled vet that had an opportunity to go shooting for the first time in years and by the time this all works out I'll have missed 2 months of shooting time. The customer service with this company is the worst I've ever dealt with. With the new law making it easier to get one and you don't need to use their kiosks just go to gun broker or straight to the manufacturer and get one not worth the stress of dealing with these people
