Another solution is to buy local.

Blaming the shop for not getting the paperwork done on an item that needs to have ffl transfer papers on both ends as well as being shipped across state lines that was purchased at the last minute, from what I can tell, Wednesday before christmas.... that right there is "millennial" thinking.
The buyer should have taken care of business earlier and not expected a Christmas miracle.
I agree with that
I'm thinking if having something ABSOLUTELY 100% FOR SURE WITHOUT FAIL on CHRISTMAS DAY is a necessity... then planning ahead would be a good idea.
Again... I am NOT making excuses for the gun shop. If they said they would do it and they didn't, then fine, they screwed up and dropped the ball. But GD, man, if you're seriously that pissed about it that CHRISTMAS IS RUINED (OH NOES!!!), then you have to take some accountability for waiting until what, 4-5 days before on an item as mentioned above, needs federally-mandated paperwork filled out on both ends, records kept, special shipping, etc., then sometimes it's not gonna work out.
Or get something else on Amazon Prime - they nearly always make it on time.
I'm sorry it didn't work out, and the gun shop surely dropped the ball, yes. But wow... why act like they walked into your house and literally stole presents out from under your tree, kicked your dog, ate Santa's cookies and laughed on their way out the door.

WTF is all this... "millennial" thinking talk? lol... Seems half of you have no clue what that really means and are just arbitrarily throwing out the label. It was like the neckbeard label last year.
Either way, there are two ways to look at this.... regardless of how long someone waited to do this.... when a businessman states his word he should stand by it.
On the other hand I've dealt with enough FFLs and out of state purchases to know that there are only a few FFLs I know that I'd trust to get me something before Christmas within two weeks out. I'd almost never expect it so I'd make sure I'd do it at least a month out.

The OP only knows what the GunBroker seller told him. It's just as likely he received it but pussyfooted around and didn't get it into the mail.
If the OP contacted the local FFL and said local FFL said they would send it then it's done via fax, That takes just a few minutes, Next the "seller" gets the FFL and Payment from Buyer then packs it and puts it in the mail via USPS, FedEx or UPS, ALL handguns must be sent overnight or 2nd day, ( no exceptions) which should have made it to the local FFL in plenty of time before Christmas according to the time OP contacted local FFL in his first post, With all that being said I have to agree with OP and say the FFL is totally responsible. Whether it ruined Christmas or not I don't know but it would have pissed me off as well.
seems to me worst case scenario an employee failed to jump through his ass to complete a last minute transaction and therefore didn't earn the $10 fee they charge for said transactions. I use to think mustang pawn and gun was crazy for charging $50 for a transfer but nowadays I completely understand it
