    RThey should be done and processed within 14 days. Allowing for postage, to anf fro from stations give it 3 weeks. Wait then till week 4 and ring the station to follow up on the condition of the substituion.

    Make sure they check its a substitution. Was talking to a lad recently that was complainging he hadn't gotten his substitution within the 14 days. Turns out he made a mistake on the application and it was processed as a full NEW license application.

    Ring your station. They can check then and there on PULSE to see where it is.

    I was waiting 2 months for my shotgun sub to come back. Got mine just 3 days before the pheasants started.
