Couldn't pick up my guns tonight

[slainla]

So maybe it's just my luck but has anyone experienced DROS Entry System (DES) being down during DROS or pick up?

It was down for about 30 minutes when I DROSed my items a couple weeks ago.

And when I went to pick up tonight, it was down again after releasing one item. Since it was closing, the store waited about 20-25 minutes before calling it quits and asked a few of us to come back before the 31st.

I can't blame the store but I'm upset that I wasted 1.5 hours in traffic for nothing.

Hell will break loose if DES is down on the 31st.

Mid 2015 it was down for the majority of 2 days. Good luck.

Hopefully not "down" on purpose, doj would screw a bunch of people if they decided to do site maintenance or something for the last 4 days of the year.

I'm certain CA DOJ will get right on it!

They're not open on the 30th? You're a brave soul to be picking up on the 31st...

It's staaaaaarrrrrrting.

and it's going to get exponentially worse right up until midnight of the 31st.

Glad I won't be there.

I'm going back tomorrow night to pick up. It better not not be down again.

Isn't the DROS system only available until 11pm?

Per the DROS Entry System Page:
Holiday Hours: The Customer Support Center will be closed Sunday, December 25th in observance of the Christmas holiday. However the DROS Entry System and the Firearm Certification System will still be available from 7:00 am – 11:00 pm.

I would show up well before that store closes for the night, if at all possible.

If it were for signing up for free obama care with covered california and there were issues with the computers the state would just extend the deadline a few days. Being it is firearms and the 2A community that will never happen.

I don't get it. I thought at pickup all you're doing is verifying serial numbers, signing some papers and failing the safety demonstration like me? Is there computer work involved? I never noticed...

Firearms have to be "delivered" through DES.
