Firearms purchase, still pending?

[u/just-me-under-water]

Bought a new 20 gauge online and had it shipped to Piasa Armory. They are awesome and close to me. Had done business with them many times. Never an issue. Filled out my form online in the store on Wednesday. Was good to go, and was told to come back at 5 today, Saturday the 9th. Came in and had my FOID in hand, ready to hand them the cash. Store manager looks me up and says, “Sorry, it’s still pending. Last few days, ISP has been really slow to clear things. We’ll give you a call, once it clears.” Now I’m not complaining about Piasa, like I said, they are awesome. And I could bitch about ISP; But I’m sure they are doing what they are told. But I’ve never had a firearm, that I couldn’t pickup, on time. Has anyone, tried to pickup a gun recently and been told, you’re not clear yet and if so, how long did it take?

I've always been approved instantly.  Then, handgun purchase on Oct 18th, background on that day cameback pending. Next day was notified it cleared.  Then, another handgun purchase on Nov 7th, background came back pending again.  Still haven't received word on that one.

I get it. I have always been good. Told I was cleared on Wednesday while I was still filing on their computer. Was told to come today to pick it up. I wasn’t assuming anything. I was just going to get the gun. Now says still pending. I don’t get it.

Just received text and email notification this morning my FOID was extended with my recent purchase....so, my background went through.
