As my ATF is currently on Medical Leave of Absence I have been on the prowl looking for new adventures more than usual. So I have contacted and seen some providers that are on Eccie AND p411 and this has worked really well, not one single NCNS.
However, as the selection on p411 is limited (and confusing as not all providers listed under San Antonio are actually in the area) I have been contacting Eccie-only providers and agencies and generally got screened very quickly (sometimes REALLY quickly) however with the last 3 attempts to get to the action I had an amazing 100% NCNS rate. I am already wondering whether I am sending bad vibes through my phone making providers drop their phone in the toilet or that destroy their batteries or cause their crazy sister to visit suddenly or....you get the point.
So I am wondering whether this a pattern that Eccie-only providers/agencies are generally less reliable/organized (the reviews unfortunately frequently don't address the TCB aspect - or they may whitewash it), whether they don't believe their own screening or whether they have so many customers that they can just ignore a few.
I am not going to name anybody to not cause the usual shitstorm and this also not going to be very productive. In the future I am obviously only going to contact providers who are on Eccie AND p411 as I have better things to do than hanging around in a Starbucks waiting for a text that never comes. Any input or suggestion is appreciated from providers or hobbyists.
