How many times do you check status???

Checking for a up date every couple of hours seems this waiting game is taking over my spare time. :banghead:

I've been told that it only updates every morning at 6am.. That is also the only time I've seen mine updated.

This, DPS system updates at 6am, no reason to check more than once per day.

:iagree:
I don't know this is a FACT, but in my case, it was true because I got to work every morning and would check about 5:45am and had not changed. I would check again at about 6:15am. and it had changed from 30 minutes before everytime. Towards the end, I would only check after 6:00am. Others on here reported theirs would change at like 2am, but I'm just going on personal experience. Hope this helps.

I checked DPS a little bit after 6am last Saturday and they were still waiting for materials. I checked again a little after 8am and the status changed to everything was received and they were waiting on the background check. Maybe the update time is different on Saturdays.

On my update I had checked around 8AM and it showed nothing and I checked again around 11:30 AM and it showed the update. I checked again at 11:30 just because I had a feeling? if that makes any sense.

I checked at 6:30 this morning and it said background check under review. Checked again this afternoon and it said background complete, manufacturing pending.

This was my post in the MAY thread and my experience.

Just checked and was in MAILED STATUS. That was about 1:30pm. I almost didn't check because I checked this morning about 9:00am and it was still in manufacture pending. Reason being I had read multiple posts that DPS only updates 1x per day at 6am and therefore it is not necessary to check multiple times per day. This is bad info and feel free to check away!!!!
