until we get through all the crap HPD is making us do with appointments, can the MODS pin this to the top?Done.
Figure it would be helpful if a thread posting just cancellation appointments got started, instead of having them on the thread that's convoluted with questions, and comments (just hit notify on the thread and you get alerts on new posts) easier then checking the website every 5min.
Should make sure what kind of appointment was cancelled i.e permit to aquire/registration.

Quick question. How many members and lurkers on 2AHawaii have took 5 minutes today to send a group email to all city council members, the mayor, and the govenor to voice your complaints about how your Constitutionally guaranteed RIGHTS are being violated?
I would suggest sending an email every day until it is remedied.
Don't even have to write anything new. Just keep sending it everyday.
Ok, I just completed my long gun renewal today (July 10). I made a July 24 appointment for 9am a while back not knowing that it was not necessary for those just picking up their permits.
So I just canceled the July 24 appointment to acquire firearms (3 guns or less 10 minute appointment). The appointment is for 9am.

Was able to get an appointment for long gun on August 3 at 9:30. But will not be able to register any firearms as there are no available appointments to do so. So what's the use of having the permit if you can't register the firearms that you purchase?
Link does not work:
"The page that you are looking for is no longer available."
Heads up as of 7/19 8:56p.m just checked reg there's a handful that opened up for July 22 I would snag one but I take my car in for
a repair.

Tried to swap an appointment with XL Iced Coffee. I canceled mine first, he got it but said it was unavailable when he tried to finalize. Did that happen to anybody else?


But if someone cancels (at an agreed upon time), then you register that cancelled spot immediately after - you good right?
That's pretty much how it's been going down. You both get on the site at the same time. It's not 100 %. Some guys got scooped even when they was on the sight same time.
But if someone cancels (at an agreed upon time), then you register that cancelled spot immediately after - you good right?Yes I suppose it would work like that? But someone else could get the appointment if they are trying at the same time as the person cancels.
They also mentioned that they are considering penalties for people who make multiple appointments and do not keep them. They have been getting a lot of complaints from people about the difficulties to even get an appointment. So they are monitoring cancelations and no shows to see if there are people who are making appointments just to make them and bog down the system.
Which could be a good thing.
Gun haters might be just trying to prevent others from getting a permit by taking all the appointments.
Don’t know just passing on the information that I was told by HPD.
Stay Safe!
The problem with that "investigative plan" is it's too easy to make bogus email accounts and VPNs. There's also the free WiFi hotspots and Internet stations people can use for free (libraries, etc). If someone wants to be anonymous online to avoid being caught creating appointments with no intention of using them, it's not that difficult.You might be right? But that’s what they said today when I talked to them.
Just got off the phone with HPD and they stated that any changes to an appointment like swapping? Both parties need to be on site to verify the appointment swap. So even if you agree with another party here on 2A both individuals need to still make it to the station to do any swapping of times for permits or registration.One... I don't believe anything they say. They make up their own rules as they go. I need go no further than how they measure barrels or try to make people weld magazines to lowers for AR pistols even though there is no such rule.
This shit is F’d up!
The system used to show your cancelled spot immediately, but I tried to give my brother in law my appt last week, cancelled at 3 am, but nothing showed up.
Damn I guess we gotta be posting when we swap
Was in the middle of swap and someone swooped it.
So last night 08/24/2020 at 7:39pm, I was the one who cancelled the permit to acquire appt on Sept 3rd 1pm. Was meant for 6716J but I knew cancelling the appt comes with the risk of anyone whose also looking for appt online and the fastest to click "submit" after filling the infos is bound to get it... With it, it's safe to say that the scheduling we made so far might be, at the time of two person swapping schedule and we were fast enough and lucky to get the released schedule. Until there is an abundance of open schedule, This is how it's going to be In these times when scheduling an appt is hard to come by. :shaka:
I tried to cancel an appointment the day of, and give it to a friend. The system wouldn't let me. Maybe there's a cutoff if your too close to your appointment???? I don't know these fakas.
I think we should take in to consideration some factors of "why" like slow internet,no internet,hanging,freezing,etc just maybe coz I had no problem cancelling mine last night.
Also a Newbie like me here, cancelled last night his appt for today, was meant for me and I got it.
No not really. It said I could no longer cancell the appointment. It was to register 3 firearms or less.
GUIDE TO PICK/SWAP SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT TO ACQUIRE AND GUN REGISTRATION
Permit to acquire Days to wait Dates you can pick up permit (10 days valid to use your permit)
example date after applying (6 days valid to pick up) Appt to Register should be:
25-Aug +14 9-Sep -------------------------------- Sep 9 to Sep 18
10-Sep -------------------------------- Sep 10 to Sep 19
11-Sep -------------------------------- Sep 11 to Sep 20
12-Sep -------------------------------- Sep 12 to Sep 21
13-Sep -------------------------------- Sep 13 to Sep 22
14-Sep -------------------------------- Sep 14 to Sep 23
Note:
Line 1: I use Aug 25th as an example schedule date for Permit to acquire 3 guns or less from this, you can adjust and pattern your Appt for permit to acquire to a compatible Appt to register.
Line 2: Mandatory waiting time before issuing your approved permit to acquire w/c is 14 days.
Line 3: After 14 days waiting period you have 6 days to pick up your approved permit. Dates are shown when to pick up your permit. If you don't pick up your permit within 6 days, it will be voided, and you go back to hunting an Appt for permit to acquire.
Line 4: Dates that your permit is valid to use. These dates should also be your Appt to register. You pick up your permit on a day in Line 3, then the compatible Appt to register should be on Line 4.
*** This is just a guide I made to share with you to know if you have the right match of your Appt for permit to acquire with your Appt to register.
*** With this please don't hog most appointments.
***Pls don’t waste the Appt for permit to acquire schedule if you will not have the right Appt to register schedule. Swap it with someone with compatible schedules.
***Pls don’t waste the Appt to register schedule if your permit to acquire is going to be expired at the time to register your guns.
*** It's up to you to follow or not. Let me know if it's not accurate. Thank you if you learn something from this. Let's help one another. :shaka: :shaka: :shaka:
I have a August 27th early afternoon permit to acquire 3 guns appt to swap for Sep/Oct appt. LMK. Mahalo! :shaka: :shaka: :shaka:
This is a stupid system IMHO! Okay I get the appointment deal when applying for the permit and the 14 day waiting period. But the 2nd appointment is absolutely moronic! Registration should be immediate upon possession from the GS.
(No offense to you.) Thank you for taking the time to write all of this out.
The officer I spoke to said you can keep the gun in your safe until your registration appointment. (insane) because it could be up to 90 days. He said something about the Governor making some sort of acceptance for COVID-19.
Sad when the people enforcing the laws have “Blind Compliance” and they don’t see the stupidity.
The Police are the very ones that should be objecting to having to make a Registration appointment. They should only allow people who already have the gun/approval to purchase make an appointment when they pick up the permit!
Sorry just had to rant! :shake:
Am I the crazy one? :-\
Anyone know what time HPD usually posts up appointments 90 days out?From my experience on the weekends, they release one appointment every 10 minutes on the :00, :10, :20, :30 etc... for 90ish days in the future. I believe if someone takes a 30 minute slot, no appointment released for 30 minutes. I have only looked on weekends, can't look during the week because of work.
What’s the earliest we can pick up permits? Gotta work around this virtual school schedule for the children ya know?!?!

Looking for a permit to acquire within the month of September have a registration on oct 7 to trade
My backorder still hasn't come in, so I need to push my appointments. I have:
Sep 10, 1:30pm - Permit to Acquire (Joint Married Couples)
Sep 10, 1pm - Registration (3 guns or less)
Sep 25, 1:10pm - Permit to Acquire (3 guns or less)
Sep 25, 1:40pm - Registration (3 guns or less)
Looking to trade any of above for Permit to Acquire (3 guns or less) anytime Sep 28 - Oct 30. Whatever is left, I will cancel 1-2 days out. :shaka:
ONCE AGAIN, forgot to mention. This is for REGISTRATION OF 3 firearms.
FYI, both parties need to be present if transferring appts. Apparently people have really been selling their appointments and you can’t just take someone else’s appt without them being present.

Thanks for the heads up. Can take chances with canceling and snatching online. I have a way to fill out form real fast. Person trading can send me their info and I'll do both swaps. I'll start with tomorrows reg to you so if it goes bad, you will lose nothing. Your existing appt will still stand. Only I lose.
Once again I have a register 3 or less for tomorrow Sept 23 at 10:50am. will trade for an acquire appt this or next month.
I'm going to cancel a 10:20 appointment today, permit to acquire 3 or less. Watch for it if needed

Looks like there are new after hours slots can book up to 7 days out. I would be on the look out for those to grab if u want one 7 days out.
Saw that as well. Any idea on the hours and days?

I just got a PTA from someone who cancelled theirs and they immediately put my info in and was able to grab that same PTA.
After 2:30AM seems to work okay using the "cancel as me/reclaim as someone else" method.
I saw a Feb 22 PTA appointment appear at 2:18AM, and it was gone in seconds. Must be others up with the owls swapping reservations besides me.
I had 2 browser windows open -- one to cancel, and one to view available appointments. Canceled, refreshed available appointments 3 times to see the one I canceled, then immediately clicked it to keep anyone else from snagging it.
IMO, trying to coordinate with another person to take your appointment is risky. Just give the appointment "giver" your info, so only one person has to be ready to take the cancelled reservation. If you are just a little slow, you may miss it. Three to five seconds is all it seems to take for an appointment to vanish.
I would not be surprised if there are automated BOTs refreshing the reservation page every 5 seconds and filling out the appointment forms when they find one. There are so few fields to fill in, it would not be difficult to set up. I've done this in the past to "scrape" information from form-driven webpages on a recurring basis so I wouldn't have to do it manually.
Anyway, if you snooze, you lose. Omni proved that yesterday by canceling an appointment he meant to reserve for me. **POOF!** Gone in seconds. :wtf:
"then immediately clicked it to keep anyone else from snagging it" FYI clicking it does nothing until you finish the forum. Doesn't reserve it, someone can finish the form before you and get it.
BTW, if the person with the appointment doesn't care about the reservation they are giving away (not swapping with another person for a different date), they could just forward the notification email to the intended "new owner" of the appointment. Then THEY can stay up late, use the email's cancel link to free up the appointment, and do the re-reservation themselves.
The burden doesn't have to be on the person giving the appointment reservation away.
Looking for Feb 25th or later appointment. Don't have much to offer other than a may 13th appointment.
You really should specify the type of appointment.
If anyone has an appointment available ASAP let me know, willing to compensate thanks.

I have one March Registration and two April Aquire dates. Will be cancelling soon
I have two April Aquire dates. let me know if you want it
Shit never thought about that. That's a good idea. Then no hard feelings for any swaps too. You both email each other the reservation and it's up to your own self to redo it. Then if you miss and one succeeds. Less anger cause you can only blame yourself.
I have an appointment to register 3 or less on 2/24/21 that i'm not going to use. :shaka: 10AMPm sent!
I have heard of someone is allegedly selling appointments. Anyone else hear these rumors?
Easy enough to test my theory. I'll jump on the next appointment I see, then see if it still shows in the list. If not, then the record was locked for editing. Nobody can steal it at that point. First one to get the lock gets to submit the request.
***EDIT***
Okay, I was wrong. I was able to select and bring up the form for the same reservation request in two windows. Then, someone else was able to submit the form while I was still in edit mode. The appointment vanished from the list without me making the reservation.
Not a good way to setup a reservation system with people vying for the same dates/times. I can see how BOTs would have a definite advantage -- not just in finding, but also in submitting and confirming reservations faster than people can.
All I can say is: TYPE FAST!! :shake:

If we haven't met (yet, lol) PM me with your contact # and I'll let you know when I'm cancelling the appointment.
Either way, I will work with you to find a mutually agreed upon time but I'm not staying up late to accommodate you, just so you know.

I have a permit to acquire for tomorow at 1105. Want to trade for a reg appt 2 weeks from tomorrowI don’t have an appointment to trade but would really appreciate your time slot if you’re not going to use it and can’t find a trade
Is there a certain time of day that they post new time slots?
It appears they make new appointments available weekdays between normal working hours at 10 minute intervals. The times they become available coincide with the appointment times: 8:00AM appointments will post at 8:00am, 8:10AM will appear at 8:10AM, etc. The dates will be 90 days in the future -- the maximum future date they offer.Due to the 90 days in the future, availability is from Tuesday (Monday appointments) thru Saturday.
Does anyone know why HPD changed it so people can no longer cancel their appointments? That basically means if and when we even score an appointment it will only be the ones way far down the line now...
When did that change take place?
Maybe they got tired of people hoarding the appointments or selling them? I'm guessing if people want to swap now, they will have to go down and meet in person to give their appointment away to someone else now. That's sucks.
The Handgun I’m buying tomorrow will sit at the shop minimum 90 days then. And that’s IF I can even get an appointment any time soon.
I hope your shop doesn't charge fees. I see a bunch of really pissed off shop owners and customers already.
Went to HPD today to pass on an appointment to a friend and I decided to ask what happened. So from what one of them heard. (Not 100% certain), might have been an IT upgrade error. Said they did an upgrade that was supposed to improve the system but it deleted the cancel button. So they are working on fixing it. Cross our fingers guys!

Not sure what updates they could even do. It's a button to either allow or deny ability to cancel appointments. You can even set a timeframe.
You had us at "Not sure." The rest is noise.
Not really. The not sure part was because there is nothing with 100% certainty. I logged into the same "program's" backend and checked the settings.
Update. So I called and asked in general. Talked to the supervisor. It was NOT a fluke. This is the new system. Due to people selling appointments, now people need to call in to cancel appointments. So the days of getting appointments at random times and late nights is over. Must look while someone is there and canceling it from HPD themselves.
Thanks for the update and confirming that. I was highly doubtful it was an accident. Or an update unless they updated the mouse to click a new setting :rofl:
While I am glad this will stop the people selling I am upset that there is now a 90 day minimum wait time and I have to be psychic and see the future. I have a feeling hpd is going to get tired of getting plenty calls and find a new way of doing this. This will only make it worse as now I have to book an appointment every other week just so I know I have one incase I purchase something. Then call every other week to cancel. Quite a stupid system. Or worse they will have plenty no-shows.
Glad the threads you comment on are never just about you.
Works better than talking in the 3rd person.
PTA appointment 4/23 at 1020. LMK if you want or maybe trade. Looks like the only way to transfer is to meet up at hpd, and I don’t mind doing that. PM me.
:shaka:
Do you need to actually meet someone at HPD to trade or transfer appointments? Still not able to cancel appointments. Looks like need to wait 90 days for new appointments or registrations???

I cancelled my appt to reg. I had to call them and I asked when will this be made available? He didn't know since they just started to do it.
But I did get a confirmation email to cancel, so maybe once that email is received, the spot opens?
Got my appointment reminder and the "Change/Cancel" button is there and it is also there on a future appointment. It is when you click on the "Change/Cancel" button and the Departments web page opens, the "Cancel" option is not available.
The "Change" button is available. Can someone test if they select the "Change" button. If done on off times and no appointment is currently available, will that cancel the appointment and make it available?
Guess they have alot of time to take cancellation phone calls and then taking the time to go into the system to do the actual cancellation. Glad that a confirmation email is sent, so you will not be on record for a no show.
I have a registration appointment, three guns or less on Friday, April 23, 9:50 am that I won't be using. I will be checking in at HPD, about 8:30 that morning for PTA. If you can meet me before I enter for Covid screening I will transfer the registration appointment to you for $5000.00 + tax, or if you agree to never call a magazine a clip, you can have it for free. If no takers by 5:30 tomorrow morning, I am going to call HPD to cancel.
5000$ sounds like a good price, should take that deal minus the tax.Okay, no tax.
Okay, no tax.:stopjack: :D

Trying my luck to see if someone has a PTA earlier than mid July to trade. I have late July and just found out some friends would be in town before the permit comes in. lmk, thanks!

Was able to reserve a 3 gun or less PTA appointment, Monday, Sept 27, at 11:00AM.
He's planning a mainland vacation in October, so that date is going to be cutting it close after the 2 week wait. He's not set his vacation dates yet, but Oct 11 really cuts into the month.
If anyone has an earlier date booked and is willing to swap, please PM me.
