Damaged shipments

Is it just me, are other sellers getting "I like the shotgun/rifle, but it arrived with damage", usually a broken stock. I cannot believe that the carriers drive trucks over the box or throw them around. I know I have well packed and re-inforced the box and still get that claim. Please note, these were shipped by Priority Mail, thank God I fully insured.

    When I was in college a couple of years ago there was a UPS station nearby that employed every student it could get to work for a pittifully low wage, including a lot of my friends. If you knew what happened between the time you drop off a package and when it arrives at its' destination you would get in your car and drive your packages to your customers from now on. Running over them, playing baseball with small ones (my friends were idiots), kicking, you name it, it gets done.

    It's not hard for them to break a stock on a rifle......Hard to believe you would question such a thing happening!

    Hell, I sent two cannon balls to a Buyer just two states away and they arrived broke in half......yes, both of them! Rifle stock is much easier to break!
