Well I sent a rifle to New Mexico standard mail. Priority takes two days.. so it arrived in two days. Maybe a fluke.. Well I mailed one to Illinois the same way standard mail... it gets there today the same way.. in 2 days... just a little info that they don't have to go priority. And you will save a bundle in shipping.

    A mere 100 years or so, the Postal service consisted of horses,, riders who were brave men, who rode through the elements, hostile indians and seldom traveled lands, and accomplished the almost impossible, delivering the Mail from St. Louis to California in just 7 days. Now a days with Airplanes, trucks, a couple hundred thousand, handlers, computer and Zip code sorters, it only takes 14 days.

    Had a package shipped from a little less than 100 miles away on Monday morning and it is just now in Tampa,, 65 miles further south from us. Now it has to double back to get here..[xx(][xx(]

    I was on their website trying to ship something to Estonia, the web site would not let me move forward, it was stating that my phone# was invalid, it was not.

    I went to the help chat, they stated it is a know issue, WTH, if it is a know issue why not fix it, no wonder they are in a mess they are. I will ship it FedEx Monday [:D]

    What a Joke. Having a fire arm sent to my FFL. Just got the Notice come pick it up at the post Office.

    My FFL will not go pick it up.

    I see this as a lost cause.[V][V][V][V][V][V][V][V][V][V][V][V][V][V][V]

    Have things changed or is my dealer just getting the run around ?
    He went to mail the little PP I sold here on GunBroker and the local post office would not ship it. He's just getting started and I'm trying to help him out all I can. Ups wanted a freaking 117 bucks but FedEx did it for 38 at a drop off location. Anyway I found where it says a dealer can ship a handgun though the USPS but wanted to make sure I did not miss anything.

    quote:We attempted to deliver your item at 9:45 am on September 7, 2018 in DEXTER, OR 97431 and a notice was left because no secure delivery location was available. You may arrange redelivery by using the Schedule a Redelivery feature on this page or may pick up the item at the Post Office indicated on the notice beginning September 8, 2018. If this item is unclaimed by September 22, 2018 then it will be returned to sender.


    Bull Been sitting here all Morning they made no Attempt. Have not checked my Mailbox yet but will bet there is no Note. That will not be delivered till the regular mail gets here. By then its to late to pick up and they are not open on the 8th. So would not be able to pick it up till the 15th cause of work.

    Ok this is the last time I vent about these guys. I have had guns lost. Scopes busted. And now a new one. I bought a scope off the auction ( one that was delivered in a box that was crushed thank god the scope was ok) I messed up and sent the guy 5 dollars not enough.
    I sent a check to him 4 weeks ago and guess what???????????? today I get a email saying he never got it. I called my bank and it was never cashed. Another letter lost to the post office. Just once I would like to make a transaction sending through the mail and it get there on time in a good condition and I get the Item back in the same good condition. I am thinking it is being done at my local post office the post master hates guns and knows I own them. I guess I can drive 20 miles to the big city and start sending from there but then that does not work on my end. O well there is always fed ex.

    What happened to "neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom" or whatever it is? Haven't had mail delivered since last Friday. Mailman came at 6PM today. I remember having delivery when we had twice the snowfall we had Friday night. Guess everything is pussified these days.[}:)]

    1. They couldn't cash my USPS money order because there was no supervisor there. They said come back tomorrow.

    2. Those priority boxes have a warning that it's against federal law to use them for other than their intended purpose.

    3. I'm kinda booked up til Monday, I hope the feedback Nazi don't get me. Sellers who want to be lawyers take note!

    I did but sometimes they do not have the package there, the driver takes it out with her and would not be there till she gets back from a day of mail delivery.

    The box was small enough that it would have fit in my mail box.

    It's a real shame but the USPS has way too many employees and lose $$$$$ every year. If the problem was addressed they would riot in the streets[:(!]

    Hell, I'm happy when they just get the right address. When they leave a notice, I go down to the post office before the driver gets back there, and surprise!, my package is there.

    I get all the other companies that when they do not contract out to the post office for the final drop they deliver right to my door.

    Just yesterday had OnTrack drop a package off when I got home. One that I did not know when it was coming.

    The post office Like I said from time to time will keep the box in the truck. The Notice this time was not in the Box when I checked But was there later in the day to late to pick up.

    Lucky for me I was watching the tracking and this time the post office actually updated it. But lately they have not been updating. I have a post on that too.
