I will find out tomorrow. Now here is the deal, who will be responsible for losing it? I have been paid. The buyer doesn't have the pistol. My FFL dealer was paid to mail did not put insurance on the gun. He was paid well to ship it with insurance. IN fact overpaid. Who is going to eat the cost .. Me or the FFL? The gun was NOT insured.

It can take WEEKS to get a pakage in the mail.
On the second question. If the FFL was paid to ship it insured and he did not; he owes for the gun IMO.
Did he say he would? I would want to know all the details of
his service. I would like to say when you paid him to mail
he assumes all responcibility, but we shall see. Let us know
what happens.[:(]
If the FFL took a weapon to ship AND WAS PAID TO DO SO, I feel like it's his responsibility.

If a man told me he would mail a gun and didn't, then told me again he would mail the gun and didn't, then he told me the gun was "lost in the mail", I'd be just a little bit suspicious.

I hope you have it in writing that you wanted it insured, otherwise it is your word against his.

Only 9 days for parcel post? I would hold out until Tuesday before I got wound up.

Not exactly, The FFL has mailed pistols before for me Priority ( next day ) and insured them. I payed him to do the same. By the way it was less than a dollar to go parcel post. I called the post office today and found out NO insurance is on the gun. FFL kept the extra money for the insurance. That is OK if gun is lost I know the Judge....
If this was UPS or FED-X you have online tracking. How can the package disappear. Insured or not isn't UPS or Fed-X responsible for the value if they lose the package?
Don't know about them.. It was mailed USPS

There you go. That might go a long way if push comes to shove.

Sounds to me as if the FFL decided to self-insure on this one.
If the buyer's FFL didn't receive the gun--you did not deliver. Transfer of ownership occurs when the buyer passes the NCIS screening--until then you still own the gun.
My feeling is that your FFL is liable for not insuring the gun if you paid him to do so, but that's between you and that FFL.
You should reimburse the buyer regardless of what happens between you and your FFL.
On the brighter side, I will bet that your gun is going to turn up![8D]
Good Luck !!!
