Uggghhh. Jerks! I hate it when things like that happen.

I feel your pain. I had to order parts in from canada once for an amplifier of mine. Waited like a month to get the part. FINALLY i get the box.. go to the post office with my little pink slip because it wouldn't fit in our mailbox... counter person goes to get it. Then the main post office guy comes back with my smashed up box in hand. EMPTY... and basically was like sorry better luck next time. $30 part I had to buy a second one then wait for it to come from canada again...

I have had plenty of problems with USPS. Seems like the local post office here is lost. But so is UPS and Fedex. If its not the same driver I usually have they have no idea where to go, no idea what the code is to get into the stupid gated community I am in.. etc...

To their credit I shipped my long guns back home to myself via priority mail because both fedex and UPS will not ship from an individual to an individual even though it is legal to ship your own gun to yourself in another state. Went to the post office after spending over an hour boxing them up and probably 3 rolls of tape hoping they would not ask me to prove they were unloaded. Just said I have some firearms to ship and it was no hassle at all :) And I am told they arrived safe and sound. at least the boxes looked ok. Won't know for sure until I get home in 2 months since I am the only one who can legally open the package.

I support the mail!   Imagine life without it. Yes it is not always perfect, but beats the shit out of most of the alternatives.
 Recently brought in a small pistol, Walther 32 from Illinois. As a C&R it had to go UPS or Fed Ex. overnight. Mail is not an option. The cost Fed Ex? $88.00.
Yeah it showed up the next day, but I am not so into instant gratification that I could not have waited a week or so. Only paid  $400 for the piece which makes the shipping
some20% of cost. We can put up with the USPS.

Hahahahaha  :rofl:
Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
