Hi all
I wanted to post this alert to let everyone know not to ship firearms using the USPS. If you buy at auction or from GB, GI, PB, GA or any other venue be advised not to use USPS to ship your stuff.
The USPS tracking system simply does not work properly and transit and delivery is becoming a crap shoot at best. Here are just two examples. I sent USPS Money Orders from Florida to Pa 2-day priority mail. The package disappeared for 10 days until it was finally delivered on the 11th day. This after a ton of phone calls and visits to the local post offices on both ends.
I recently won an auction and the piece was shipped USPS Insured from Iowa to Florida. It has not been delivered and is still in transit (whatever that means). Tracers have been initiated but so far nothing has turned up. This package has a tracking number and is insured. I have worked with the USPS Office locally and the sender has also worked with the USPS office where it was mailed. So far it has become mystery meat.
Bottom line, don't use USPS to ship firearms under any circumstances. Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances.
