I had purchased the 2 guns and paid to have them insured and confirmed. The seller had insurance in his name. 30 days went by with no show and several phone calls later he refunded my money. He was brokering guns for a widow and didn't want to refund me because he had already paid off the widow and money would be out of his pocket until insuranve paid him. I also had a gun damaged in shipping with the USPS, it was also insured. Dealing with the insurance side of the USPS is a real bad deal. By the time you jump threw thier hoops you will look for a new shipper. UPS has worked flawlessly for me. I don't like sounding like a negative Ned but good luck. Dave

We just received some parts that were shipped a month ago. Post office had no explanation. So do not lose hope. Sooner or later they will probably find it. And, you wonder why they lose money ever year?

John,
I would definetely report the lost gun serial numbers to the ATF. I am pretty sure you did not need a FFL to send a gun for repairs (no transfer of ownership). Think positive, I hope your package shows up soon! |

John,
I think that your gun will eventually surface. You are dealing with the US Postal system with all its flaws. Don't give up! Mark

Larry Angus is correct. The gun was shipped for repairs not a transfer of ownership so it did not need to go to or from a FFL holder.
Insurance or no insurance, it is a firearm and this situation should be handled responsibly. You don't want your gun used in the commission of a crime. Get ATF involved. |

Anyway... How long has it been since your package was shipped with the postal service? I have had some shipments take a while. Up to 2 weeks for Parcel post and even up to a week or more for Priority. Their tracking is not the best. The only loss I have had was that I shipped some parts to someone and some of the parts got lost. The pakage opened somehow. Half of the shipment got delivered. It was insured. I filled out a form and I has the money within 30 days. No issues on that part. I really do hope that your gun eventually shows up.

Hang in there John. Go through the USPS channels and get the postal inspectors involved, which they may already be since it is a firearm. I shipped a gun to Dewey Vicknair one time that took a couple weeks.

We can't expect a lot from the USPS... they're going broke and we might see it all go privatized. I wonder if the USPS will ever get better? The internet e-mails are deeply affecting the USPS but I wonder why they haven't made adjustments accordingly?
