Paper Tape
 

Robin,

Contact ULINE at 800-295-5510. I believe the tape you want is Model number S-909. Ask for their catalog. They have most anything anybody would ever want for shipping. Cheers, Tom

I'll bet a lot of stuff walks out of the PO in the form of hazardous waste. Nobody notices the trash being taken out.

John,
Whew! I'm so very happy you got your gun back. I know the feeling you got in your stomach because I experienced the same feeling when my 32"DHE 20 was stolen. I have'nt shipped a gun in years because I've found a great guy in PA. where I can drive my gun up to drop it off and then go pick it up when done. But maybe this is a good learning experience for those who ship guns. USPS, registered/receipt, insured. This seems to be the best way? Maybe we have in our membership someone who works for the USPS and can give advice. Years ago when I used Delgrago he said to only use USPS. As much as I hate the govt., this does seem to be the best way to ship.

Daryl,
This was a hell of a learning experience. Not only about shipping and the USPS but how thick the many layers are of just one small part of our govt is.
Robin Lewis asked that I write up a parker pages article on the whole thing and I think I will.
I will do so once things settle down for me with starting my own practice.
I have decided to go it on my own. :)

John,
Good luck with your own practice. Working for yourself is really an eye opener. You'll really see how Uncle Sam screws us but you'll have the best boss in the world. Get as many cash patients as you can. You'll see what I mean.
Daryl

John, good news to hear. I think by following up was the key, as i'm afraid that not letting them know you are serious let's to much time pass.Craig

Doc Truitt, I am so very glad this whole ordeal had a happy ending. I wish you the best of luck in your new practice.

Dr. John, An old saying we had in the military,"Don'y Ever Give Up". It pays in the long run. Very happy you got it back. Cheers, Tom
