Gary,
I was literally just clicking on this thread as you were calling me. As per our discussion, get it to me asap and i will see what i can do. At this point, every day is precious time. |
Brian thanks a million ! and I am sure I speak for everybody that is trying to get this youth shoot off the ground, As I mentioned in our telephone conversation I will get it out ASAP. I was floored when I saw the gun. The UPS man made a comment that they sure don't pack them like you do, should have not let him go till I opened it but the package did not look damaged, Brian I am sure I speak for everybody Thank You! Gary

Ughhh. Thanks Brian.

Wow Gary, we were just talking about this gun. What a shame. If anybody can do anything, Brian can.

Hello everyone, this is Parker Bachelder. This gun was packed by myself personally and done with great care. I have been incurring frequent damages from UPS lately.
Gary, please contact me in regards to the repair. We have full capabilities to complete an undetectable repair. Thank you, Parker |
Guys, I hate to say it but I have had a nice DHE damaged and it appeared to be slammed down to do it. It was properly packaged, almost two weeks late on delivery and it appeared to have been intentionally damaged in the post office. Don't have an answer but honestly believe we get sorry handling because it is obviously a gun being shipped at times. Damn shame.

Al, If it is so obvious, then there is a problem. Did you write “Gun” on the side of it or something?
Never put anything on a package or in an address to even suggest the contents may be a firearm. If a gun breaks down, ship it broken down and well wrapped & padded. An assembled gun is just asking to be broken (which is what happened to this trojan by the way). Boxes inside of boxes are a good idea too. One for barrel, one for back half and then both inside of one larger box. Taking the proper precausions will nearly always avoid damage from handling. Short of being run over by a truck or getting plain lost, you will be good. Some would be surprised the condition that some guns show up to me as shipped from their owners. I have, more than once, had to call an owner and say “good thing we were replacing the stock anyway, because it is broken“. Understandably, an individual may not have the materials on hand to pack something this well regularly like a business would (or should). But then again, there are many individuals that take the time to build wooded boxes to ship their guns. It all just boils down to how much you care about the gun you are shipping and it not getting damaged. |
Here is a box I buy. Excellent box in my opinion. Craig

I’ve shipped quite a few at this point - always broken down in corrugated of some type and not had an issue. |
