I'll repeat the first 2 paragraphs here for background, first one was posted on Tuesday Jan 5
So I just bought a cool double gun from a gent in the upper midwest and he shipped it on Monday Jan 4 by REGISTERED MAIL. If you're not familiar with Registered Mail, it's held in high security/locked cages etc and every person that handles the package must "sign" for it. From what I understand it can't be tracked as typical and kind of goes into limbo until delivered. Let's see how long it takes getting to PA.
UPDATE on Jan 8
Well, wonder of wonders, the gun was scanned twice on Monday and Tuesday as it traveled through two places in the north midwest and again this morning at about 1-am in Philadelphia. Getting close and way atypically fast for Registered Mail.
LAST UPDATE on Saturday Jan 9
Just a note that the gun was delivered this morning. 5 days in transit; that's significantly shorter than many had reported of their experiences with Registered Mail and with tracking scans along the way.
