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.

We ship several guns every week and generally they all go UPS !
However about a month or so before Xmas 2011 we sent a very nice Weatherby Mark V West German gun to a fellow in the Dakota's . I had packed the gun well and UPS found a way to snap the stock in half at the wrist . They made good on the claim but it took 2 months . We paid the person we sold the gun for and the person buying the rifle . They sent the remains back to us and we had to wait for the refund . After the refund they left the remains with us and we ended up making about $2000 above and beyond !
As to USPS Priority Mail , a couple years ago I sent a cashiers check in a Priority envelope with a tracking number to a dealer in Anchorage Alaska and it took no less then 3 weeks for him to recieve it and the ability to track it showed me virtually NOTHING !
I sent a rifle to New York state from Virginia a couple years ago via UPS and of course it had a tracking number . That rifle made the rounds trips back and forth from VA to NY before it finally was delivered . My local driver was the main reason that one got straightened out . I was certain until it was delivered that some less then desirable had pinched it in the Laurel facility .
