Got a call today, my check finally arrived at it's destination over the weekend..... I shipped on 12/3 and it got there 12/26, not bad for priority mail eh? hahaha

Anyway, just happy it finally got there at this point, and he can ship my gun to me now. Afterall, I really needed another 16ga anyway.

Just hope it doesn't go on a similar journey......

Joseph if it were me I would insist that the shipper does not use USPS at this time. IMO you have zero chance of receiving your shipment in a timely manner. As of now even the over night items with guaranteed delivery are not making it on time. Surely some are but not the packages that I have sent. The good news would be that monies are refunded on guaranteed over night deliveries that fail to make it on time. Good luck !

I have asked for UPS or Fedex. Also, asked them to ship with the gun broke down, as gun length boxes have a way of getting damaged. Two different long guns broke at the wrist now, one out bound, the other inbound.

The gun is a 16ga Ithaca NID Grade 2. So, would hate to see it's stock snapped in two like that.

Default The Good at USPS

On a positive note; a guy sent me a check from upstate New York postmarked 12/22 and it got here (Utah) on 12/26 - with Christmas in the middle. All for $.55!
