Question about gun shipping charges

[William Davis]

Any insurance is just a bet. I don't insure against any loss I can afford to assume, placing my bet on delivery. Well packed package shipped with USPO signature on delivery no extra insurance is a pretty good bet.

Fed Ex on the other hand has a large number of contractors. Uniform may say Fed Ex, Truck too, They don't all work for Fed Ex, low pay, no company loyalty. Most UPS drivers are employees and theft not a real big issue. Very rare for a USPO employee to steal packages.

It's a choice not everybody see's it the same.

I bought two Pre64 M70's from a fellow from Georgia who shipped them using USPS in the plastic gun guard cases no box!! When they never arrived he got the postal inspector involved and low and behold the guns had made it to Detroit where there was film of an employee putting the cases in the trunk of his car I did manage to get the guns and it all worked out ok but IMHO there was a lot of luck involved with this one.
