Two broken, both were shipped together, one in a hard case, but it got cracked. Bad packing both times.
A Parker shipped broken down, in a hard case. The barrels moved back in the case and the lug hit the front of the pistol grip putting a couple of dings in it. I have never had anything I have shipped get hurt.

Hmmm...
Now, Mills, was that an intended pun? You guys have me worried. I sent a check to Morphy's on Monday via 2-Day Priority with the Postal Service. I've checked the tracking and it does not show up at all.

I sent out a Priority letter on Monday w/tracking. The receipt said delivery date of Friday. So 5 days to get from TN to PA priority mail. I haven't checked the tracking on it.

Ha Garry!
A friend got one of those messages from Amazon that her package was delivered along with a picture of the package on her porch. Problem was it was not her porch |

currently I am waiting for a large format camera lens that the USPS tracking still says will be delivered Monday June 1 - it arrived at the seller's regional distribution center and seems to have sat there for 6 days, now it has been at our regional distribution center for 2 days like I said before - millions of packages get delivered just fine- we remember the lost and damaged

I don't think it matters much who the carrier is; I dropped off two Amazon returns at the UPS store on May 26. Nine days later one shows as delivered, the other still shows as in transit.
I ordered a gift for my wife via overnight FedEx; it was to be delivered Christmas Eve. Had it shipped to the office because I knew she'd know what it was, and specifically went in that day just to get the package. Around 10:00 or so I tracked it and FedEx said "delivery attempted, business closed". NOT TRUE! They did not attempt, and we were not closed. I had to go to the airport and retrieve it, and if you don't think THAT was fun...! I will say some very nice FedEx employees helped me find it.

I was having my Dickson 28 gauge returned to me from some work Jack Rowe did on it. This was back when I was still working in the Provost's Office at the University. The UPS guy, knowing I was at work and not at home, delivered the gun to my office. My assistant at the time was a retired Army colonel and he knew exactly what was in the package...and that it violated University and Board policies. Fortunately, he could keep his mouth shut. I was able to sneak the box out unobserved. Life in a small town(!), where the UPS guy knows you...where you live and work. This was back in the early 2000s. I can only imagine the demonstrations the same thing would inspire in my faculty colleagues today. Try being a gun owner and hunter in a university of "open minded" PhDs.

At 11:30 am today I received a USPS package in Orefield, PA that shipped from Oracle, AZ on Monday, June 01. It contained a nice Redhead Elliot case that was expertly packaged. Excellent transaction and good service by USPS. Wish every shipment went this smoothly. Thank you Tim Thomas!
