392heminut Posted December 20, 2013 Report Posted December 20, 2013 My wife is PISSED! She put loaves of banana bread in those packages that will be bad by the time they get delivered. They won't show up now until after Christmas, and apparently the military post offices in Okinawa shut down from Dec. 25th through Jan. 1st! These packages have already taken longer to get from our post office to Chicago than they normally take to get from here to Okinawa! Gotta say though, it's our fault, it's not like USPS service doesn't go to schit every year at this time.
survivalshop Posted December 20, 2013 Report Posted December 20, 2013 I was told all firearm shipments we next day air , because they have better control over them . That's how I had to send them.

Gotta say though, it's our fault, it's not like USPS service doesn't go to schit every year at this time. That is quite sad. Try to do something good and the losers at USPS screw it up. I wish there was a way for mainstream media to expose the many mistakes USPS makes. But, they won't because the percentage of failure is far less than all those nifty Christmas cards they're trying to get delivered instead. There really isn't any excuse for allowing employees to steal nor holding stuff for a week at a time without explanation. We're being held hostage... well it's the feeling you get isn't it?
planeflyer21 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 My wife is PISSED! She put loaves of banana bread in those packages that will be bad by the time they get delivered. That never stopped us from eating shipments from Mom (ANYONE'S Mom!!)!! Damn glad to have it.
sodbuster Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Posted December 21, 2013 Semi-sweet news - my local PO called me after their Saturday working hours to tell me the 6 P-mags came in and come get them ^-^ She made my day. I need to do something for that nice lady. Now, how to get the first four from those scoundrels........
Dane Armory Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 I was told all firearm shipments we next day air , because they have better control over them . That's how I had to send them.Don't believe this ,just yesterday I receive a UPS box ( 3 Day Select ) with a rifle in it. I know it can by shipped 2nd Day Air also. Why ship it UPS when you can't ship it Fedex , Express or Ground for less money. FACT !
unforgiven Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 Bro got his toys LR20 Pmags.fornicate Como in the neck.
sodbuster Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Posted February 25, 2014 Just an update on this. Looks like I lose $112 from Magman15 (the seller on gunbroker) - as neither gunbroker nor PayPal will do anthing. How would you like to be ripped off over a hundred bucks and have nothing to show for it? I hope what goes around comes around for magman15. If you can, please steer clear of this jerk. Rant over......
DNP Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Damn man, that sucks. Definitely feel for ya and I'm sorry all you can do is spread the word and try to help others steer clear

Yes, that was my mistake - shouldn't have used PayPal. I just like not having a lot of credit card bills coming in but this time it stung me LOL. Good to hear you got your funds back! <thumbsup>
unforgiven Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 I hear ya on C.C. bills.But you do have some protection.Went to a bar got stupid drunk,went to cash station there tried 5 times and no money came out.Next day I saw that money was withdrawn but never came out.Called the bank waited 60 days and money was put back.I don't do that anymore.
shepp Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I'm surprise pay pal let you buy them, that's probably why they fucked you. Those assholes have a policy that you can't use their service to buy over 10 round mags. I tried buying a black dog 50 round 22 mag from botach and they email me telling me that BS. Then botach wanted my credit card info either in email or over the phone and after a few emails back and fourth I ended up telling them to get bent too Edited February 25, 2014 by shepp

Hadn't thought of that - thanks for the info!
greenmist Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Never had a problem with USPS. Always ship firearms with UPS.

They got their packages a little after Christmas and your right Tom, they ate the bread anyway! <lmao>
