Just got a range bag (for unmentionables) with prompt service & no issues.
So, is UPS messing with vendors shipping firearms?
I only use my debit card in person at the supermarket, the pharmacy, and the MAC machine.debit cards cut out much of the banks responsibility and may be a big plus for scammers
This is a rural area. It is not unusual for UPS to hand off to USPS. Sometimes it's on the brown truck. Sometimes it's on the white truck.I don't understand why my pistol was initially shipped by Midway using UPS and then transferred to USPS once it arrived in my State. This particular pistol arrived in a crushed box. Even the Uberti box looked like manure but there was no damage to the pistol. I blame UPS and USPS for mishandling boxes that sometimes arrive looking like they were used for soccer practice.
I have also had good luck complaining to the Better Business Bureau located in the community where the company is headquartered.If you received something you didn't order, you are not obligated to return the item.
Before I retired, there were a lot of companies like this that gave you the run around, either verbally, or via internet.
Fortunately, our county library had a full updated edition of the Thomas Catalog. I seem to recall it took up around 30' of shelf space.
The Thomas Catalog has the name and contact info for the company president, vice president, CEO, Marketing, etc. of every company in the USA. Phone numbers not listed on company sites, and not generally available to the public. Some are the actual home phones of the executives.
I can tell you when you start calling the big shots on their private lines, you get fast results. They want to know how you got their number, first off. Never tell them. They hate the loss of control, and quickly figure out someone at a lower level failed in what they were supposed to be doing. Explain what has happened, being polite. It has never taken more than two calls to get things squared away. Airlines screwed up so often I had the exec's on speed dial, and was upgraded to first class pretty regularly get me to shut up.
It's called Smartpost. USPS delivers the last mile for UPS and FedEx. They used to do it for Amazon before Amazon started to do it all themselves.I don't understand why my pistol was initially shipped by Midway using UPS and then transferred to USPS once it arrived in my State.

They still deliver Amazon stuff in places that Amazon doesn’t have their own, which includes where I live.It's called Smartpost. USPS delivers the last mile for UPS and FedEx. They used to do it for Amazon before Amazon started to do it all themselves.
