My priming horn disappeared in shipment

[sportster73hp]

I had a truck title sent from out of state to me using usps signature required etc. I received notification no one was home so i went to the post office, told they didn’t have it. Two weeks go by. Returned to post office with tracking numbers from their site . He walks over to a random rack and hands it to me. ???

The only way I will buy from you is personal check or credit card. Scammers lust for money orders.

I f you take my check or credit card in a scam? I have evidence. If you disappear my money order? I have diddley squat and an issuer who could care less about my loss.

More than happy to wait for my check to clear before you ship. My bank and my most used credit cards will charge you back if I can demonstrate you defrauded me. They have already done so in the past.
EG: I live in PA but got charged for a Steinway piano in San Francisco. Guess the piano dealer ate his teeth on that one.

I was the sender on this and agonized thru whole ordeal. One unexpected out come was how little (if at all} FedEX cared. Have done thousands per year with them for 20+ years and the service declined to zero. After the aforementioned fiasco we ceased using them altogether. They could care less and never even contacted us to ask why we stopped.

I, as a buyer/receiver, always ask who the shipping company is prior to purchase now. If it is FedEx, I request another. If they won't do that for me, then I refuse to buy from them.

They are the worst.

Just had an unsettling meeting with manager of a large local bank. He warned that checks on personal and small businesses are now at extreme risk with current scammers. He also advised that checks of any kind should be reserved for paying known businesses. I guess the combination of acct number, routing number and a sample of your signature (to forge) you may lose big time. Happy to be wrong.

A very nice insured .50 T/C Renegade received with a compression and crack at the end of the forearm, appeared well packaged but the box was crush where the damage occurred. FedEx asked for the maker mark, a circular printed stamp, on the box it was shipped in, apparently this tells them the grade box it was shipped in. I sent pictures of the maker mark and damage to the box and gun. They claimed it was shipped in improper grade box and refused the claim. Let me tell you friend, that gun was well packaged, FedEx was full of crap, it took some effort to produce that damage.

Not the end of this saga, the shop had another Renegade they claimed was is identical condition, maybe better. They shipped it and I bought the damaged gun at a reduced price. The replacement I received was not nearly in as good a condition, the barrel was okay, not great, the rear sight was an incorrect replacement, the trigger guard and buttplate finishes worn bare and with some rust, the stock had signs of significant use and the barrel had some surface rust but it arrived undamaged via FedEx I similar packaging. Not one of my better online shopping experiences. The risk of internet buying, I threw up my arms and accepted getting screwed.
