About done with both USPS and Fedex. USPS box rent went up $40 in day to $160/year for same cra=py service. And Fedex raised rates and fees to unreasonable levels and provides near month long delivery times. With diesel pushing near $5/gal i think things will get worse. Now like our northern neigbors we may soon be forbidden to complain.
 
In December I bought a gun on Gunbroker. The day after I was notified of the auction results I sent the payment, a USPS money order, mailed via UPS Store. Two days later I got a confirmation from UPS saying it was delivered. I waited several weeks for the rifle to arrive at my FFL but no dice. I contacted the dealer and he said he never received the payment. An inquiry to UPS revealed they had "dropped it" on the porch. Seeing as this was a high volume gun shop and nothing gets "dropped" on the porch but instead comes into the building tells me it was delivered to the wrong place. UPS refused to do anything and got a little snippy with me. The post office will not let you even file a claim until after 30 days just in case the money order miraculously appears. Then once you file a claim it's another 30 days till your reimbursed, providing someone hasn't cashed your money order fraudulently. Thank heavens that the dealer understood what was going on and held the rifle for me through the entire process.
Whatever happened wth this saga? And, WHY would you send a po money order through ups?!? The PO has tracking and does a good job. Send it priority mail. Surely cheaper than worthless ups just messing up your order. Buster Brown is way over rated
