I was going to say the same thing. How could anyone claim that was some sort of accident? That was deliberate as the day is long. Most likely an anti-gun whack job used a forklift or could have been a kid that was hating on the world but whatever, it dang sure was no accident.
they call that insurance fraud not that I disagree with you
Wow, that looks personal! Really! Somebody doesn't like you or guns!
It seems to me, if you really want your purchases to be safe, you would have to make the journey and pick them up yourself these days. You should hear the horror stories coming out of the fed-ex warehouses in southern California.
All of shipping industry copes with this problem by accepting damage claims on a certain percentage of their volume and spreading the cost to everyone else, much like retailers tolerating shrinkage (shoplifting). Cheaper than correcting operations. All institutions enjoy immunity from accountability. Sad.
I'm hopeful it isn't bent, we shall see. If it's just the stock that's ruined I may be able to salvage everything else and use it elsewhere. Shipping companies are such a hassle I don't know that I'll ever ship anything fragile and valuable again. I'll make a significant drive to do it my damn self.
pulling the pins on a long rifle just makes it more vulnerable. the length is still there unless you are talking a half stock.
That is a standard kibler box, pins pulled, and components packed in exactly the same manner they are shipped from Jim. All screws in the lid. The only alteration is the additional plastic wrap I put around it to hold the lid on in the event that all of the screwed somehow failed.
If they only give me a partial refund through insurance, I thought maybe I'd keep the other bits. This is the first time I've dealt with this so I'm learning as I go along.
