2 years ago I bought a sharps rifle out of California. It disappeared as soon as USPS picked it up, never to be seen again. took an act of congress to get my insurance money from usps. they denied my claim 3 times for BS reasons. my post master told me to call in a complaint to the governers office after doing that i had a check and apology letter from them in short order. just received my kodiak double rifle today that was shipped 3 day priority on the 7th. but thankful to have it and in one peice!
