USPS Strikes Again

(1/11) > >>

Ronno6:
Well, the good ol' USPS has done it again. I shipped a small package to Washington State on September 4.
It cleared the locak distribution center on September 5.
Made it to Honolulu, HAwai'i on September 6........wow! That was fast!!
It kicked around there a few days, then left Hawai'i on September 11.

Then......................VANISHED !!

Oh, just don’t. I have a FWB124 OTW. Via USPS because the twits at UPS wouldn’t take the “firearm”. It better get here.

UPS itself will ship pellet rifles, but they can make you jump thru so many hoops with documentation that it is a real hassle.
The "No firearms" police being applied to air guns is typically a privately owned and operated UPS access point....they can play by their own rules...

As for my package, it actually "left" Hawai'i on September 7. The September 11th update stating that it is "In transit to the destination" placeholder....

Yep. Had that happen recently. GA. To Dallas. To N Houston, 70 miles from me. Then back to Dallas. Back to N. Houston. 11 days from GA. Last week they said one was in Van Vleck. 8 miles from me. Next morning showed going back to N. Houston. Except when I got back home it was there. Wonder why I’m nervous about one I have to be home to sign for?

It's all just part of the airgun experience.
