Giving up all hope

The fact that you got a full refund makes it somewhat easier to swallow. Maybe the seller will learn a lesson about upgrading and insuring items shipped. I use USPS a lot with pretty good success other than a couple close calls that worked out. I adjust insurance and shipping method based on distance to travel and value.

I agree! 100%

I bought a like new Benjamin NP2 once, and it arrived late, in a box that had been RUN OVER - TWICE!!!

The box was ripped in two places, the stock was scratched in three places, the barrel, and shroud, were BENT (BENT 30 degree) in two places!!!! The scope was separately packaged and that made it in alright.
Seller was distraught because he had sent me pictures and the rifle was like NEW. He  refunded me, but to be fair, I paid him for the scope.  I hope he collected from the insurance!

I had also bought a holster for a Sig once that NEVER made it in .....

I do use USPS a lot - both ways - and other than those two incidents, have not had any issues.

Cheers

Yup. I've had pretty good luck but I always insure anything over $100. Maybe that helps me to make my own luck.

I am with Bill... I bet it still shows up "eventually".
Now condition might be another story as others have said.
Who knows, maybe it is stuck in the guts of a conveyor belt in an airport somewhere.

I just looked at my USPS informed delivery and it looks like today they have scanned it as arriving in Atlanta GA again.   We will see what happens now, this may not be over yet! I am concerned about condition too but maybe it has just been sitting in a truck in the back lot for the last 14-16 days and not traveling all over getting banged and crushed along the way?

This was today, now I know why "Unable to deliver item, problem with address
Apr 12, 2018 at 03:52 PM" 

I could have made it though the whole day without thinking about it being Friday the 13th, Thanks a lot! LOL

Friday the 13 must not be all bad. Just a problem with the address? I see light at the end of this tunnel.

The seller/sender is on it. It sounds to me that my address may have been ripped off of it??? IDK if the USPS will send it back to him or affix a new label at his direction??? I may still get it, or he may just sell it again if I wore him out with one email every day or so. I tried not to trouble him too much but he may have perceived me as having been too helpful although I have received not hint that he feels that way, he was probably just pained by the whole process. He said he will keep me posted so now I watch and wwwwaaaaiiiiittttt!
