    Angry Somebody "lost" my new revolver

    Because none of my local dealers had this in stock, I ordered a new, Ruger GP100, 3" barrel, .357 Mag. Dealer in Oregon sent it via USPS.

    Tracking shows it was delivered Thursday.

    They have no record of it in the store.

    Continuing to work with store and post office to try and figure out what happened.

    Dealer I bought it from had it insured enough to cover the full price, so we'll see what happens

    Ouch, that sucks. Hopefully it wasn't stolen and just got misplaced in a warehouse somewhere.

    Hiredgoon, you can send pistols via the united states postal service? Maybe the USPS police x-rayed the package and wanted to see what ya had there. Sucks either way.

    I wouldn't sweat it too much yet, USPS's tracking is horrible to put it nicely.

    I've had the same thing happen, shows delivered and then shows up three days later, yes, with firearms.

    Give it til Monday, I'll bet it shows.

    Yep!

    We do lots of online ordering, and lots gets shipped via USPS. We've had packages being mailed to us in Brookville supposedly delivered to Stoystown(100 miles away), Grassflat(60 miles away), and a dozen other places - but were in reality still sitting at our local post office.

    Hell, the postal employee in Stoystown even saw on a tracking list the parcel meant for us 100 miles away supposedly delivered in her town - but called my cell to tell us the package never went through her office. ....she remembered me from dropping in while I was engineering a fiber optic cable in that town. (which I thought was quite weird that she would have remembered my name enough 2 years later and having kept my business card)

    That's how it starts, then next thing you know, she's boiling bunnies in your kitchen.

    No, the FFL I bought it from in Oregon sent it via USPS to my local FFL.

    And it was a revolver, not a pistol LOL!

    I dunno, I always figured a revolver is a pistol and a semi-auto handgun is a pistol... but I guess in current terms, only a semi-auto handgun is a pistol

    If USPS would have delivered her revolver on time, she could have shot the bunny.
