My spas-12 parts, 200$ worth were put in the wrong mailbox. So now I have to wait to see if someone turns them into the office.

Milt sparks sent my package to my old address even after I specifically called and changed my address telling them I had PCSd. Luckily I got confirmation today that it was delivered, back to Milt Sparks. Never received any notification that it had shipped. In fairness, this is the only thing I’ve recently been sent that arrived where it was destined, just wasn’t destined to the right place.

My primary arms order was delivered to 20B instead of 22A.

My PSA order was left on the steps of my trailer even though I have a mailbox big enough for pretty much anything but a rifle.

Just be consistent. The damn mailbox is labeled…these folks shouldn’t be working at fast food must less handling peoples money/property.

Looks like I’ll need to get a PO Box to eliminate the delivery person. One less point of failure.

I’ve got a night vision monocular worth 5k coming that requires a signature. I’m off all week so let’s see how they fuck this up.

This is the week that it stays in Palmetto.

If you want to get it out of there this week, you'll need a warrant.

Ordered 5 bore snakes from PSA, received 4. The 5th, which was in stock, shipped separately and is now lost in the void.

Yep.

I have a custom leather holster that disappeared into a black hole at a small town post office ~2 hours away last week. There's no reason why it would have gone to that post office. It's not a regional hub or anything like that. I suspect it simply ended up on the wrong truck initially, and then dropped off the radar from there.

(While I typically don't order anything for delivery between Thanksgiving and Christmas specifically due to this higher than usual chance of a mishap, it had an extended lead time so I had no control over when it actually shipped.)

Maybe it'll turn up after the Xmas rush dies down. Maybe not.

My last three orders (6 weeks) have been delayed or lost by the uspo. To make it worse, one vendor was nice enough to re-send the item, but it too was lost.

Yeah that works.Keeps your mail dry as well. My tiny box is now 200 per year. UPS may be cheaper, V tail would know.

I purchased a BCM MKII Ambi. charging handle as a Christmas gift that has been floating around "no man's land" for days. It was at the USPS hub in Memphis several days ago. I'm 30 minutes away. It then gets sent to the Nashville hub, 4 hours away, and has not moved since then. The original delivery date was the 13th. Roll Eyes
