I've used two FFLs who are in the gun business part-time and have full-time jobs the rest of the time. I know one is a police officer, but the other also seems to work different shifts. Anyway, I've been notified by the automated tracking that nobody was there for delivery (both USPS and Fedex) but the FFLs made arrangements for redelivery and/or pick up. I don't recall ever having delivery of the gun delayed for more than a day. I do buy most of my guns by ordering through one of our local FFLs, but sometimes good deals at big online retailers are hard to pass up or they have something in stock that is hard to find.
