I purchase probably a dozen or so firearms from online vendors each year, and have never had a problem at all. But, my FFL is great and provides a level of customer service that many FFLs refuse to provide. So perhaps there have been issues and he just resolved them without me ever knowing. I'm sorry to hear you have not had such good luck. I will agree with on the fact that the USPS is garbage in most cases, but as far as delivering my firearms, they have been decent. Slow, but decent.
