Around the middle of April, a former neighbor of mine sent me an email asking me if I would pick up "about a half a dozen handgun boxes" he had purchased from a mutual acquaintance and mail them to him. He asked that I mail them in the cheapest Flat Rate box that would hold them. He sent me his new address in Edisto Island, SC.
No problem, I got seven boxes from the seller's wife, she works nearby, and I mailed them off within a few days. I emailed the old neighbor a copy of the receipt, as it cost just under $20.00 in postage. Didn't hear from him.
The Tuesday after Mother's Day I got an email from him saying he got around to opening the box of boxes and it was short two boxes. He said he did not get a S&W 61 box with pouch or a two piece Colt DS box. He asked what I had done with those?
I suggested he re-read his email, where-in he did not list individual boxes and wrote "about half a dozen". I did as he asked me to. I suggested he contact the seller. He did, the seller told him he gave all the boxes to his wife to give to me. So what did I do with them?
I told him the wife pulled the boxes off the rear seat and floorboard of her Mercedes SUV, check under the seat. He responded in an ugly tone. He also packed up the boxes and returned them to me, demanding I get with the seller and get those missing boxes or a refund. He sent them to my old address, where I moved from two years ago. A year after a forwarding order would of expired, had I filed one.
In closing, the box of boxes had no return address so it likely went to Dead Letter. The wife did find the missing boxes under the seat in her vehicle and sent me a text telling me she would take them to work so I could get them.
I think I am done with them all, never did get my postage back either.

Something is terribly fishy there.
