Try not to use UPS!

There is no longer any good customer service from most businesses. The best you can do is ask for a supervisor on your 1st call and then escalate from there. I won't bore you with my stories but they are many and varied. It pays to escalate initially and use the state Attorney General at the originating end and your own to put pressure on those who are at fault. Remember, it is the squeaky wheel that gets the grease!

Well at least they didn't just leave it on the front porch.

A co-worker sent his FN-FAL in for repairs.

When his 12 year old son came home from school, he found the unattended package on the front door step.

Same thing happened to me once. To this day I dont know if it was due to the shippers (UPS) incompetence, or if the seller was trying to save a buck and did not declare the package as a firearm. But yea, it was unnerving coming home and finding a package on my doorstep, then opening it up and finding a gun that I was expecting to have to sign for. I live in a neighborhood with a lot of kids, and school was out...

I had a 12" speaker delivered UPS once, in a 12x12x6 box. When I found the box on the porch, it and the speaker were bent in half perfectly like an Old El Paso taco shell, with the address label down in the bottom of the fold of the taco, you needed a dental mirror to read it. Wasn't sure what was a more amazing feat, the driver reading that label or deciding to leave it at my house..
