i bought from a fellow member 18 boxes of speer 44 cal. 240 bullets on sept. 15th this year.
the seller couldn't get all 18 boxes in a fixed rate box due to the weight so he put 15 boxes in a
large freight box and 3 boxes in a small freight box.
within a couple days he shipped from california and sent me the tracking number.
eager to get them i watched the tracking progress.
well...the box made it to their main hub in california and that's where everything came to a halt.
5 days pass from shipping date...then 10 ...then 15...then 20 ...then 25 days have gone by.
still the tracking said "delayed in transit".
we both thought that it was stolen and decided to file a claim on the insurance.
on the 27th day ... lo and behold a 64 pound package came to me ...yup it's them!
the seller did a great job of packing...he made a crate out of plywood that fits in the postal cardboard box packed the bullets and nailed the lid shut.
when i got it there was a ton of clear tape on the box ...which i cut through to get to the crate.
the crate had the lid pried off and the nails bent flat over!
why would u.s.p.s. take it upon themselves to open and examine the content of any mail?
if there was gold coins in there i doubt i would have ever got the package!
this is a first for me...how about you?
