Good old UPS

[Decoligny]

Google says ALL firearms require an adult signature, UPS told me only if the sender requests it. Still don't know which is right???

Dad retired and was on his way to Oregon, salmon fishing. We flew to Las Vegas to meet them for the weekend. He gave me a rifle, in Las Vegas, for my birthday. I always carried a copy of my FFL. There was a UPS shipping center, just down the street from where Dad had parked the RV.

I packed the rifle and we went to UPS. After much discussion withe Kommiefornia libturd, anti-gun clerk, he accepted my package for shipment.
I paid for 2 day, adult signature required and $10k insurance.

A week later and several calls trying to track, we had gone to lunch and came home to find a package on the porch.

I thought about turning in a claim, but my goodie two shoes Wif wouldn't let me.

I was talking with my regular driver, he had been on vacation and a sub had made the delivery. He had several complaints on the guy. Wrote mine up and turned in to his Supervisor.

Sig required means nothing to some of them.

weird, Not sure why you think a driver would just leave an Adult signature, high value package at the door. No driver is going to risk losing their job for dishonesty. I don't think the clerk put those services on your package. Cover drivers(subs) do make mistakes, mostly

Had a 3T K22 Masterpiece dissappear with the USPS. The shipper used stamps.com to print the label to my FFL, but it reverted back to my FFLs old address (their story) which was now unoccupied. Package was shipped signature required, but the carrier signed for it and left it at the door. Of course it wasn't there when the mistake was discovered. According to my FFL, the ATF was not at all pleased with the carrier.

YEARS ago, working in a small town, I would cover an older guys' route who would tell me where people worked in town that lived out in the country that we could deliver to. This guy would leave stuff with family members who also lived in town. "This guy's brother/cousin/uncle/aunt works here and you can leave it with them." It was pretty sweet as I wouldn't have to go down them dusty a*# roads! Problem was, some family members DIDN'T get along and boy, they'd tell me about it! Another good thing about it was all of the deliveries were addressed to RT 1/2/3/4 Box#, which the USPS only knew. These deliveries weren't on a map, I mean they were, but those maps were owned by the USPS and they were kinda stingy with that info, haha. Directions were needed with a lot of those deliveries, "go E 3 miles, then S for a mile, turn back E and look for an old windmill with 3 blades, turn S there 1/4 mile and the trailer will be on the Right"

I made some rural deliveries back in the 70's when working for Rocket Freight lines after discharge from the Army. Semi tractor with a 22' pup trailer is what I drove. Some of the 5 ton bridges I had to cross with a 20 ton rig was kind of scary. More than once tied the steering wheel, put it in the lowest gear which is a crawl, got out of the cab and waited for it to cross the bridge before getting back in.
The location was 2mi south of highway xxx, go two miles to the dead cottonwood tree and make a left.......
I understand your pain! LOL!

I once shipped a rifle to an FFL who didn’t pick it up from USPS after 2 notices and a waiting period. It was returned to me and left on my porch with no signature. The box was ripped open enough to tell it was a rifle. The buyer paid for shipping again to a different FFL. I reboxed it and sent it again with no issues. Both times it was sent Registered Mail with signature required.
I used Sooner State Pawn a couple of months ago to box and ship a handgun. It was sent insured Priority Mail and delivered to the FFL on time with proper signature.
