Is anyone else having issues shipping gun parts. Trying to do an ar10 build and I have had 3 different parts shipped 3 different ways get lost. Ups, fedex, usps. Barrel, stock, and buffer tube with dies. I have been ordering stuff for 20 years without ever a lost package. To have 3 in a month seems kinda odd. All lost in transit before getting too close. Trying to get resolved, shippers overwhelmed but the issue is the items are no longer in stock so hard telling when or if they will ever ship again. May have to contact creditcard to cancel, hard to contact sellers, act like I ordered a back ordered product just say it is being processed.

I haven't lost a package yet but the US mail and package delivery systems are sure moving slow these days...

Had one package from IL stall out in IL. PO got it to Denver. Today it went to FL. Have a respectful man trying to get it to me. Been about 3 weeks now.

I have a pre 64 trigger and floorplate been stalled for over a week....not sellers fault and won't hold him to it, figured I'd pay post office a visit tomorrow and see if they can help.

12-20 days for USPS priority on several shipments the past month. Yet some make it from Oregon to Florida in 2 days.

Both the Post Office and FedEx have been super messed up for quite a while now.

Yup, and UPS isn't performing so great either.

Sign of the times

I have had packages from all carriers sit for weeks and then all of a sudden appear clear across the US., sometimes in the wrong direction.So far all have made it in. Some were pretty rough when they got here though. And it is not just gun parts. Things got a bit better about the middle of January, but no where close to back to normal. I have seen peole still waitibg on packages from November that move for a day or 2 and then sit for weeks more.

I’m currently having a delivery issue also. USPS shows delivered but I haven’t received the item. This happened before and about a week later the item arrived. Amazing how screwed up the usps is right now.

They’re getting about half of our packages right lately... good luck trying to find anyone at the USPS who cares...

UPS lost a S&W 686 barrel I shipped back around Christmas. It never did turn up and their insurance eventually paid for it.

I've been experiencing the worst shipping delays in a long time lately. Especially USPS, but also UPS. Coming and going.

And, had two priority mail boxes from the same sender show up today after being delayed, both empty of their contents.

I work at UPS and that big ice storm that hit a big part of the country really put a big delay on our volume.
It is slowly getting back to normal, but it is hard to tell when things will flow back to normal, if there ever is such a thing....

USPS has a black hole in Southhaven MS, three packages lately have gone right past Arkansas and disappeared there.
I finally got one Saturday that's been missing since Dec 27th. Most of the others have taken the scenic route.

I have one package that I sent over a week ago. Tracking says it's still in Portland. Its insured USPS priority 3 day shipping. Something is going on with the USPS...

I have a package coming from FL, spent 3 days in Ft Lauderdale now has been in Memphis for over 5 days.

The main ups and us postal distribution centers ate by my parents house .If you saw the hudlums working there and where it's at you would totally understand .I swear they stealimg guns and parts for themselves .I went to the gun show this weekend it was full of gangs

Exactly my experience as well. Something is weird.

And they want a government bail out!
They are overpaid as it is!
