It shouldn't but it does.

Plan accordingly.
95% of the time, I can’t. That’s just the truth. You think Roy has been the victim only because he didn’t make the shippers pack guns right? No.

A guy can ask, but in the end almost every seller is going to ship the guns the way they’ve always shipped guns. You’re not going to get Joe Schmoe in a gun or pawn shop to spend 90 minutes constructing a safe shipping continue.


Having guns shipped to you is a risk you have to be able to live with. These carriers handle millions of packages every day. Every employee, every office, every truck driver is under a microscope. And the companies, USPS included don't care how much stuff gets damaged, they only care how much stuff gets delivered. And they can't afford to fire people because there is nobody to replace them. It's just collateral damage to them. Maybe we broke 2 things but we got a thousand delivered. Like a bomb that kills 10 civilians but gets 100 bad guys. It's a game of numbers. That's it. Whining about it won't change it. It's business.
