Probably recognized the vortex repair center address on the package. Maybe he has sent a few back himself.

How on earth does a guy at the post office know which brand of scope is being sent in for repair?
Mmmm...maybe the guy read the address where the package was going.

I was in the post office about 6 months ago, sending a Leupold scope in, and the guy behind the counter, who I know is a hunter, asked me if it was going in for repair. I told him it was and he said he doesn't see too many Leupolds getting sent in.
He went on to say there was one brand of scope that he noticed was leading the pack in returns for service though. When I asked which brand that he noticed gets sent back most often, the answer was "Vortex" How on earth does a guy at the post office know which brand of scope is being sent in for repair? Any time I send something like a scope through the mail, I make sure the contents of the box can't be identified. Same as when they get shipped to me from the vendor, they're always in a plain brown box. Guessing not many Leupolds get sent to the Vortex address.

Yeah, it was probably the Beaverton that gave it away.

Beaverton, OR 97006-5790.
This one would be a head scratchier too. It's likely the Wisconsin part that gives it away.

Brain fart on my part. I was gonna ask if you'd ever had one, but then I realized there's a prerequisite.......

I blamed myself for having a brain fart. Pretty post-menopausal of you to say otherwise.

Well, I'm totally convinced now. I'll never own a Vortex either.

I do know the manufacturers do not appreciate people bragging about their discounts, especially on the internet. And you are still completely wrong. I don't think the manufacturers give a shyt. Sure never heard that they do and I've worked for one and talked to representatives from many others for years. You want the discounts, get a job in the industry. Anybody that works in the industry gets the industry professionals discount. As per usual, you don't know shyt and are way more knoeledgeable in your own little mind than in reality. Once again Arthur is yapping about shiit he don’t know about.... yep it’s a huge secret, the 40% military, law enforcement first responder discount that I and thousands of others receive!!!!! Shhhhh! Keep it a secret!!! Lmfao You post a ton of really stupid stuff as if it is part of the discussion. And then you get all nasty. What a piece of work...

He went on to say there was one brand of scope that he noticed was leading the pack in returns for service though. When I asked which brand that he noticed gets sent back most often, the answer was "Vortex" Several points to consider... Vortex at the low end is selling a bunch of scopes in competition with all the low end sellers. They are likely selling a lot more at that level than any two other manufacturers combined. Return rates at that level are not worth arguing. At least I do not care. Once you get into the better glass returns are vastly different at every manufacturer. Because the same name is applied to such a huge product spread numbers get skewed. Vortex did not grow the way it has with bad return rates on high end products. Vortex service is absolutely as good as it gets.
