A spin-kick takes too long to execute; that flashy schitt will just get you hurt. If you wanted to learn one move, that has the most power in ALL of the martial arts, it's the side-kick. You really need to set your opponent up for the side-kick, but it develops fast enough to K.O. a bunch of befuddled USPS employees who don't even realize they're having the schitt kicked out of them. Bruce Lee maintained that there was never a need to kick above the knee in a street fight.

So, I will just call Bear Basin...They might like my money. Sorry for your troubles dogcatcher, Alex at Eurooptics & Chris over at Sportoptics have always shipped anyway I like with better prices if you speak to them direct.

I used to use UPS all the time, until the local UPS shipping center changed their policy shipping any gun related items. Good thing is, a new shipping company went in about a year ago, and the owner also just opened up a gun shop next to it. I have been lucky to never have to file a claim with USPS, but had a buddy that did, and it took 4 months to get his money back on an item they broke, it was vlaued at $5,000.

So far, neither has ever lost anything, and only a couple of times has anything arrived late by more than a day or so. Only one time have I had damage done to a package, and that was with UPS when someone shipped me some tires/wheels ... and one of the 4 tires had been drug across the ground and wore down the raised lettering and put a couple of good flat spots on the side wall of that tire. However, UPS reimbursed me the price of the tire within about a month, and the tire was still fine to use w/out having to replace it. Guess I've just had good luck? In any event, I'll continue to use either for whatever I'm shipping. I just make sure to price out both carriers prior to choosing one, and also choose based on what it is I'm sending and how I feel it will be handled by each. -WGM-

The other option is to ship to the local UPS or FEDEX store or customer center and have them hold it for pickup. I would think this should alleviate the seller fraud concerns since you have to show picture ID to pick it up.

I had a similar experience. Fortunately, the item mysteriously turned up several weeks later -- but USPS personnel were utterly useless in the interim. Their attitude could best be summarized as, "Oh well..." If you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

And actually said several times "are you sure it was shipped via postal service" To which I replied "YES, I TRACKED IT TO THE POST OFFICE ON YOUR WEBSITE, USING YOUR TRACKING NUMBERS!"

Karma is a bitch. You "faultless" consumers should give him a break; not everyone can make the correct decision every time like you guys.
