I bought a rifle off gun broker. It shipped to my FFL who signed for it. I picked it up in a hard case and took it home.

Getting home I took it out and found a large dent in the stock, and a puncture hole in the hard case. I went back to the FFL and got the original shipping box from them. Matching hole in the box.

I've opened a claim with ups.

Anybody have any experience with how this works out? Any hope?






Photos attached of the boxes and the damage.

Wow, that box took a very big hit for the grip to puncture the plastic case AND a cardboard box. So sorry for the damage.

A hard plastic case inside a cardboard box is pretty good packaging. Was the rifle itself wrapped in any kind of padding?

I've never filed a claim with a shipper. I've heard too many stories about people filing claims, spending hours following-up, and ultimately never getting compensation.

Looks like you have a very good claim, though. The photos are especially helpful. I hope you get compensation.

It definitely sucks that it happened. I’d say though that it’s pretty piss poor packaging by the seller. I’ve seen that exact plastic case hanging in my local gun store cracked from shipping from the distributor. There’s a reason that case is $10. I’d take it up with the seller too. They did you a major disservice sending it in that chintzy case without any other protection.

Fhuqking UPS...I had the same thing happen on a NIB Barrett Fieldcraft. I reckon you've got nearly $350 into that thing and should be PISSED! Hint.


Laughing!








Jeeus Fhuqk,what won't you Drooling Whiners cry about?!? hint.

Bless your heart.

Hint.

LAUGHING!...................

I am surprised the FFL didnt say something about it. He had to have taken it out to log the serial number in, you would have think he would have noticed the plastic case had been smacked.

Hey little buddy. I hope you're having a good day. You need to keep in mind that $350 to someone else on this forum may be the same as $3500 is to you. At least I assume that to be the case based on how often you remind so many of us how you make so much more money than the rest of us and how we can't afford things you can. I'm just giving you a reminder. Additionally, you keep asserting how everybody else whines and cries; but, your responses to simple posts like that of the OP show how angered you get and how much you whine because of said posts. I hope it gets better for you. Be well.

TheBitchingSniveler,

You suck a mean ass,if only because it's your (1) and ONLY "move"...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

It's your Imagination,simply Pretend with as you MUST and you are doing "great". Hint. LAUGHING!

Sorry to hear of your fiscal woes. PM an addy and I'll fling you a $20 USPS MO,so you can double your net "worth". Don't worry,don't worry...I'l pay shipping. Hint. LAUGHING!

Might I suggest 1000cc's of Vagisil in your usual location and (3) Midol,to help hopefully curb your raging torrent of surging Estrogen? Hint.

Bless your heart for Whining AND Crying.

Hint.

LAUGHING!...............

Thanks little buddy.

Sky, he does buy in volume but junk in volume is still junk..............

Here's how the rifle sat in the case. You can see the damage is right by the hinge on the hard case.

Holy SCHIT!!!

I had to Google it...is that a Browning Lever Rifle,or as they seem to call it,a BLR?








NOW I understand why you had The Meltdown and the rest of your Girl Scout Troop did too!!!









I remember years ago,reading about one and I just never could seem to amass the requisite jingle(don't tease me).















Dude,if I was LUCKY enough,to ever come across one and it's finish got marred,I'd probably be just as Hissy and Pissy as you are!

Bless your hearts for the heartfelt angst and I KNOW,you've all got your Poosy Hats on...you "lucky" kchunts.

Hint.

LAUGHING!


Wow +P+++!!!......................

By my reckoning, that rifle was upside down in the case, at least if having the most space around it was the goal.

The RAR .17 I bought from Whittakers was bouncing around in the factory box and the trigger guard broke off. My dealer said his local driver was a dick, and the guy I talked to at Whittaker's said such damage was a constant problem. Ruger replaced the stock, and I fixed the broken one with epoxy and fiberglass drywall tape. PITA regardless.

I believe that the shipper has to initiate the claim.

A foul mouth is an illiterate mind trying to express itself.

Hey shortcake 🍰. You're the one having the meltdown. If we upset you so much why don't you just leave? Besides you don't contribute anything but vitriolic remarks.

I know it sucks to receive a damaged rifle,been there before.I received one that had a fairly deep ding in the forearm.What I did was get some plastic wood and fill in the ding and once done you could hardly tell.
