I'm glad you got some resolution, in my experience dealing with lost, damaged shipments, you must be persistent. They never pay on the first attempt hoping you will give up. 

I wonder WHAT happened to the parts kit? Pretty big box to go missing. The missing signature is a mystery.

Once I had a registered mail shipment that was lost, the PO found it locked in their cage, apparently they forgot about it.

My guess is that it will eventually show up. My PPSH sat in a locked storage bin for 41 days... nobody checked it! Unbelievable.

It is still the US postal circus.

I'd recommend contacting your state Representative or state Senator.

Technically it's a public corporation as it's no longer a department if the dot.giv, but your rep or senator will get things moving.

 

Worked at the St Paul USPS iffice 30 years ....There's a reason I refer to it as the postal circus. That is .....

The clowns are in charge!

One of the things I always do is make the recipient SIGN for the item.  Then they cannot say they never got it.

I have a new usps story.  I sent a signature required box with a stock set, the cameras caught the usps delivery person signing for the box himself, and leaving it there in front of the house where it sat in the open for two days before it was noticed.

Deerslayer,

3 weeks ago a a UPS driver left a rifle at my front door on a Saturday afternoon, we were away for the weekend,  which was  discovered by my neighbor at about 16:00 Monday who kindly took charge of the package. The delivery required an adult signature which the driver forged and then lied to his supervisor that he had obtained the signature. Driver is now in the unemployment line.

For $25K it would probably be worth transporting it yourself.

I've done this twice, once to Kalamazoo MI (easy trip from NE Ohio) and once to Memphis TN (not so easy)

 

So, after my PPSH was lost for 41 days, I suspect that any future sales or transfers will be via automobile.

Rekraps, Did you finally get it?

[Doug Quaid]

One way out of this is to insure the gun with a insurance company like Eastern.

Then if it goes missing, you're covered.

I did registered mail shipped and received. 

Both packages took at least a month. 

Receiving package was said to delivered to a parcel locker.. But it wasn't. Doing hunting with the postmaster they find it 4 days later and I pick it up. 

Sent package barely any updates. It was like 2 or 3 weeks without tracking updates.. That sucked for the buyer..

Yes, we finally called the ATF and they found it within 24 hours. In a storage locker. The USPS person had gone on extended vacation.

I hope the "vacation" is extender, like forever.
