[ARCHIVED THREAD] - USPS lost my parts! Updates in OP (Page 2 of 3)
|
OP: I once sold an AR10 barrel to a guy in OR. Shipped UPS, insured. Package disappeared. UPS shit show of an investigation. Returned the guy's money, etc.
Five months later, the barrel turns up on his doorstep. He actually repays me for the darned thing. Everyone is happy. Weird shit can happen in UPS world. 
Good luck! |

| A few years ago I had a SAMR upper with a Krieger barrel, KAC fsgb and vero beach FFRAS go on a month long trip to who knows where thanks to USPS. Tracking stopped, communication began and there were no answers. One day it just showed up on my doorstep. I never did get an explanation but I thought for sure it was gone. Hang in there. |

Anybody ever file a claim with USPS for an insured package? Interested to hear your experiences. I currently have a PVS14 that is out to a service outfit via USPS insured and two days in a row it has showed "delivery attempt - unable to access delivery location" trying to get to the service outfit... yet they haven't left any notes at the shop to say they tried to deliver. No idea why they would be doing that. Makes me very nervous. |

maybe i missed it but, have you tired calling and saying you (UPS) lost (machine) gun parts and now I have to notify the ATF ? ETA: for those of you that have asked, this was going to be a JRW semi M60. That’s why I had to ship my parts to that machine shop, to have the semi auto mods done. |
|
Quoted:
Update...Its officially been one month since my parts were mailed...Still missing. I just don’t see how the USPS can loose a 8x8x16” box that weighs 6lbs 
Take that with a grain of salt but its what he said. |
|
For those of you that know, how long do I need to wait to start the insurance claim? Also, I do not have an invoice or receipts for the parts that were lost other than the invoice for the machine work done. All of these parts were accumulated over the years here and there |

OP, I am sorry you are having to go through this. I spent almost 6 months arguing with USPS two hurricanes ago. They were adamant that my home was vacant. No matter how many times I explained to them that I lived in a two story duplex on the second floor and that the first floor was, yes, vacant. Response: our mail carrier checked the windows of the first floor and no one is living there. I got no mail for most of that 6 months, and they would not allow me to just pick it up at the post office. Eventually my mail just started arriving again.
Another one for you. Some 20 years ago now, my old boss (when I worked at a gun store) shipped off an expensive hunting rifle of some kind to a buyer in Alaska. It never arrived. Boss refunded buyer his money, and USPS eventually paid him the insurance. 10 years later they find the package in some random warehouse. They ship it back to my boss. He calls them and reminds them they already paid the insurance on it. They didn't care. Told him to keep it. They suck in every possible direction. I really do wish you good luck. |

It did have insurance but I imagine the whole claim process is a shit show, if I EVER see a dime of that money I would be surprised... It was a progressive reloader that went missing for over a month, it finally arrived with a shredded box and a fair number of parts missing and or damaged |

since you had work completed at the machine shop - they may be able to provide a better itemized list of what they did work on. E.g. list out the name of the part and what work was performed.
That would prove what you had in the package - since you may no longer have the invoice for the parts. I would try to explain in the current market the price of said parts have actually grown in value and the older receipts would not list a fair market value. Worth a shot - since you can't locate the invoices. |

Sucks OP. I recently had a LaRue order vanish in Victoria, TX too...no updates on UPS tracking since late March, it still says "arrived in Victoria, TX", it just never left apparently. They can't find it, and I have to wait it out I guess. ETA never mind, I see your edit. Mesquite is about six hours away from me. |

Quoted:
Dammit, thats kinda what i figured...fuckin hell  I want to send a AR10 upper to have some work done but I'm still hesitant because I have no receipt for it. UPS also told me the same thing. |

Quoted:
Has the shipper opened an insurance claim yet? USPS won't let you do it if they paid for the label. I have a few problems regarding the insurance claim. As stated earlier in this thread the only invoice I have is for the machine work done ($250). I do not have documentation to prove what I paid for the parts that were lost. I acquired the parts over the years mostly paying cash at gun shows, trading etc etc |

Quoted:
Hey Mabuz, I live right outside of Victoria. If you want, IM me your info and I will physically go to the post office and look for your box ETA never mind, I see your edit. Mesquite is about six hours away from me. |
|
Quoted: Sorry for the mix up, and appreciate the offer anyways! The problem that I have found with usps, after talking to lots and lots of managers and postmasters is that they really and trully do not give one single fuck if you get your box or not. That has been my experience anyway. I hope you have better luck than me. |

Didn't you just buy all of those parts at a gun show for $3,000 with *this* receipt (that you just had printed up)? 
I’m going to wait another month before I start the insurance claim process. I HOPE I will receive my box before then. I would really rather have my parts back instead of having to start all over again. This REALLY sucks... |

You may already be outside the window. https://www.usps.com/help/claims.htm |
| Have you contacted the USPS Inspection Service? They do fraud, theft ,etc. and should be contacted. It is usually 30 days before a trace can be initiated,(Their words), and must come from the shipper. The claim must start from the shipper including the request for help from the USPS Inspection Service. |

I sent about $2K worth of parts out to be machined. They were machined, all done and life was good. On the return trip the damn box vanashed, POOF, gone, hasn't been scanned since the 20th. This was my grail gun build. I am devastated... 
Update #1. (3/16/18) One month still missing, no calls, emails, communication, nothing Update #2. (4/16/18) Two months still missing. Still absolutely nothing from usps... Those three things can eliminate 99.99999% of problems. _ |
