Not to poke you in the eye, but why would you ship what is essentially a heavy metal bar in a padded envelope? Boxes people.
ETA: Call Smith and Wesson and ask them about purchasing a replacement slide, or: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=694188 |

call UPS maybe? LOL, why didnt I think of that? THANK YOU! 
Im going back over tomorrow morning, since its sunday. Right now Im just preparing for worst case (they cant find it), and how much it will be for a new one. Fingers crossed, someone found it and set it aside |

there was a guy on another forum that broke his slide doing an install of sites. I recall SW charged him 200 for a new slide. Next time i would suggest a USPS flat rate box. $5.00 each way. Thanks for the info. And yeah I wont be making that mistake again. Hopefully they will find it and return it to me |

It's cheaper and the DC number is free online. Print, put on the lable and drop in the mail box. |

Called this morning, they found it. Also, you can slap a shipping label directly onto a Pelican case, zip tie through the locking hole, and its as secure as it can be. My previous company shipped $100K computer systems direct through UPS, and we ONLY ever shipped in genuine Pelican brand cases. Not one was EVER damaged in transit. |

Yep. Moral of the story is, no matter how many times you use them, stay and make sure the packing is up to snuff. I was very lucky Hell, I'd pack it myself at home so I KNOW everything is well padded and sealed. Half of the UPS guys at the shipping centers can barely use a computer. |
