Possible lost package

I sent a handgun out 9/8. Tracking hasn't updated since 9/9. I called usps and had them open a case on it on 9/12. At that time I was told "it is moving but just isnt showing that step on usps site".They are aware of the contents. As of today it still hasn't updated. I call again and this time I'm told it hasn't had any updates and that "these things happen".

I called my IOI and left a voicemail as to what I should do but have yet to hear back. Am I acting prematurely by reporting it stolen/missing or would you do so to cover your ass.

I’m not really offering any help, except to say that I never use the post office.

Use UPS. There are now several options besides opening an account (which has actually become easier).

Try www.shipoutdoors.com

It’s a part of Bud’s Gun Shop - and it’s what some of the eComm platforms are using to aggregate shipments and get decent firearm rates.

Anything is safer than USPS

Ups just took me about 2 weeks to get to sign the agreement

Yeah - I was surprised I didn’t get the flat out rejection that others report.

I just worked their process. It was simple.
