Title: Pissed.......I got an Empty Box in the Mail Today
Post by: david86440 on November 18, 2009, 07:32:37 PM
I won a couple glock mags on a Gunbroker auction and the package arrived today with no mags in it.

Am I ever pissed. It doesn't look like the box was ever sealed as a plactic bag was stuck to the sealing strip.

The Post Office even had a sticker on it saying that it was unsealed and empty when it arrived here.

I've had a gut feeling something would go wrong as I got them (not) for a really good price.

I emailed the guy and will have to see what his response is. He has really good feedback.

David, let us know what he says, will he pass the buck or make it good by you?

Sucks!!

Unfortunately, this happens a lot.  We get stuff into the shop via USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL and a few others and occasionally, what we ordered was replaced by a rock or something of some weight.  Seldom is the box empty.

Good Luck...

The Gunbroker.com seller came through for me.

I agreed to split the loss so he bought me a replacement magazine and shipped it to me.

The original auction was for 2 used Glock mags and I ended up with one new one for $21.00 including shipping.

I am really happy with the outcome.

Yesterday I won an Ithaca 37 auction on Gunbroker...... I hope that box isn't empty when it arrives!

if they did ship a empty box that was supose to have a gun in it... not only will the post office be going after them, so will the atf.

Between the two, the post office is worse.  They have the highest conviction rate of any federal LEA.
