Shipping is Frustrating These days....

Sell it on eBay. They're quite spendy.

So somewhere a Freightliner repair shop just got a new Crossman Rifle.

I’ve had good luck with shipping. It’s the sellers that sometimes messes up. These are my most recent shipments and I know they have arrived while being 200 miles away. We don’t have porch pirates where I live. Most residents have a shotgun and a backhoe.

I am still trying to figure out if my post master is dim witted, or has a sense of humor…

One of our members here was kind enough to ship me a hunk of metal. I figured I’d go see if it was in my PO Box today. It was. But how to get it?

Luckily, a Winchester happened by to free the incarcerated Marlin!

That is hilarious.

I tried to pry it out a few times, but no go. Then I remember I have a cheap Winchester knife in my truck. That cheap knife has saved the day a few times. It has stayed sharp from the factory for years. Amazing out of a $15 knife!

[Sir Henry]

I’m still laughing.

Pretty ingenious.

I have to admit when I'm wrong. I was very wrong about how difficult it would be to take care of the problem in shipping with my new air rifle.
I called Crosman yesterday, explained the situation, sent photographs of the box and what I received and with 10 - 15 minutes, the woman at Crosman called me back. They were going to send me a rifle. She confirmed I got the email with her ordering it for me. I got the email and thanked her.
Today, UPS rang the bell just before noon. I was handed a shipping box from Crosman that had a new 3622 inside. What fantastic customer service!
It's a shame it's Saturday and Crosman is closed now, I'd be on the phone looking to talk to who is in charge there.

Thank you Deb at Crosman. Great job!

They must have shipped it almost immediately and paid for overnight shipping or maybe got a discount from UPS as it's likely a UPS employee somewhere along the line made the switch. Still impressive on Crosman's part.

I just received a text message I need to confirm my street address to the USPS (they provided a link) for a package to be delivered. I suspect it’s fraud and will ignore it.

I am getting similar messages almost daily. Along with “your bank card ending in xxxx has been locked. Please enter your account details at this link to unlock it”. Yeah, no.

It's also possible it was an honest mistake. They had a damaged package without contents and found an item nearby that looked like it belonged to that package. If they were just going to steal the Crosman, no real need to do a swap out.
