UPS Missed It By How Much?

The bad news: UPS was off with its delivery of my package to the recipient by only 1,500 miles.  Yep, just missed it by that much.

The worse news: It was a firearm.

A rifle actually, properly declared with a copy of the receiver's FFL provided to their shipping desk as required.

Clearly labelled, with the address,  UPS label was checked and correct, and also destination labelled on other parts of the box with the proper address.

Instead of the FFL in Montana, they dropped it off in Kansas City, Missouri and not at an FFL.

This is very much not good. Investigation and claim form is about to be underway.  At least I sent it insured, but how did they screw it up this badly?

UPS has been having serious problems lately. They also allowed a package to Tucker Carlson to get pilfered in transit.

That's why I've been using FedEx. UPS screwed up one too many times, and it was a PITA to go through their claims department.

Midwest Chick and denim: it’s beginning to look like this is a deliberate UPS insider package theft rather than a mis-shipment. Isn’t great that we have to legally declare it’s a firearm so the thieves know what’s in the box?
