I bought a shotgun from a pard here on the Wire. Itwas sent from the neighboring state, approximately 800 miles away.Aftr 4 weeks I contacted him, he said he had mailed it 3 days after he received funds.
2 more weeks passed,and I talked to my local postmaster,and he told me that it had to be missing 30 days from my complaint before an investigation would be started.
I finally convinced him to start tracking it for me.
He traced it to a regional UPS hub where it had been sitting ,at that time, for six weeks.
His explanation was that it was sent by commercial rate, and packages sent by that rate were put in a bin at the hub, and they wouldn't ship the bin until until it was full.
I finally received the shotgun on the 29th day of the waiting period.
All in all, it looks over 8 weeks to get to me.
