Three Foot Johnson Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 ... selected the free shipping option on the checkout page, and sent a check off to him. He's ticked off because I didn't include shipping... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Bruce Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Looks like free 2 day shipping to me... I won two auctions over two weeks ago, paid both of them expecting them to arrive last week while I was in the Poconos, nether has even shipped yet... What is it with these sellers lately? When I sell, I ship the day after payment, sometimes even before I get the payment! These guys want payment the same or next day but wait weeks to ship...

Chili Ron Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Howdy, Did you check their rateings or reviews? Gotta remember these are not or probably not, SASS pards. I have had great luck but a friend had super hassles from a Gunbroker deal. Not making excuses but right around holidays schedules get messed up. Long lines to ship are sure no fun. Would you rather wait at ups or the dentist office...??? Hmmmm…. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Pat Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I would not even want it shipped till after Christmas. I mailed Christmas cards two weeks ago from my small town in Louisiana. One made it to Dallas pretty fast some local ones have never made it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Howdy, I prefer to have guns shipped on Monday. One thing about the holidays, its probably a bit harder for the bad guys to pick out a gun from all the other stuff. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Sound like the guy didn’t know what he was doing. Maybe his first sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cholla Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I would guess GB messed up or the seller forgot to format it correctly. I have had that issue with eBay. eBay tries to force certain settings on sellers and if they don't get corrected, they can end up costing the seller money they weren't expecting.

Smoky Pistols Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I bought some brass on GB and it took almost three months to receive it from the guy. Seems he was having all kinds of trouble with the Post Office (his story, anyway). Always an excuse until I finally started pushing real hard and demanding my money back and threatening to report him. Miraculously, all the problems went away, and I got my brass--and a lot more nickel than expected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Best of luck! But.... What we really want to know is what did ya get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 Nothing yet... When/if it gets here, it should be a number of identical three piece items made from an alloy of copper and zinc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 J Bar Gunbroker recently revamped its listing format. It’s likely he check the $8 option and forgot to uncheck the 2day option. Seller error it’s happened to me and I eat the shipping cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just brass, apparently... ... the knucklehead just sent me a USPS tracking number, AND informed me there are "... live rounds in the bag, sold for the components only."

Big Jake1001 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I have an Original 1870's Remington Rolling Block Rifle in 40-50 Sharps Bottle-neck, and I bought an Ammo can filled with 10 Loaded Boxes of Ammo from the SASS Classifieds. If it's marked ORM-D and shipped by UPS Ground, it comes to my Door. It is Illegal to mail live ammo by the Post Office, but I know people do it anyway. I worked for the Post Office from 1972-1999.

Three Foot Johnson Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 My son-in-law is the postmaster for a couple little one-horse towns up on the highline, so I asked him what to do. He said it happens all the time, and packages usually don't get intercepted unless they have a big "scent signature" that gets picked up by an "electronic nose", BUT, since the guy told me he tossed live ammo in the box with the brass, he made me an "unwilling accomplice" and we'll BOTH be investigated if gets flagged and they find out I knew there was live ammo in the box and accepted delivery anyway. I had to ask him how the USPS knows so many illegal packages are going through. Really, how would you know? I mean, if you know, why aren't they being intercepted? He used some big phrase like, "Extrapolation of data from faux internal shipment audits in the distribution centers that test the effectiveness of equipment and handling procedures." I nodded knowingly and said, "Ohhhh". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Maybe James Comey will get involved and find there was a lack of maliscious intent. or maybe a group of us will get together next Christmas, and come visit you at the federal pen. Keep us posted as to your whereabouts..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLG He sent me a link last night to report the tracking number and have the package intercepted. If the seller refunds my $$$, great, if not, I'm only out $22.85. Possible trial, jail, probation, lawyer... over $22.85... I'll take the loss. https://retail-pi.usps.com/retailpi/actions/index.action?fbclid=IwAR0EzhiAhJT12XqxlC6kCzh0YWyvQmkkxJ1nhqvy3zrZr0wVpRgZp5FdyEo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
