Long story. Bought a gun from a guy, and paid for it. Took him like 3 days to ship, so the payment has completely cleared. He sends me a picture from a UPS Store. He's shipping the gun with 2 scopes (one mounted on the gun), moderator, magazines, an extra barrel and an extra scope and projectiles in a large plastic rifle case, with 4 latches, the two end ones have a hole for a padlock. Tells me the UPS Store said they don't have a box big enough for it, so he went to Harbor Freight and bought a padlock, and he messages me the padlock code to open it. He put a padlock on only the left padlock hole. The right one has nothing. That is how he attempted to ship it. No cardboard or wrapping paper of any kind. This could have been helped with a 15 cent heavy duty zip tie on the right side, trim the end, and tape over it and around the case, and there could have at least been a wrap of tape over each latch going completely around the case.
As we all know, on some bulky items, you may have to MAKE a box. Back to the story. On the shipping estimate, it says "Repackaging suggested, customer declined" I get the tracking number yesterday, it finally shows that UPS has it, and it says "Package Delayed". My guess they are returning the package back to the sender for better packaging.
Have you ever had something like this happen?, and if not, how would you handle a situation like this?
