Shipping a rifle action

Not to hi-jack a thread but I like USPS with insurance and tracking. UPS or Fedex can't find their way around rural America. The driver has a smart phone for updating facebook or listening to the classics, but can't use it for google maps. I had a bespoke double gun shipped Fedex once which arrived with a large sharp dent in the right barrel. They had to open a pelican case to make that happen and it encouraged me to never use them again. They can't find a rural route either and will not be great about refunding your overnight shipping funds after they park your package at one of their hubs 130 miles away for 7-8 days.

Agree with this. Fed Ex is ok in a metropolitan area but get five miles out in the sticks and it's who knows where it's been delivered. Software to lay out the route and the driver just follows the line. It's that easy BUT it's a multi-billion dollar corporation run by technology challenged idiots. If given a choice, I don't use them and I do live in a metro area.
