Two Dima stocks lost from UPS

[Majday]

Isn't signature required just to protect the shipper so the recipient can't claim he/she never received the package when it was actually delivered? What does it have to do with the item getting lost? Does it actually add another layer of security like registered mail? I'm pretty ignorant about shipping stuff.

That's my understanding. Hubs can also place signature required on individual residences if they are playing the "never got the package" card collecting the money or another same item to replace the "stolen" one(college town). There may be more to just the sig required to prove delivery but I know proving deliver is one reason.

This is why I ship ONLY ADULT SIGNATURE REQUIRED per the UPS rules for shipping firearms.

Adult signature required firearms account shipments have an RFID tag added to the box.

They don't get "lost".

I've had "lost" packages magically show back up after they "investigate".

Shipping companies can lose anything. ANYTHING.

I shipped (for work) once upon a time something like 60 skid plates for a snowblower (the kind that uses 600HP engines, not the kind you walk behind). Next day air, of course, to Andrews AFB. Each skid plate weighs like 30 lbs, and the shipper LOST ALL OF THEM. They were turning up on people's front porches all over the mid-Atlantic.

NEVER underestimate the power of human stupidity.

This cannot be stated enough, do not use a company name that includes anything related to firearms. I only use an employee's name from the company. Thieves are a major problem for all of the shipping companies. Years ago I worked part time for UPS while going to college. So, pistols started going missing on my shift on a regular basis. The Fed's were called in and a coworker, someone I worked directly with, was escorted away at the end of the shift for interstate theft of firearms. Never to be seen again. Lol. Do everything you can to not draw unwanted attention to your package. Carry on.

I've gotten many stocks from him with no issues and he told me he rushed to replace the two stocks that were lost so replacements were in the mail within a week or so. Stuff happens but he's like many in the industry who make things right ASAP for his customers. I wouldn't worry too much and you'll love it when you get it.

On a side note, domestic stuff gets lost too from plenty of carriers, it's just dumb luck.

Wish I could get a Dima stock in a week…. Been waiting since December 24. Lots of excuses from our importer. Guess I have to run my cadex this year.

Just last month sent a package to my son in Texas, "Signature Required". He came home and it was in his mailbox. We do this as we have have had numerous packages and envelopes to Texas never get delivered. I'm sure he went to the post office and let them know as he works for the USPS in next township. I'm not picking on Texas its just where he lives and my mother lives part of the year.

For $25 you can always add an Apple AirTag to the package. That’s good insurance too!

add 3 boxes of 180’s to the list of stuffs lost or stolen and
Still waiting for a Dima stock as well.

I placed my order for a Dima early last month. Haven’t heard anything back since our first correspondence. Maybe he’s getting some confirmed kills with it. Adds clout for an f class rig.

NOTHING gets lost by these carriers, they are STOLEN by employees of them. Many vendors are now adding the ability for low cost insurance against theft before shipping, or requiring it.

I strongly suggest paying the extra couple of bucks and getting that insurance.

I paid for insurance for years with USPS and the first time that something was lost with them, then kept denying my claim. It was a box of my books valued at $570.00. I haven't insured anything with them after that. Hopefully the other carriers are better with their insurance claims.

Good luck. I ordered a rear bag in February and nothing. I checked in and told to wait longer.

Good luck. I ordered a reset bag in February and nothing. I checked in and told to wait longer.

Not cool.

My stock made it to Alaska within 10 days after arriving to customs.
