SOLD OUT: TYPE 81 SPECIAL EDITION -Shipment 2-

It's not oil. It's scratches and they all have them (I have enough of them to be quite sure, lol). I use perma blue paste to get them out, not 100 % but good enough. Amazon was the cheapest I could find. Only paste is good, not the liquid stuff.

Just widen the tabs on the upper hand guard, easy enough.

I think you misread. He said a coat of oil might take out the scratches.

UPDATE: Called CanadaPost - All the (actually understanding) lady on the other end could do was ship off a service ticket and contact the Depot to speed up the process and it "should arrive by next Friday, but if it doesn't, we'll contact you with the next steps". Yeesh. Maybe Tactical Imports should change their name to "Flower Power Super Love Products" so these things don't get dinged or held! :)

Can anyone advise what I should do? The package was sent on the 12th from TI, it was supposed to be delivered 6 days later. Then it became "delayed" (instantly I knew it's something to do with it being a firearm, or just crappy CP service), and then it was supposed to be delivered the 24th..... and now it's been in "transit" for ages, past the 24th deadline etc. (in any other instance, I would be getting a refund for shipping, had I been the sender, because this is getting ridiculous from the CP end.... not blaming TI for this)

Also don't understand the "origin: mississauga" vs "Item coming from Calgary"

Should I be calling Canada Post and sitting on the line for 2 hours? Should I be waiting?

Here is what I am seeing in my tracking:

WELP.... update time: Item is basically lost? I opened a service ticket with Canadapost on the 28th, after they missed their already pushed 24th delivery deadline. Somehow it miraculously moved from Calgary to Winnipeg in a few days..... and then since the 30th has been "in transit" (aka sitting in Winnipeg, if that's even true...) since.

Got an email from the automated Canadapost service saying "item not delivered" and now I have to contact the Sender (TI) to resolve this....

Has anyone else had this nightmare? Is anyone else's Type 81 missing?? Are they purposely withholding parcels because of the contents?

I ordered car parts from a friend in Calgary days before the TI order, and it came in 5 or 6 days. And yet suddenly this parcel is "missing".....
 
Like someone else said, it’s just Canada Post being ####ty. That automated reply you got is generic and always gets sent out if you open a ticket and the item hasn’t been delivered in the week timeframe that they give. If you’ve seen it move that means it’s not lost, they’re just taking their sweet time. I was in the same boat as you, but my rifle showed up on Wednesday, my optic rail and some spare magazines only came in yesterday. Both were shipped out on the 21st. I’ve got another order with TI that hasn’t even shipped yet. I know it’s frustrating but just give it some more time. Canada Post has lost a lot of my packages, even more have been terribly delayed but only one never ended up being delivered. I’d be willing to bet your package will show up within the next week

I didn't say it was oil, I said many of the scratches in the phosphate can be buffed out with an oil (Ballistol specifically). Also, many of us have "enough of them." They are not all scratched at least mine has none..

Two shipments accepted and shipped out of Calgary on Jan-30 (Thanks TI)
Just picked up the extra mags, the rail and spares from the post office.
The other tracking number (rifle) is still in transit.
Canada post being Canada post… it’ll come, eventually.

I have an order from Ivan Tactical, that might arrive faster

Yea it’s pretty easy. Just need a small hack saw and a file to take away a bit of material at the front of the follower to clear the feed ramps. Also have to notch the back a bit like on the steel mags so it clears the little lever that holds the bolt open.

Of course the bolt hold open feature will not work. All in all took maybe 3 mins to make each mag fit

I did it with a belt sander laying on it's side and a bastard file for the notch on the back. I like the 10/5 ones.
