GLOCK made me pee!

There is a Glock 17 under the tree at my place! I found a place selling them at pretty much the same price as 6 months ago(600+tax/ship). Its for my wife, hope she doesn't read this before tomorrow morning(pretty safe as we're going out tonight)
I had a firearm arrive today which is amazing considering the weather. The snow is insane, need a 4wd to get on or off the street and even they are getting stuck. It was my present to myself, another Walther P99. The Glock arrived on monday. I hope the original posters made it today, the waiting is brutal.

You'll enjoy that Glock; despite all the hate that is directed toward them I have yet to find an issue with one. And yes...that is a great feeling, either just walking out of the store or watching the post van show up....

Not so in our neighbourhood, I've had boxes outside my door numerous times, likewise my shooting buddy.They only leave slips in my mailbox. No delivery in Fort Mac
heck, he had a pistol and 250 rounds of ammo left on the doorstep once!!

I bought a Sig 226 from Smith45 on Dec. 2 and then the wait started for the FEDS to do their thing. The very nice girl at the other end of the phone said 5 days for the transfer to go through. Right. I gave them the benefit and waited 10 days to call and check. I mentioned the 5 day thing and yes, I guess it must have been funny because they really could not stifle the laughter. So I waited until December 19th and they told me the transfer was completed. How the heck are we supposed to know unless we wait an extra week or two until the paperwork arrives in the mail. Sheesh. Anyways, SMITH got the gun out the next day and the projected date of arrival is the 29th. Great. Once again the post mistress will wake me up after working graveyard shift and I have to race to the door with my MORNING WOODIE. She seems to be getting used to that and keeps strict eye contact now. Hurry up tomorrow!!

And then you have to drive to the opposite end of the city to a postal station
who knows where
Call CP and get a supervisior and file a complaint.
This is a common CP scam where I live. The Xpress post drivers will lighten their load by filling out missed delivery slips and give them to your regular carrier to drop off with your mail. It has happened to me three times.
The third time it happened I caught my postie stuffing the missed notice in my mailbox. The missed delivery slip was dated that day but the time was three hours ahead. When I started to question him he got all red in the face and left saying he was behind in his deliveries and left without offering a credible explaination.
I called CP and told them this was the third time I've been burned like this and I wanted someones head on a platter. The super was nice and polite and said he would talk to the carrier. I requested a follow up call from him to find out what had happened. He called back the next day and said the carrier claimed she had just filled out the time wrong. Yeah right....I called BS on that because it was handed to me by my regular carrier.
Bottom line is after the complaint I stopped being screwed by their little games. She has not tried the same scam on me in the two dozen deliveries since. Once I missed the doorbell while on the phone and she came back and tried again a couple hours later....No way that would have happened if I hadn't complained before.
You (or the shipper) is paying good money for the service. Make sure they provide the minimum level of service with no stupid games. I'm sure not all carriers do this but when you catch one in the act don't let them get away with it...

Here's the UPDATE! It arrived right when it was supposed to - on December 24th, oh and I'm so happy now! That post office truck driving lady seemed a little freaked out by my excitement when she rang the bell!
