Ruger Marlin 1894 stock damage from UPS?

Janeau said:
I purchased many many new rifle from many dealers selling here and all came in a factory box. Some wrapped in thick dark green or black plastic or just plain brown paper.

What Tenda did is the norm not the exception.

Yup. I've never had anything sent to me from a retailer that had "extra" packaging.

Side note; there once was a posting where Canada post shipped a rifle and the stock was broken in half. Had a BOOT print in the middle.

Now there's a shocker, not!

All the Liberal/NDP b@g-lickers that work at Canada Post look for ways to damage guns. They believe guns are baby killers.

UPS is no different.

We will never change the way Liberals or Liberal followers will look at us as gun owners. The paid off corrupt media, CTV, CBC, Global news and others will assure their masters are obeyed!....:(
 
Ruger has a notice on there boxes that it is not suitable for re-shipping. I got a Ruger 10/22 RSI from Tenda and it was damaged in shipping by Canada post. I returned the rifle to Tenda and they sent me a new rifle, however the Ruger box was packed in a stronger box and not just wrapped in black garbage bag. I would check the box and see if it has a notice on it that it is only suitable for shipping to the distributer
 
I have received and shipped firearms using Canada Post and have never encountered any shipping damage. The ones that I shipped and received were only packed in the original boxes with only brown paper or black plastic and tape on the outside. But the last time that I took one to the post office, the clerk asked me if I was shipping a firearm. She told me that all firearms shipped must have a trigger lock and be in a hard case. Also required me to open a Canada Post Small Business account and pay online. Then either print the shipping label myself or bring proof of payment and they would print the label. Has anyone else ever encountered this? She also told me that I shipping insurance would not pay if a hard case is not used.

So who is liable for shipping damage if Canada Post does not step up?

Hopefully Tenda would step up.

Wood sets can be easily bought from Boyds if they dont and life goes on.

The only 2 guns that have gone missing have both been from people that disclosed the contents to the Canada Post counter clerk, despite my warning to only declare it as not dangerous legally mailable goods.

Crazy coincidence or tin foil hat time ?

I also read a story about a store that sold shipping insurance on their checkout page but never actually bought the insurance and pocketed the money.

Crazy schitt.

We will see about the shipping insurance, I paid the insurance so I actually filed the claim with all the images despite tends telling me they would. I don’t see how they could file the damage on their end since they do not have the product. I’ll see what UPS says. If UPS says no shipping insurance was purchased then that’s gonna look pretty bad. I doubt Tenda would do that for pennies to the dollar on a sale, and risk losing consumers.

Canada post is actually clueless.

The small businesses account is correct, and convenient.

The hard case is not, it only needs to be inside of a non transparent container and a box suffices (just make sure the firearm can’t poke through). Only automatic firearms need locks apparently 😂 (according to the CP website) since there are so many of those being shipped through Canada Post.

Just follow the transportation laws on the RCMP web page and you’re good to go.

Its typically the shipper that files the claim despite who has possession or paid for it. Sometimes merchants sell you insurance that goes into their self insurance pot and not directly to the shipper. Not sure what Tenda does but if your paid them for insurance you should be OK. Honestly it probably would be better as my experience is that UPS drags its feet on claims and eventually tells you they won't cover it because it wasn't appropriately packaged for safe shipping, which in this case may be probable but again that would be a Tenda problem.
 
Curious if this was OP’s rifle

That was my rifle for sure. They did follow through on the refund and it looks like it sold for 1299. Which is a decent deal since a replacement stock would come out to around 400.

Ruger/Marlin would replace that stock under warranty no problem. The guy that bought this got a good deal, I hope he contacts them and gets a stock replacement for free.

Did the dealer send you a new rifle? And was the stock a nicer piece of walnut? I would have been shocked if the dealer did not take care of this.

Wow looks pretty bang on to me. I hope this isn’t the case

Why?

It seems perfectly fine to me for a dealer to sell a damaged product at a price reduction.

Especially if one knows how to get a warranty replacement. I would suspect that Ruger/Marlin would replace that damaged stock if one told them the truth and how this all came about......:)
