I've seen that as well,T D. It is why I add W Palm as my city, even if it is 10 miles south. I have a package coming from Graf and they get to chose carriers unless I wanted to pay a lot more for shipping. With no ammo involved,this might prove interesting. They had the primed  hi brass shotgun hulls I wanted and buckshot at 1/4 the price from other places.

Still waiting for my package and with King's birthday tomorrow It won't get delivered if it reaches my post office.
I once drove through a blizzard to deliver a load of liquid sugar to B&M baked beans in Bangor Maine and was early for my delivery time. I never let weather stop me, it was always the stupid people who didn't know how to drive that would get stuck or wreck and block the road. I also went to the Warf in Bangor and picked up 4 live 4lb lobsters pack to ship for my dinner when I got back home the next day. The boss asked what I had in the box when I turned in my bills and opened it to show him, he asked where I got them and I gave him a business card from the fish market in Bangor. I was always bring produce or some type of fresh fish home from the states I traveled through. Had some of my trucks wired with a 12volt -120 converter for a portable cooler. ;D

It is looking like Fedex has lost or had stolen a package again. This order contains powder from Brownells. It seems to hsve disappeared in Ocala Florida. Weather is not a factor there.

FedEx says the label wasn't readable and they will fix it. Imagine them getting it a thousand miles in the right direction with an "unreadable" label. I knew I should have worn my hip waders for this! Raising hell with Brownells may pay off.

Lets hope they get it straightened out and delivered to you. I know it can be very frustrating.

Brownells has apologized for the delay. The latest says Monday delivery from Fedex. It's still stuck in Ocala. I would not be surprised to have an empty box delivered if at all.

Wow, this is getting to be a bit ridiculous.  There is a thread in the African Hunting Forum about a rifle stock broken by Fed Ex, and they basically refusing to pay even though there was insurance.  I also read about another broken rifle, and Fed Ex basically saying take us to court, we are not paying.  I don't wish bad on anyone, but Fed Ex deserves a rude awakening.  This is flat out criminal, and they are getting away with it.

    If they offer insurance, they should explain exactly what the insurance covers.

Amazon delivered a package a while ago to the wrong street, right house number. The person that got it brought it to me. The guy that finally delivered my FedEx package looked more like a cop than the typical driver. It was the hazmat free powder from Brownells. Maybe the delay was planned? Paranoia is a learned thing!   :)

Well, let's go down the Rabbitt Hole.
Anything gun related is screwed around so you don't have it to commit a crime till they can run a quick check on you and make sure you're not a Terrorist.
It took 2weeks to get an air rifle part, I ordered a Mowen bathroom faucet set and it arrived in 4 days, 6 days before the promised delivery date. The Faucet set came from Ind and the rifle part from Arkansas.
Sounds like a conspiracy to me.

You're correct Danno.  However, the idiot behind the counter probably can't spell insurance let alone explain what is covered.  He/she is probably reciting what was taught on the crash course they received to work for FedEx.  It's very frustrating and upsetting.  >:(

They don't even have a clear explanation online!
