UPS mistake SW mistake

I sent my Smith 586 back for a hammer nose bushing recall, a week or so later it was returned to my front porch, in full view of the street in a box labeled S&W.  I have two stone pillars and masonry walls, a well hidden porch, the idiot UPS driver left it right in front of the door!  It could have easily been left anywhere else on the porch, well out of sight.  Smith screwed up too, as my local FFL sent it to them for me and I SPECIFICALLY IN DETAIL TOLD THEM TO RETURN IT TO THE FFL DEALER.  They didn't.  It was sent to my residence.  Idiots at both ends.  I've dealt with my dealer for years and they have always done things accurately with attention to detail.  This was NOT their fault.  And so it goes....

S&W uses Fedex.  An adult had to sign  for my S&W when it came to my house.  I shipped it to S&W  with there label and i signed for it on return.  All went well. No FFL needed. Just follow instruction on the S&W website.

I recently had 2 pistols dropped on the front porch by UPS.  The label clearly stated "Adult signature required, 21 min".  Went down to the terminal and spoke with the Supervisor and he stated that it can't happen without signature.  I asked him to prove that it was signed for by me and he could not.  Needless to say things went downhill from there.

Which is exactly why I always use an FFL business.  They are there to sign, they are responsible, I pay them a few bucks, smooth sailing.

I would of handled it different. I would of got a hold of S&W and started asking where my revolver was. I would keep asking until they got you an answer. Let the big dogs fight each other. Maybe they would get the message. Probably not.
