How common is ammo theft from UPS

[Notmyjk]

If this is a fact and the shipment arrived to Indianapolis inbond, it may indeed need a customs clearance prior to moving domestically. If the value of this shipment exceeds 2500.00 USD, then you may need the services of a customshouse broker.

$650 so not that much.

$650 so not that much.

So that is what is called an Informal which means if in fact this was imported, UPS can line clear the shipment.

Does your UPS shipping info show the tracking info (ie. where it departed from and where it has gone so far)? That would settle the whole drop-ship question.

Their domestic and international departments do not always communicate effectively. I would call them and be prepared to get a run around while being on eternal hold.

It does not. I even signed up for their BS ups my choice. It used to show origins but they changed it to where it does not.

I believe now you have to be logged in to see the origin info.

Weird. Mine still shows it, whether I sign in to my account or not.

I was able to go on the UPS app which I had already downloaded and found it.

Well that proves it's not a "customs" issue. It originated in the U.S., and has remained in the U.S..

Fully agree with this. Another possible snag is perhaps the hazmat labelling was not properly applied.
Hazmat Label Classifications
Class 1 – Explosives – 172.411 – These will include items such as fireworks, ammunition and ignitors as they are materials designed to explode under the proper conditions

Not near this scale, but I've had trouble more than once with UPS staff deciding that they had worked on my delivery hard enough. I would get the delivery whenever they got around to it.

Never forget a few years back, chatting with the UPS driver. I told him I had tracked my Saturday holiday season delivery to a block away, then it just stopped. Didn't get the delivery until Monday.

Driver said the quiet part out loud. "Yeah, we don't care much for working Saturdays."

With as much ammo as SGAmmo ships, I'd be skeptical that this was the issue. Sounds like UPS has screwed up somehow.

I think it's something with tracking service lately. I have received odd service from all carriers so far this year. Various Amazon USPS packages being "returned to sender" randomly or various errors like "incomplete address", UPS packages being delivered early but correct tracking info never even updates (still shows in transit), FedEx showing up in personal vehicles and plain clothes leaving a neighbor's *signature* package at my doorstep... Often i'll get an alert about an error/issue and then it's delivered within next few days like there was no problem.

Nothingburger.

It just arrived too late to get on the Sat truck, or there wasn't room for it.
It'll be arriving on Monday, the next delivery day.

Relax Francis.

SGAmmo responded pretty quickly.

 

[Notmyjk]

Interesting. I was going through the UPS rules for shipping ammunition. I found that it can have a maximum of 66 lbs and that is what my package is listed as.

Was the shipping by chance 'free'? Free shipping is usually slow delivering. I've had items sit at UPS in Indy for 3 days before with 'free' shipping.

Yes

But that doesnt seem to make much sense. UPS didnt provide free service so there is no motivation for them to skip over that package over other packages. The shipper just didnt pass the cost onto you and ate it. They still paid UPS for the shipping. And I cant think of how UPS would know whether the shipper passed the cost through or not.

Now I COULD see somebody being lazy and not wanting to move that heavy box.

 

[Notmyjk]

All is well. Ammo just arrived
