Warning, this may get lengthy. I ordered a pistol from an out of state dealer last week (2/18). It shipped the following day via 2 Day Priority Mail. It was originally scheduled for Saturday delivery, but due to the snow, it was pushed back to a Tuesday delivery. On Tuesday (2/24) it was scanned as "out for delivery" around roughly 7AM. It never was delivered to my in state FFL, and instead the status was updated to "delivery status not updated" exactly 14 hours later. So I called the local post office, and after getting a busy signal multiple times, I finally got a hold of someone. I explained what was going on, and she told me the driver on that route didn't have it on her truck yesterday (2/24), and she wasn't sure if she'd had it on her truck when she left today (2/25). She told me she would look into it and call me back. This was around 8AM. Come noon, I still hadn't heard anything, so I decided to call the 800 number for USPS. The lady wasn't anymore help, apart from starting a case number. At 5PM I still hadn't heard anything, so I called the local post office and spoke with the same lady. She told me she didn't have it on her truck again today. She said that it may have ended up on another truck, but (and this is where it gets weird) the drivers aren't allowed to return to the post office with anything, so the driver may have just put it in a drop box somewhere, and that it may just "show up" in a day or two. Obviously, that frustrates the hell out of me, so I just got off the phone.
So what say you, fellow INGOers? What should I be doing here? I've never had anything like this happen before. Obviously the gun isn't legally mine, so I'm not in any legal trouble, but I still would like to have it. As it currently sits, it has been 8 days since the gun shipped via 2 Day Priority mail. It currently shows the same "delivery status not updated" message on the tracking website, but it was definitely in Greenwood at some point.
