Sooo..... I put in for an order of ammo. 1k of each 9mm 45 and 5.56. I get an email yesterday from UPS that the shipping address was incorrect... GREAT! so i call get it cleared up, they mixed up one letter in my street address. Apparently that wasn't the issue i found out. So today they drop off all my ammo at a different house number. The UPS guy couldn't find my house, and claimed my number didn't exist. Mind you i have NEVER had this issue before, i get UPS deliveries all the time. Why in the world after i called and confirmed the correct address would they do this? I find out there on holiday schedule and my normal UPS guy isnt delivering here. Ok, finally after calling when i got the email it was delivered to the wrong address, i told the guy they just delivered 3k rounds of live ammunition to some random person, they got it here to me with in like 10mins after that little comment. Sooo, guy shows up, and says the person he delivered it to called the cops! They didn't care though since the UPS guy basically showed up to claim it while he was on the phone with them. Anyway not done yet! I have gates in my driveway, its plenty wide, what does the guy do? rams right into it and bends the SH8t out of one sides arm post. I mean c'mon!

So i guess i get to break out the propane torch tomorrow and some heavy elbow grease. At least i gots me some AMMO!

Epic Fail.. My wife even laughed at the story.

The guy was improperly delivered a box of ammo and he called the cops?

 

Jeez, it's not like there was a nuclear warhead delivered to his front door. Did he think it was going to spontaneously blow up?

Yes. People are THAT STUPID. That's what we've come to.

Any ammo gets mis-delivered to my house and you will have to look for it in a range backstop somewhere.

What can brown do for your? They can crap all over your day... Unreal story!!!

I wonder if the PD looked me up to see if i had an FPID. Another reason NOT to buy pistol ammo online with out an FPID in NJ.

Yes. People are THAT STUPID. That's what we've come to.

The UPS guy even said my neighbor was a little off... talking about terrorists or some crap... i mean really? Other then my name, my neighbor now knows there is a terrorist living on his block.

I was about to say... if I had 3000 rounds of ammunition accidentally delivered to my house you would see me at Range 14 with the barrel of my PX4 melted into a puddle at my feet.

I bet that guy didn't even know how much the package was worth. I wish i got that package delivered to me. It'd be like Christmas... And I'd believe in Santa again...

Ammo? What ammo?

Why did he open the package if his name was not on it? So he's an idiot and a nosey scumbag.....

Probably couldn't firegure out why the hell it was so heavy..

Right? WTF's up with that crap? If something showed up at my place with my neighbor's name & address on it I'd just walk it over to his place.

 

.....unless I thought it was ammo...in that case I'm with siderman - Ammo? What ammo?

 

LOL!!

They ship the original boxes since they are bulk. Just slap a shipping label on it. The packages were unopened. I don't like it shipped that way but what can u do?

 

I wouldn't even care if the guy kept it. There was a signature request ups intentionally change it to a different house number. So some one would have gotten free ammo and I would have gotten my money back.

So the neighbor gets a package with your name on it left at his door mistakenly and he calls the cops? WTF. What is wrong with some people?

At least your ammo is home safe and sound. But just think, if any of these guys here were your neighbors and it was delivered to them by mistake, I believe the ending would've been different.

Imagine what would of happpened if it was a firearms company returning your gun to you after warranty work? Wonder what the police would of done...

I would say it completely depends on the PD. Mine would probably just ask to see the original PP, but then what do you do if you don't have one? Honestly, after this, if i ever shipped a gun, i would request that they hold it at the distribution center. You would think the person who received it by accident wouldn't open it and just call UPS, but i certainly wouldn't count on it.

But then how would you pick it up and bring it home without breaking the law? If it was a handgun..

A friend of mine sent me a package from Israel with all cool IDF stuff in it. At the time my grandparent's were my official mailing address. My grandfather read the label , did not believe it was for me , opened it , filled the tub with water , submerged the package and its contents...and yep , called the PD.

 

But , he was elderly. He gets a pass.

 

That ammo delivery story of yours could be in a sitcom lol

Don't open the box, technically it is still in route from a gunsmith. Same thing for shipping it out... but then again this in NJ...

Jeeeeze .... you realize we were joking ... right?

 

No Doubt...wasnt directed at you per se...but it wasnt only one person with the "What Ammo?" stuff. Dont want someone coming in here with a 2-ton tale of woe how they got jammed up.
