This irritates the heck out of me!
I sold an 1885 vintage pistol gripped Ballard to a friend in Montana. Sent it USPS Priority Mail on Sept. 1st, and it went from my local station to the Portland, Or. main distribution center. At that point it seemed to vanish, and no sign it ever left the center legally. So someone inside the USPS stole the package, and the Ballard is gone.
Numerous attempts to get answers from USPS have resulted in one single reply from USPS in Montana stating it never got there. Other complaints or requests have been ignored, so heading to USPS today to file an insurance claim and see how they handle that.
It's the lower gun in these pictures. Maybe the thief at USPS will attempt to sell it locally, and hopefully someone might spot it. It's very unique with the high grade pistol grip stock, and one of a kind lever, and steel checkered buttplate.
