A friend in another state called me to share a scenario...
He bought a weapon from big reputable dealer online.
Had it Fed Exed to a local FFL.
Fed Ex says it was delivered and signed for this morning.
FFL says it never showed up. No Fed Ex today.
FFL is a business in the front of a private residence. Mom didn't sign for a package either.
Online seller says Fed Ex confirmed the delivery.
Fed Ex is looking into possible wrong address delivery - my friend and the FFL are waiting for a call back.
My thoughts...
Whether it's a firearm or a bag of cookies, my friend has not seen it, touched it or signed for it, so it's not his problem yet.
Sounds to me like the problem lies somewhere between the seller, Fed Ex and the FFL - not with my friend.
Should he just wait 24 hours and give them a chance to straighten everything out?
No joy after the extra day? Contact credit card company and dispute the charge for non-receipt of merchandise.
He can simply "un-dispute" the charge if the rifle shows up.
Because it's a weapon (though technically not his weapon yet), is he obliged to contact police?
Anything else he should consider or do immediately?
Thanks in advance.
