Not good. It may encourage more people to buy local if this keeps up. If the CC companies join the effort and prevent buyers from using credit cards for ammo purchases it could be an even bigger problem.

I have a shipment of ammo due on Thursday via UPS, now I'm worried

Don't fret, just follow the UPS tracking updates. If at any point it shows "Taken home by driver at 5:33pm" or "Destroyed by warehouse at 9:56am" then I would start to worry.

I've had XPO and TFI freight companies lose primers.

TFI lost 50,000 primers last year. When submitting a claim and verifying tracking, they magically appeared.

Somewhere along the shipping route of XPO, 40,000 primers were lost, and the container was professionally repackaged complete with straps. Never found those, but was reimbursed.

We use UPS for ammo shipping, but with tracking and insurance. Some shipments have taken longer than usual, but have always arrived eventually...so far.

Funny how stuff shows up more consistently when it is insured.

When property crime gets the "we will not prosecute" green light by mayors and goverors, this is the logical result. More crime.

Even usually honest people will start stealing. After all. It's a zero chance of getting caught. So, why not?

Lots of scores got settled when the police were ordered to stand down. Anyone else notice a sharp uptick in crime and unsolved murders? The seattle PD only have 3 officers on the sex crimes task force. How many sexual assaults do you think are being investigated?

I'll shut up now.

It comes as no shock to me that ammo would be pilfered. The people who work at the shipping places are not fools. If security is too lax it of course is tempting. If they have to pay out too many claims they will tighten up.

Yep, only when it starts hitting the pocket book of the company will they internally be more on top of preventing that.

I think that, in truth, they "lose" a lot of everything. I ordered an aftermarket anti-sway bar for a Civic I have. Box showed the brand and applications on it. I got the empty box. Some zit-faced UPS punk has my swy bar on his car.

Both UPS and FedEx have conveniently "lost" items of mine over the past few years, to the point that I refuse to do shipping without insurance and clear documentation prior to shipment (or upon delivery) of the package's contents.

They should change their names to OOPS and FedUp.

The latter is pronounced Effed Up, BTW.

I've had both of those companies deliver obviously empty boxes to my address. The boxes were clearly open but delivered anyways. Oh, BTW, we live rural and routinely have to visit the local post office. They miss delivered a package of mine that my wife went to pick up and all the employees said, "oh, you husband is the guy always ordering gun stuff". Appears our delivery person is a loudmouth.

I hope the UPS crew aren't looking for cast projectiles. Midway sent my tracking notice and it starts with 1Z.....

I have ordered ammo from SGAmmo and it has always been delivered via UPS. I get full insurance on the box which just costs $1.00 or $2.00 more but I have never had any ammo go missing or lost yet.

Always worries me when my tracking number starts with a 1z

Have had no issues yet

Really hope my zion-15 makes it to the FFL. Ordered my sig from the same shop, and it made it fine. But this makes me nervous. Suppose to be here on the 4th. Heres to hoping.

Yes, things go astray and get stolen. But it's hard for me to see conspiracy in this. It's pretty well known these days that there is value in ammunition, heavy boxes marked appropriately are probably inviting targets for internal theft.

What do I know, but why would UPS arbitrarily close out accounts of firearms related businesses? They lose customers when they do that.

If there is conspiracy theory to be involved, I ask why hasn't the US government instructed the US Postal Service to quit taking firearms shipments? Non licensees may ship long guns through the PO (to FFL's), some FFL dealers use the post office all the time to ship handguns.

Only partially related, Walmart in this area now has free home delivery. But they use private drivers to do this. Their store is less than 10 miles away and in that short distance, they lost part of my order. The order was split. I got the first part. The second part was delayed. At one time, I could see the little Google Map image showing the driver's route; he came right into my driveway and turned around. And was never seen again. Walmart made good on it.

Well I mean this is a thing: https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/pu...ator Edward J.,their hands on lethal firearms.

Some trucking companies have started putting guns on their prohibited shipping materials lists. So, I don't necessarily think it's a conspiracy as much as it these companies are seeing government put press on this type of stuff, and they are caving too it. Cause we just have to vote with our money. If once company don't like it we use the ones that do. Like credit processors that have been stopping services for gun stores, and or cutting of business because the ceo/owner says something the left don't like. So then you get companies like paralleleconomy.com

Either way people got to stand up against this stuff. Band together, and stop giving their money to companies that hate them, and their values.
