About 3 months ago I ordered a new Trijicon TA31 ECOS rifle scope for my AR.
It took forever for the order it seemed and about 2 weeks ago I got a notice that it was being mailed.
FINALLY! September 30th it was shipped and now, 11 days later it's not at my door.
I contacted my source and low and behold I gave them the correct address but it had an incorrect Zip Code!!!!!!!!!!
Right now I'm $1,700.00 in the hole and hoping that the Post Office either forwards it to the correct zip code (which they claim will happen) or it goes back to the supplier.
I was literally sick to my stomach when I found out about the zip code issue.... can anyone... ANYONE make me feel better about this?
My ultimate fear is that some dirt bag sorting the mail just chucks it aside and decides to "lose" it (even though it's a felony) or just as bad, it goes to a close enough address and the Post Office just shrugs it off!
Now before you ask, no, it did not have insurance and it went standard 1st Class mail. Certainly not my choice.. I would have happily paid the extra 10 bucks for insurance and tracking.
