UPS or USPS?
Metal detectors at employee exits could easily detect the thefts of large amounts of ammo and other valuable items.
Wanna stop this crap? Rig a few dozen with IEDs. Purple dye or something else, is up to the sender.
They are being stolen.
Double box, change the shipping name to first and last name, ship FedEx Ground.
Trackers would be a great idea with the information turned over to the BAFTE. They should also insure every package for at least 50% more than actual value. Theft of ammo is supposedly taken serious by the BATFE.
Good idea.
It is up to the seller/shipper to ensure their packaging permits safe handling & transport.
I'm not saying that's what is happening in the cases of the article, just that it has happened to me in the past and it was the fault of the shipper for improper packaging.
The few times I have gotten a box that had broken open, all of the ammo was still in it.
But a lot of these ammo resellers do a less than stellar job of repackaging ammo orders for shipment.
Order a full case, and it comes in the factory outer box and that is almost always perfectly fine. But order 250 rounds (5 50 round boxes) and it's hit or miss that the outer box used is up to the task.
18,000 rounds of ammunition shipped with UPS, only 6,000 made it to the end destination.
Some body going into the black marketat UPS? or threats to the Second Amendment broadened under the Biden administration.
“Working in Hollywood, people ever wonder why USPS does not deliver to celebs addresses? There is a ‘private service’ which does that.”
I suspect most celebrity mail would be fan mail. A publicity company would probably send a reply with a picture and short letter thanking the fan and telling of any upcoming film or record release (to help cover the cost of the reply).
Almost everyone in the biz knows this. I even know a few of the drivers. USPS doesn’t even operate in Malibu or Mulholland Drive. They are “registered” but almost no USPS truck driver ventures there unless you have a restaurant which caters to celebs etc.
Blackrock/Vanguard/State Street: OK, UPS, here goes. Make sure as many ammo shipments as possible don’t make it to their destinations, or else we’ll exercise our proxy shares and replace half your board members with weirdos who know nothing about running a business. ESG all the way, baby!
Do I have that one about right?
There is NO EVIDENCE of skulduggery here. The courts have “investigated”, and rejected all the claims.
I dislike UPS with a passion! They have lost several of our shipments from a Kindle Fire to a Index Pool (an 18 ft aboveground). Their 2nd day air is more like a week and their customer service is outsourced to India or Indonesia or something. And the last few times we have had to call, they are very rude and never take responsibility. Several years ago, the company I worked for ordered a bunch of cell phones for our salesmen. The UPS driver walked in the door and just dropped all those packages on the floor and made a comment that our company much be rich to afford all those phones. Needless to say, his supervisor got an earful and they pulled him from our route. At least they did do that.
And if this theft of ordnance is a Fast & Furious II?
I think you are required to declare it a as ammo.
But the package needs to be “damaged” to see what caliber is inside.
Never had a problem with UPS, the one time the supplier used FedEx the package disappeared.
WTF... no tracking numbers???
ORM-D labeling was phased out at the end of 2020. I haven’t ordered any ammo since then, so I don’t know what the current deal is.
