I would Most definitely remove the company name (GoG Paintball) line out of the label with all shipping partners..
Again, I hope you guys get a favorable outcome I know it hurts.
AIRGUNS STOLEN IN TRANSIT
- Thread starter Skout-airguns
- Start date

Just change your name to GoG Timeclocks on the shipping label. That will act like kryptonite to most turds.

Strange having the same problem with two different carriers, and I'd expect being a business that ships out often, you have a shipping account manager type of person you can contact directly for assistance. I believe UPS has people that go out and talk to businesses trying to make deals to get more customers.
Hopefully knowing what carriers were involved, maybe a AGN member can help provide a little extra assistance.

Signature requirements were put on hold during Covid. Packages that come ground are delivered by employees of contractors not really company employees like express. Possibly a source for worse service. Ground home delivery drivers are not paid well at all. Don’t get good help for 15/hr.
Edit …I see the driver told you that. Didnt read the whole post the first time. I had that happen to me with an 1100 dollar shotgun I shipped to an FFL. The FFL was also a marina. The driver just left this shotgun in the marina part. Gun side said they never received it. I freaked out. Took a cpl hours to find.

Just to be clear.
This statement is absolutely FALSE.
There really are 2 missing Scout airguns.
As a group, some of us could choose to help keep our eyes open, and possibly locate the stolen goods, and not de-rail, down play or mis-lead anyone.

Post #2&5 asked for additional pertinent info with zero response from OP.
People can keep an eye out but it would be nice if the OP responded. Easy to understand the possible hoax. Plus the silly WANTED poster adds to the hoax theory.

Well a kid these days can probably whip up a wanted poster like that in no time, personally i would be utterly clueless.
But i will admit it is too bad the OP have not followed up with additional info that would facilitate helpful souls.
It would be nice to know if you have to search all shelves or just the ones less than waist high.

I was in Logistics for 34 years.
Worked in all shifts..all hours of the day.
!st thing i would say is get rid of the "Fragile" tape...no one reads it ..and it ia a dead give-away on where it came from.
Thieves in a warehouse will target similar looking boxes..like cell phone boxes, that always has the same packaging.
All your shipments look the same.
To a smart thief, you are telling them this is your box. Local warehouse workers will see these boxes more frequently and will be more familiar with their contents. Believe me...we generally know what is inside and can tell what company they came from.
This is why i think it was local...more familiar with your boxes.
2nd ..The BIG shippers care less and less about security. Instead of investigating, they just pay it off.
Heavily insure everything and file claims immediately.
Hope the rifles are recovered and the problem doesn't escalate

The one rifle box picked up from the hub without a rifle in it kinda sounds fishy to me. An empty box and case would set off a lot of alarms with me the second I picked it up. To take it all the way home and then figure out there’s not a 10 pound rifle in it and different tape on the box just doesn’t set right. No details on the other rifle.

Haha speaking of fragile stickers, yesterday i picked up 4 plastic containers i had ordered for my range backpack.
Now of course you can destroy 4 pieces of Tupperware like plastic containers, but the fragile sticker on it still made me giggle, CUZ in my grey goo that is for things that are actually fragile like glass.
I take it as part of the ever increasing tendency of people actually not using languages correct.
For the love of all gods in Valhalla do not get me started on Journalism, a crowd of people i very much blame for this unfortunate situation with languages.

I'm going through a boxing issue right now. For whatever reason, our state government does not allow boxes with "guns" to have identifying wording or graphics.
Plain brown box with the original box and gun inside.
We are also the state that cannot buy airguns on ebay but we are free to pick them up at Walmart.

Shippers employ people, and, while most people are good, some people will always be bad seeds. It's not really an issue of FedEx, UPS, USPS, OnTrac, or whoever, none of them have not had (employee) theft at some time.
If you own an air rifle (and if you're here, you probably own several), they were all delivered, probably more than once, by those same shippers. Mfg to vendor, vendor to you. Perhaps with another step beside. The fact is, the vast majority of shipments are delivered completely successfully, and if that's not astounding in its own rite, I don't know what is.
I hope these rifles are found, and the person(s) responsible are punished, but lets not blame the shippers for things that are fundamentally out of their control*.

*Yes, they could control them better. Think about that the next time you're griping about shipping charges...

Its pretty clear there are 2 guns that went missing in transit. One post stats customer opened box at home and nothing was in the box. The dimension of the box is 46x17x7 and weighs 28 lbs. I'm giving the customer the benefit of the doubt he didn't notice the 9 lb missing from the box. Another post on page 2 stated one was missing from Fedex and one from UPS. Sorry you think it might be a hoax and the silly WANTED poster.
