I bought a crosman 2260 on ebay solely for parts, and this is how it arrived!

I needed the tube and trigger, and planned on selling the stock and barrel/breech. I'm super pissed to say the least.

Usps is a joke anymore... no surprise since they're ran by the federal government.

That looks like it was delivered by Jackie Chan?

Looks like it was jumped on!

What luck!

Thats terrible.
You look at some of the damage to some of the guns during shipping and you have to wonder f it was not done on purpose.
Hope you can salvage something

The breech I can sell off, and the barrel I can cut and crown to about 12". It is also a bulk fill setup which I can sell off.

I planned to use my 12" Prod barrel and multishot breech, just mounted on the 2260 tube. I have a sporter stock also. So I'm more out any resale that I was going to get to pay for the pcp conversion parts.

Waiting on the seller to let me know what we're going to do. I want to keep it and maybe get a partial refund. If I return it, they're out all the money, pay for the return shipping, and have no item.

Yep, I use ups and ask others to. I've recieved too many damaged and empty packages from usps

So sorry to hear your tale of woe! SUCKS! I've never shipped a gun without removing barrel (if possible) and stock to make package as short as possible. Stress damage on a too long package is probably the most common scenario we see here, next to pellet packaging being insufficient.

Looks like poor packaging to me. I would say the seller is as much to blame as the shipping company.

 

[DennisB]

Normal for the USPS
Did you not expect this ?

I just did the same thing with a recent trade deal lol. 3 screws and it is ready to roll again . It reduced the length by over half and I have been informed all was well .

These pics will increase my anxiety for a while haha.

Normal for USPS and FedEx .

 

[xsarfc9x]

That's impressively bad delivery. Sux you had to deal with that mess

 

[scottblair]

I agree

I also agree with poor packing. I always use USPS. With no problems.
The action should have been removed from the stock and both wrapped separately in a shorter box. That's how I always ship.
Sorry for your experience, but blaming the federal Government is ridiculous!
Good luck

Agree 100%. UPS is the only carrier I will use. Had the same experience with usps and I had a fed ex driver hit my house trying to turn around in a space way too small for his box truck, guess he didn't know how to back up.

 

[swNCsw]

scottblair = where you quoted me above you do realize it is not me that had this occurrence but The amazing , mad , crazy , talented and funny Dr. Kralenstein Correct . hahaha

 

[Dairyboy]

That's unfortunate. I too agree with others and will only use UPS anymore. USPS is a joke anymore

 

[lwm211]

From the looks of the damage I am surprised not to see tire tracks on what is left of the box.

Yes, I agree with you, AND Jim Bentley. Poor packaging!!

The tape over the tears in the packaging is suspect.
