Box showed up at my house like this, from UPS. Was supposed to be my Obermeyer barrel. ![](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/usergals/2017/08/full-39697-112437-img_2080.jpg)

So someone stole the barrel? Unless it was someone at UPS, then no. Dropped off at the house like that.

I think I accurately conveyed my feelings to the UPS customer service folks. "Send in pictures, and we'll be in contact with the shipper". I'll give Boots a call tomorrow, we'll see what he has to say.

Had the exact same thing happen to me on a barrel I shipped to a buyer. All he got was an empty tube. I refunded him his money but USPS wouldn't cover it because it was my word against theirs.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

People like that deserve to be tied to a tree, in a creek bottom, for 24 hours.

And this is why I stated some of us do not want to ship a gun or action or barrel to be threaded or cut, have work performed... Prefer to deliver it even if I have to pay a courier.
Sorry about your problem, hope they locate it and it is not scratched or damaged.

It has been rolling around in a truck or an airplane the past few days. I would still install it to see what it would do though.

It happened to me once. The barrel was shipped in a cardboard tube with plastic end caps taped on. In my case, I think the end cap just came off. They looked at every UPS location my barrel had been and never found it. Hopefully, Obermeyer or you paid for insurance. I think it would be fine if found as long as it wasn't used as a pry bar.

I cross my fingers every time I ship a gun. So far I've been lucky
Its got to be a nightmare dealing with loss or damage.
Good luck 68A

That sucks! These things wouldn't happen if the barrel was packaged correctly. You can't expect a heavy metal tube to stay inside a cardboard box if it has any ability to move inside the container. It should all fall back on the shipper,they are responsible for correctly packaging the items they ship out. Most people know how freight companies can be pretty hard on handling packages,they might get transferred 4 or 5 times to different trucks and shipping facilities from the time they get from point A to B. Unless you ship something Overnight,it will be handled many times in the shipping process.
