My FedEx and UPS driver are going to hate me but my Grendel is almost finished.

[bugsbunny45]

It seems like I get something for my build every few days. I finally finished my lower today 1-15.
In the last week or so I have gotten my BCA upper 20 inch
Tom's Tactical 2 stage trigger
PSA lower build kit
300 Rounds of wolf
And a scope from amazon.
And a box with 3 mags from shooters supply

Humm I think the ups guy might be getting me back he puts the boxes in front of the back door so close I have to come out the garage to get them or
Try to slide them out the way some days

Don't go by how your rifle will shoot the Wolf ammo because it has a reputation of not being all that accurate especially through 5R rifling like your rifle has. Better get some Hornady Black 123 ELD-M ammo to see if you got a barrel from BCA that will shoot reasonable because there is about a 50/50 chance that you will see the FedX or UPS people again a time or two getting it replaced if it does not shoot. Been there done that and have the T-shirt. Good luck.

My guy knocked on my door once with a large shipment of factory seconds just so he could find out what the heck I order that felt like a "box filled with lead". The confused look when I told him it WAS a box of lead was worth helping to carry everything from his truck.

If your upper came as mine did which ever del service that was used new exactly what you received. I was surprised that the BCA upper came labeled with the description all over shipping box. I'm use to double boxed items of such description. Even some ammo vendors give you the option of a covered box with no indication of the item shipped.
Not really interested in all knowing my buying habits.
But I am enjoying the 6.5 grendel Experience and as you, the delivery guys are showing up regular for now. I receive many packages as it is due to the Airgun work I do with packages coming from the USA and from all over the world. There is no doubt I am under the watchful eye of others but had rather not have descriptions on my packages.JMO

While we are talking about delivery services I want to take this opportunity to say how dumb my fed ex driver is. I ordered an upper and bcg from Brownells a while back. It was raining pretty good and had been for weeks. So my driveway had a small trench from water flowing. No sense in fixing it while it's raining. But to give you an idea of the size my wife and her small car drive over it without issue. But the fed ex man in his infinite wisdom just lays the box down in the middle of the driveway while it's raining!! So my box proceeds to get rained on sitting in the road. I'm lucky my bluetick didn't find it or he would have opened it for me. I've never been a fan of fed ex but this takes the cake. At least put it in a bag! Sorry, hijacking over

Yes I agree about double boxing or at least use small print on the box. Ordered a crossbow in Dec. UPS was to deliver it and I watched the tracking and it said that it would deliver on Friday. I arranged my week so I could be home all day on Friday. Came home Thursday and sitting on my porch was my bow in a box that had it's name printed in 10" letters that a blind man could read from a long way off. Just luck someone did not 'borrow" it. It has been about 35 years ago when this happened. I had bought an AMT Hard baller 1911 style 45 ACP pistol and had problems with the extractor not being right. I sent it back to AMT through UPS. I kept waiting what I thought was a reasonable time for them to get it and replace the extractor and send it back to me 10 times. Wait was 3 weeks. I call AMT and they say they shipped it back 2 weeks ago I should contact UPS and see what was going on. I get in touch with UPS and they say it was delivered, I get this sick feeling. I run down the local UPS delivery guy the next day and ask him if he remembers making a delivery to my address. He says yes, he left it by the down stairs door on the side of my house. I told him that there was supposed to be a signature for delivery. He said that if no one is at home they usually just leave it anyway. I go home and take another look. I had two down stairs basement doors and one MAIN door to the house up stairs. I found my pistol sitting up on the 8 foot high retaining wall that leads down to the basement on the side of the house that we never used that door. It had been there for 2 weeks and it had rained 2 or 3 times on it. Just lucky it was a stainless pistol. I contacted UPS and they just kind of blew me off making it sound like it was my fault for not finding it sooner. I also had to make a delivery for FedX once. I was at my Dad's house to check on him as I did every day and I saw a FedX truck at the church next to my Dad's house. When I was leaving Dad's house I noticed two pretty large boxes laying in the middle of the church parking lot. I go over and see that the address in a clothing store in town. I load them up and take them to the address and the FedX truck is there. Told the driver I found them laying in the middle of the church parking lot woman driver says, "There they are", when I walk in with a box, "I forgot and left my door open and they must have fell out". Well duh! She never said thank you, kiss my foot or anything.

When I had my FFL I had a pair or revolvers shipped to the house I heard the door bell ring ready to sign for them. By time I get to the door I see the driver
Handing my box to the neighbors teen age son. I had to tell the driver you gave 2 pistols to a kid. I had to call the ups office and let them know he was not helping by not having me sign for them. I followed up with a formal letter also.

I think we need a delivery story thread as a sticky.
Should be good for a few laughs.
