I work for a common carrier, and i see alot of damaged packages. I made this video so your package arrives secure, and in the rare case the label is torn, ways to insure your pistol will get back for repairs, and back to you.

I worked for UPS for a summer. Hell of a job, and made me never want to mail anything through UPS.

A couple of hints:
1. Don't make and post a video on YouTube showing your home address, strange folks will visit you, and you may well not enjoy their company.
2. When you prepare a package for shipping, using BOTH hands works much better, the job will be done much better a lot quicker.

Just a thought...

Don't forget to include your Serial # on the paper you send to the tech. It's important for them to have just in case!

Question. 

You said that Beemiller says to declare the contents as "machine parts".  What happens if the box is lost somewhere along the line?  Would you get in trouble for reporting a FA stolen or lost that you said was just "parts"?  Any experience with that?

Thanks!

I purchased a .40 S&W hi-point, it shoots very low over 10 yards. The sight is as high as it will go, to the point were the adjustment screw is ready to pop out!

I decided to mail it back, well UPS and FEDEX wants a shipping cost of over $50.00!! That 1/4 the cost that I paid for this pistol. The dealer that I purchased it from wants over $35.00 to ship and transfer owner ship to them.

I am not shipping it as parts, if it's lost in shipping I'm out of 1 pistol.

Any advise, please...

First of when hi point will tell you to ship it back ups. when they ask waht it is , tell them machined parts. This is what hi point will tell you. Then you can ship it back ground.

Hate to ask a dumb question but I've searched the forums and can't seem to find the answer.

Can you just mail in your firearm to Hi-Point or do you need to call first?

My cousin willed me his C9 and it keeps jamming.  It's either the Winchester ammo that he also willed to me or it just really needs to be cleaned.

Thanks,
KDB
