Sorry Robb--that sucks. That is too long for UPS to just suddenly find it. I've had USPS claim a package was delivered and then six days later it appeared in my mailbox with no explanation and no response to my "case."

UPS "lost " a FN-FAL i shipped to MA say 10 years ago. Tracking showed in transit, yet no delivery to the address it said "delivered" to. UPS jerked me around for 5 min, till i said. Your driver and warehouse have no idea where it went. No problem. I have ATF on the other line and they will be handling the investigation from here. 5 min later, that lost in space rifle was located, go figure.

One of the main reasons there is a required next day delivery on hand guns was the high theft from within ups and fedex. Supposedly better oversight of firearm shipments would solve the issue.
I had this happen as well. Had a Colt M1911 in the wind for three days. Got a supervisor and told them it was a firearm and I would have to report it lost/stolen (it was insured to full value which was high).

Got a call back in 30 minutes. Package was located and was delivered in the next two days. They didn't care until they knew it was a gun. The value didn't even impress them--just the word "firearm" was all it took.

I know for a fact UPS has prohibited persons as employees because I've had issues dropping off packages (one guy wouldn't physically touch a P226 going back for warranty work). If anyone really looked at the law and what they do there would be issues. Of course, that would be bad for us...
