My first purchase on the site. I put in a silly low bid on a Charter Arms Southpaw and won. It took ten days for the seller to ship- they claimed they were closed for inventory. Only with multiple emails was I able to get the status then a tracking number.

I chose a local FFL. The shop was very close by. I called the owner and he walked me through the procedure. The gun was attempted to be delivered on August 30th. Tracking said it was being "held at post office at customers request".

I have called and emailed the owner several times with zero response. His storefront is always closed. He claims the shortages have forced him to cut back his hours.

I don't know how to proceed.

And yes, I know I should have had one of the guys here handle the deal but obviously I didn't know this was going to happen.

I can't complain to the seller. They were slow but they filled their side of the deal. I doubt the post office has any idea of how to handle anything, let alone a problem like this.

Any ideas of how to proceed?
