    Don't hesitate to get the ball rolling just in case. It's definitely on the FFL shipper to do things the right way.

    All that being said. Something has been going on with USPS lately because my priority mail packages have been taking 4-5 days to show up and regular mail has been even longer. I got a heavy buffer the other day and it took it like 13 days to show up. it had tracking on it and it showed it in Indianapolis and departed. it was lost in transit from indy to my house for almost 4 days and then just randomly showed up.

    Hopefully it shows up soon.

    Long story short. Wanted a stripped lower during the panic, the only one available was in Maine (I'm in NH). My friend was going to the shop to buy one for himself so he picked up an extra one to help me out. After some research we found that he couldn't just private sell it to me, because it would be crossing state lines.

    He went to his ffl and had him ship it to my ffl, but was in a rush and didn't get tracking number/insurance on it.

    12 days later it has not arrived at my ffl. Sooo what should we do? I've never purchased a firearm over the internet or had one mailed to me so i'm new to this aspect.
    Actually, that that was still illegal.

    It is not legal for a non-dealer to buy a gun with the intention of selling it to somebody else, regardless of whether or not that 'somebody else' is legal to own the firearm. Only dealers can do that.

    Which, of course, makes you wonder how many of these people "flipping" guns are going to end up wishing they hadn't.

    Now, if your friend had purchased one for himself, and later decided he didn't want it, and he asked you about it, and you said you'd take it...that's legal.



    But yes, that is on the shipping FFL. Go to them first with the problem.

    I'd give it another week, then shop for another lower.

    Shocked that an ffl would ship a receiver which I believe they had to "book" without tracking or insurance.

    Contact USPIS and request that the ser# for the lower be entered into NCIC in case it surfaces elsewhere. Let it be known to all involved at both ends that you've made this request, and see if it's magically found.

    May seem funny to you, but I bet if it was your lower you would be looking to get Obama involved;-)

    Seriously though, I wouldn't be surprised if the FFL or an employee of his stole it. The fact that he has no info is sudpicious in itself.
