Tracking says it is at the post office wgere it started. Post office says they don't have it. USPS won't do anything until one week after it was first tracked, which is now. Was supposed to be delivered the 21st then after the 21st tracking said they had no date for delivery.

That's what the seller did. It is nuts. USPS delivered an 1842 Aston to with no trouble but this has vanished.
Well I wouldn't be surprised if it just shows up in the next few days. I've had no tracking updates for days then the box just shows up. If it doesn't and they keep giving you the runaround I'd let them know that it was a antique firearm and you will be notifying the ATF of a possible stolen firearm through the USPS. I bet that will light a fire under them. As far as insurance claims I believe that has to be done on the seller/ shipper side. If the seller put insurance on it in the first place.
Good luck and keep us updated.
Very sorry for both of you that this happened. Incredibly frustrating. Hopefully the USPS will find the package and get it to you safely.

Thanks Rock. Seller did insure and I am hoping it just shows up this week. Good idea on how to kindle the fire. Seller has been great about helping with this, and that's what a brotherhood like this is about.

This happens with hair-pulling regularity. It's like, "Surprise!"

Insurance is pointless. I tried to make a claim for a damage antique rifle and was DENIED since the item was a "firearm".

I had a bit of fun. Bought an assortment of .32 cleaning tools from TOTW. They came from Minneapolis to Tulsa quickly. Then they were returned from Tulsa to Minneapolis distribution. Remained at Minneapolis a couple of days. Then returned to Tulsa by a different route, on to me at Lake Eufaula. Took several days longer than USPS delivery date first indicated.

Out of the blue USPS sent me messages today saying the musket arrived at my local post office and is out for delivery. Rock was right. Hopefully it will be in one piece.
Bad weather has shuffled things. I am day 7 late on a FedEx delivery from Graf's, day4 late on a USPS delivery from Log Cabin. Hung up in the midwest due to weather. USPS showed up out of the blue also with no tracking since leaving OH
As I have said, add the cost of an apple air tag or Galaxy tag to the price and refund it after the buyer returns it. You won’t lose the gun then.

GPS tracking
Both are small(ish) GPS tracking devices. Good for keeping track of property such as vehicles. Some use them for nefarious purposes.
I dont sell frearms, after all guns kill people, they are EVIL. Grow up and get with it.
When I dont sell/ship my firearms that I dont have I dont list them as "replica props" and triple insure them. No problems yet.
Re time & delays etc......., as Bigsky said I have had many say delayed delivery dates, then no info for days, then knock knock, knock, here they area, mostly on time or early.

I have received claims on several "firearms," modern and antique shipped via USPS. Their regulations allow it. Arm yourself with facts to make your loss/damage claims.

Musket arrived yeaterday afternoon ssfe and sound. Have a nice restoration project to work on. Stock is nicely stained and has an oil finish. Lock internals are good and tight. Bore not bad at all. Will take a while to work the pitting out but I enjoy projects like this. When done I'll take her to the range and use it a lot in living history programs, something an old NPS park ranger like me loves to do.
