Obviously a FUBAR from someone in shipping! Tough one to explain to get your refund.

I would have quietly accepted this shipment... maybe!

I didn't know the 716 existed until this article. Good advertisement

In another note, Seth seems like just the kind of Washington liberal that I can't stand. Who the hell cares what he and his guests were going to have for dinner?

No no no.... you dont claim anything.... it was left at his door without a signature. conversations would go more like;

"yeah I have been waiting here all day for my T.V. to arrive.... I havent seen anyone here yet.... You said UPS right?....... Look WHERE is my T.V.??! I havent received anything here you need to ship a new one."

Seems to me like the label must have fallen off the TV box and onto the gun box.

Yeah. Thought about that too, later.

MUCH better idea!


You know, what really surprises me is that they would just "leave" a friggin' TV with no signature requirement, in the first place.

I wonder if there is a link between screen size and caliber?

More to the point - how big a TV do I have to buy in order to get a rocket launcher delivered?

Thats crazy. I work in the office of a distribution service and we service TV's and other electronics, I didnt think that Fedex ground services parcels that big. Was it Fedex Freight?

How did someone mistakenly put the address label directly on top of another address label?

Firearms in DC, get a C&R. Guns delivered to your door. Completely legal.

Most of us can't afford to have a Jumbotron hanging on the wall. The little trucks can handle my little TV.

Sounds like it's time to find a new bank and make sure the manager and his boss know why you are taking your business elsewhere.
