ordered dd chf 14.5 lightweight, carbine, barrel. tracking says delivered at 10:30 to front door, i get excited and check.... nothing.
call aim, scott is on it (thanks scott).

what are the odds of me getting this barrel? i think my retro dreams just went down the shitter.

I would check with the folks that live on each side of you and ask if they happend to get your UPS package.

Also if it had to be signed for then its posible the paper they left blew away. Did they toss it over the back yard fence ? Lots of possibilities

You can also click the proof of delevery and it will give a clue where they left it.

was it ups or USPS?

tracking info says usps, i have checked with my neighbors (nothing). tracking says left at front door / porch.

during the day i am in the living room (where the front door is) with the blinds open so my dogs can see outside. mailbox is also at the front door attached to house (i check mail without having to step out of house).
my desk is approx. 8 feet from the mailbox, my recliner is approx 12 feet from mail box. i have 3 picture windows that the mailbox is viewed from. both dogs go retarded everyday at about 2:30pm when mail man brings the
mail. it would be hard for me to miss the mail being delivered (unless i was in the shower or not home. neither of these are the case.)

edit to add - i am not blaming aim for this, just complaining about a shitty situation.

Well I for one hope you get it since you intend on using it. I could've used 4 of those barrels for a family build I'm just starting.

I'm sure that there will be an influx of neckbeard listings on the EE this week.

i waited 3 months for the brownells a1 barrel only to have it sell out when i took my wife to dinner (i checked before going and when i got back they had been posted and sold out),
i missed the 12.5" lightweight deal from another sight, and now this. there are tons of barrels that will "work" but i have been holding off for just the perfect barrel. thankfully i didn't order
the fsb, or extended flash hider this weekend.

anyone been through this before? how long does this process usually take? this is why i love ups signature required.

Already happening, there is one guy who had at least 10 barrels for sale. I got two 14.5 carbine barrels, I'd love to trade one for a 16" middy since those were sold out.

me, no. i talked to scott, he said they would start and investigation. i was pissed (not at him or aim), so i didn't think to ask what all that means.
common sense tells me you guys will call the post offce, they will say oh yeah our guy delivered it "to front door / porch" (as this is what tracking says).
this shit just keeps running through my head, this is the first package out of hundreds that have gone wrong.

If you live in a town, have you tried going over to the next street with the same numerical address? Twice I've had USPS deliver my order just one street over at 450 Main St instead of 450 Front St.

Usps just plain sucks. I always get my neighbors mail and I'm sure they get ours. I always go knock on their door to give them their mail but haven't had them do the same. I wonder if they just dump out mail or what. Luckily we haven't had anything missing. Now the mail lady that delivers to our shop, shes awesome. She doesn't leave it in the mail box, she goes straight to the office and drops it off.

yeah, this new guy sucks. wears a "du rag", surgical mask, latex gloves, always screaming into his corded ear piece / microphone phone thingie. he replaced my old mailman, his first week
was the week before christmas. he gave me a christmas card with a written note that he does accept tips, and verbally reminded me about tips twice that week (as i used to meet him at the
door a couple times a week. i told him i also gladly accept tips, he got all

after that. he walks through my yard instead of using the sidewalk (there is a foot trail in my grass where he walks
and has killed the grass) cutting through my carport. i think he tries to rile up my dogs, which doesn't take much. maybe i am asking to much, and i should just be thankful for the mail that i do get.

email sent to daddyfungus @ customerservice

hey guys, i gotta say your customer service seems to be top fucking notch. i have been doing the majority of my AR business with another company, every day there is a shitty review of their customer service. when i didn't receive my order from you guys i thought "oh shit" here comes the run around. i called monday, and someone answered right away. "scott" was friendly and reassured me it would get taken care of. i was contacted wednesday by "daddyfungus" and told to contact him if i didn't get it by friday. just emailed him and within 30 minutes he replied to that email, i just called in and gave "neil" my cc info for a refund. for a shitty first order (no fault of yours), it has been a great experience. this is what customer service is supposed to be. i look forward to doing business with you again.

OP you also need to go down & complain to your postmaster about this du-rag scheisskopf. I doubt you have seen the end of your problems with him.
BTW, next tine you see him ask how he likes that new barrel

glad to hear you were taken care of.

I had a similar experience with UPS once. luckily I have cameras aimed at my front door and garage, so when I told them I can send video to a supervisor, they seemed VERY interested in helping me. you may want to consider a small system...... (I bought mine mainly to watch the bears come through LOL)

the lorex 720P systems are pretty nice. I just set a 16 camera system up at work. my home system is a digimerge 8 camera system, but it's older with less resolution. it serves my needs for now though.

i'd stay with a wired system for reliability, ease of installation, and security reasons.

thanks aim, got my refund today. off to buy my 2nd choice barrel now. again guys fantastic customer service.

as for update on mailman - he was not wearing a du rag, sunglasses, surgical mask, or latex gloves yesterday nor was he busy talking on the phone when he came to my house.
he may never deliver any packages to me again, but it will not be because he was distracted
