Default Going crazy waiting for my gun!

I bought a renegade off of gunbroker the other day. The seller shipped the gun on monday. He lives in ohio and I live in virginia and he shipped it through usps. I was expecting it today but didnt get it, I feel like a kid on christmas eve. I cant wait! Ive already got plans to shoot on saturday or sunday(if I dont have to work) when and if I get it.

New guns are a bushel of anticipation. Waiting to get it. Waiting to shoot it for the first time. Waiting for a second session with another bullet/powder/sabot/sight.Waiting to take it hunting. IT JUST NEVER ENDS! But man, what fun.

I was wonder where that box came from the mailman dropped off. I sure hope it shoots as good as it looks.....
Don't worry, it will be there tomorrow. I'd bet money on it.

United States Postal Service has a way of loosing things. So don't get your hope too high. It should be there tomorrow.

REquest a tracking number from the seller if it doesn't show up in a couple of days. I find that UPS is the fastest . I ordered a New Trap gun from PA in the afternoon and UPS had it at my agents in Easton MD. at 9:30 the next morning

The seller give a tracking number, and the usps tracking system is not very good. Since monday it only shows that the order was accepted.

That USPS tracking number is as worthless as can be. I even told the postmaster that. I said the package gets to the house and the next day it tells you that it is being delivered... worthless. BUT should it be lost that is your one key to finding it.

I realize the USPS tracking Number stinks but it will show if the package was delivered to your local Post Office.The local office must scan the package when received and again when its delivered.

I know the feeling about going crazy about waiting for an gun. I was like that waiting on the gun MD worked on for me.

sometimes it just feels it take forever
