This only took a few years off my life tonight!

I recently did a trade deal with Omar, after many many texts. His rifle for mine etc. I ask if he wants rifle in the pelican case boxed up to ship. Tells me "no, just zip tie the shit out of it, it'll be good to ship without box, its a case afterall." So I do as instructed, look for as many possible places to secure the pelican, double zip tie everything, tape the whole damn thing and hinges REPEATEDLY and UPS her off on her merry way.

I get a phone call from Omar tonight, "hey man whats up yadda yadda" "We got a problem, that rifle you shipped, only thing left in pelican is some torx head wrenches and the bolt, rifles missing!" "Did you even bother to zip tie it up? Wasn't a damn thing on the case!" Now comes my heartattack! After explaining the pain staking details I took to make sure it was secured, and trying to figure what the proper procedure for figuring out what to do, talking to UPS, apologizing profusely and vowing to make it right on my end. Omar kept his cool and was pretty chill. (that shoulda been my first clue looking back) He lets me go on for the better part of 10 minutes apologizing repeatedly. After we agree that I will get the ball rolling on my end on to as what needs be done to get matter resolved and I will get in touch with UPS, and since its a hub, get back with him tomorrow evening. He goes one more thing man "rifle is awesome, I'm just fucking with ya"...that was almost 3 hours ago, my heart is still not back to normal.

Well done Omar, heres your Oscar! Ya BASTID!

Speaking as someone who has done a rifle for rifle trade with a complete stranger, that ain't right. It is a huge leap of faith to ship your baby off for a rifle you have never touched before. I haven't been burn yet, but I am puckered up until I hear from the other party that they are happy because I still care what my name means.

That just ain't right(slight smirk on my face as I type this).

Unless the person was a personal friend whom I had a relationship with, I would't be comfortable with such a prank. Especially extended like that. But perhaps he's your buddy, in which case let the shit talking begin.

TTR


This. If you know him personally, then its cool.

If some random guy who the only time I've dealt with him was this sale did that, fuuuuuuck you!
