FedEx

Three packages from Palmetto State Armory were supposed to be delivered to me today via FedEx.

I saw the FedEx truck a few doors down from me when I was driving home.

Three packages from WalMart were on my porch when I got home.

Needless to say, they weren't mine. But I'll say it anyway.

I loaded the packages up and took them the aforementioned few doors down to the correct address, where the FedEx driver was just leaving after telling the proper recipient of said packages that they must not have gotten loaded onto the truck. 

He sat there in the driveway as I went to the front door, knocked, asked if the occupant was in fact the proper recipient, and went back out to the car to unload the packages. Then he drove away... in the opposite direction of my house.

My packages are now scheduled for tomorrow.

I wonder if the driver is smart enough to realize that the three packages I took out of my car as he sat in the driveway were the same ones that he left on my porch.

Part of me hopes that he's not, and that FedEx has to pony up for the cost of the contents of the three packages that they miserably failed to correctly deliver. 

Anyway, my packages will get delivered too late for me to play with before I have to go to work this weekend.

They damn well better show. 

I have two packages (one from PSA and one not) that are due to arrive tomorrow via UPS. Let's see if they do any better.

(The status for the PSA package says that UPS is not yet in possession of it as of this posting, so I will be very pleasantly surprised if it shows tomorrow. I'm guessing Monday at the earliest on that one.) 

UPDATE: On Friday, UPS delivered and FedEx did not. Once more, on the truck out for delivery, delivery not attempted, try again tomorrow. On Saturday they finally delivered. Two days late, but I guess better late than not at all.

Now I have the barrel, the delta ring assembly, the gas block and tube, and the forward grips. I also have the armorer's tool. I can assemble what I have, and then I'm only waiting on PSA to give my bolt carrier group, charging handle and flash suppressor to UPS so the final parts can be delivered. Then, I'll have another toy to play with.  

UPDATE II: UPS has my package, the final pieces should be here Wednesday. I'm going to have a busy weekend...
