People .....you would not believe some of the stuff that makes it through USPS.....Don't assume anything about postal employees. Once I drove up on a female postal employee doin her boyfriend in a postal truck....there are plenty of other weird and amazing things that go on in the postal realm.

I used to work for evergreen. We loaded and unloaded 737s that brought in postal cargo. You wouldn't believe how much shit gets stolen. One guy was throwing shit over the fence he got about 15,000 dollars worth of electronics until the Postal service tracked down which terminal was losing items. I saw two airport police officers open a Kimber 45 case and switch out there sidearms for the two kimbers, its ridiculous what goes on.

Yeah, you're probably screwed. He sent the pistol, packaging got damaged, shipment was uninsured, so your gun and your money are gone. Nothing you can do.

True story, I shipped a dissasembled ICS MP5 through USPS. Some branches really don't care. The counter clerk saw what it was, and asked if it was real. I told him it was an airsoft gun, and he let it go. No big deal. Not the best method to ship, but it was what the buyer wanted. UPS didn't deliver to his house or some shit.

Could also do what I did and go to Postal Works or some other non-federal postal supply store which has scheduled pickups from the USPS, leave the replica in your car and walk in to let them know beforehand that you're bringing it in to ship.

Works painlessly.

Dam, that sucks man.

Contact your bank and put a stop payment on the MO.
Depending on how much time has passed there's a chance you'll have success.

Contact the guy's "old man".
In fact, that may be your best option.

Good luck!

If this "Extreme Rice" is the person I think it is, I'm rather sure I have his mother's phone number from a rather foul dealing with him 3-4 years ago, of course, that transaction was my bad. Not his.

So I may be making a nice little phone call tonight.

Edit- It seems I misplaced the number. :(

What is a 13 year old doing purchasing a airsoft pistol?? Your parents needed to be in on this... They should of been the ones doing purchasing. If they were involved I am sure this thread would of never existed...
Was this purchased off of the AP site Classifieds? If so we need to ask Matt to put up a "sticky", that states if you are sellers/buyers beware of 1) Underage Purchases and 2) Purchase at your own risk..
