Sell it on eBay. They're quite spendy.

So somewhere a Freightliner repair shop just got a new Crossman Rifle.

I’ve had good luck with shipping. It’s the sellers that sometimes messes up. These are my most recent shipments and I know they have arrived while being 200 miles away. We don’t have porch pirates where I live. Most residents have a shotgun and a backhoe.

I am still trying to figure out if my post master is dim witted, or has a sense of humor…

One of our members here was kind enough to ship me a hunk of metal. I figured I’d go see if it was in my PO Box today. It was. But how to get it?

Luckily, a Winchester happened by to free the incarcerated Marlin!

I tried to pry it out a few times, but no go. Then I remember I have a cheap Winchester knife in my truck. That cheap knife has saved the day a few times. It has stayed sharp from the factory for years. Amazing out of a $15 knife!

I have to admit when I'm wrong. I was very wrong about how difficult it would be to take care of the problem in shipping with my new air rifle.
I called Crosman yesterday, explained the situation, sent photographs of the box and what I received and with 10 - 15 minutes, the woman at Crosman called me back. They were going to send me a rifle. She confirmed I got the email with her ordering it for me. I got the email and thanked her.
Today, UPS rang the bell just before noon. I was handed a shipping box from Crosman that had a new 3622 inside. What fantastic customer service!
It's a shame it's Saturday and Crosman is closed now, I'd be on the phone looking to talk to who is in charge there.

Thank you Deb at Crosman. Great job!
