my rod came in a shipping tube missing an end cap!!

I was on then phone with work when I walked into the house.  just talking and I looked at the rod my wife placed in the hallway. I thought, "hmmm, the end cap is black". wait..second look, "the end cap is missing!"

I pick it up.  snap a photo in case I needed evidence.  and I told the caller, I had to go.  I look inside and my rod is still there!!!  most shippers typically tape on end to the cap so it doenst slide out.  I go to then other cap to see, and my wife lifts the tube and the rod slides out.  waaaaahhhh!!  I got lucky!!  I quickly check the rod and it is correct and seems undamaged.  I return the work call and finish up that business. 

afterwards..I noticed. the seller forgot to tape one end.  it's not like I orders an UGLY STICK.  hahahha...

I got lucky.  sent the store an email, so they know.  but whatever.  this rod feels "LUCKY" already!!!

My story wasn't as good as yours-





I bought this new Fury off of eBay, and as soon as I saw the tube, I knew. It almost had to be done on purpose with where its broke. Anyway, I came up on the short end. USPS said the seller had to file paperwork. I went back and forth and never got any satisfaction. I reckon I need to send it in for a replacement. Suck city.

dang...

I bought a vintage .22 rifle that came to me like that.  the FFL guy called and asked, "did you buy a broken rifle to restore?"

me: "what do you mean?  no"

hahah..I called UPS and they felt the box went thru the conveyor sideways and stopped and the next box came at it like a battering ram.
