I have a great UPS story:
About five-six years ago Eric, the UPS driver, knocks on my door. When I answered he looked sort of pooped and asked me if I was a cop, and I said I was. He let out a “Whew” and said for me to follow him to his truck.
When we got there he rolls up the rear door and shows me a mangled cardboard box with two ammo cans and various loose bullets scattered all over the floor around it.
Apparently the ammo order I had placed with Sportsman's Guide; two cans of surplus .30-06 in Garand clips, 454 Casull and several boxes of other various and sundry calibers, had been poorly packaged loose in a box. The steel cans banged up the stuff and shredded open the other ammo boxes inside while making the outside box as soft as wet newspaper. Eric saw the address and knew I was a regular ammo-bullet orderer, so he did his best with the carnage and loaded it up to bring to me rather then send it back to the hub as defectively packaged.
Well, during his route the boxes shifted around more and apparently ripped open. When he pulled into the high school to deliver some new musical instruments he completely spaced the damaged box that was in the back of his rig. When he lifted the rolling door, he said a waterfall of ammo poured out of the truck right at the feet of two administrators and the band instructor...who completely flipped their Lids.
One threatened to call 911 while the other was calling for security to confiscate the stuff as contraband on school grounds. Eric said he started scooping up loose ammo and tossing it into his truck while assuring them this was being delivered to a local law enforcement officer. I guess this satisfied them, and after about five minutes of collecting cartridges scattered all over the walkway he high tailed it up to my house to drop off the order.
We both got a good laugh out of it, especially when he mimicked the face of the principal when her shoes were being pelted with ammo...If I remember correctly despite hundreds of bullets spewing forth onto the ground I was only missing one .454 cartridge, which is probably still rattling around the floor of the rig...
Stay safe!
