I bought a new Smith and Wesson, and it has been having problems since day one. They are too numerous to say here, suffice to say that it took an entire page minus three lines at number 12 Font to tell what the problem was to smiths' smith. So I live about an hour and a half from their Springfield facility, which is where they do the warranty repairs. I cannot bring it directly to them. They are making me ship it FedEx, but at least they are paying for the shipping. Stupid, but I understand, here is where it really starts to grind my gears. Most FedEx facilities cannot ship firearms, and they won't insure it if you do not the declare verbally that it is a firearm you are shipping. The nearest FedEx that will ship it is approximately 4 hours away, & I have to drive through Springfield past the smith and Wesson factory to ship it. Here is where it gets really stupid, I checked the shipping today which is 2 day shipping by the way, and 3 days after I shipped it, it is in New Jersey? WTF? How does FedEx botch things up this badly? anyways, thank you for listening to my rant. Has anyone else had this kind of horrible service happened to them?

I went to an archery tournament in Las Vegas. Decided to ship my bow UPS to the hotel. I have an airline grade case. They would not insure it in the case unless the case was in a cardboard box. I could put the bow in a cardboard box without the case and they would insure it... Not horrible service but I don't understand why a cardboard box is more insurable than a high quality case.

Was that enough off topic?

It goes to show that rules don't always apply, and when that happens, common sense is not always applied to compensate for it.

Well wrapping your case in cardboard would stop the handles getting broken off like mine was.

Yeah, always was told to wrap it for protection to be safe!

If I was King the world would be a much different place.

I grew up on farms and there is way more truth to this than I would like to admit.
