That tan and satin looks damn good together.
Nice trio!
Sadly no, not that I've heard. That was exactly what I ordered as I think it looks the best, but I listened to the advice of others who said that the canvas micarta was easier on the hands when under heavier use (more shock absorbing). They said the G10 was not as forgiving, so I caved and got black canvas micarta instead.Anybody get a black G10 and satin yet?
Anyone ever had any shipping troubles with UPS?
I was supposed to receive my AFBM on Thursday but it wasn't delivered to me. As far as the signature, it said it was signed by "TR". I have a roommate, but he wasn't home at all on Thursday and his initials aren't TR. I live in a small community of townhomes, and I assume it was delivered to the wrong townhouse. I filed a claim/investigation but haven't heard anything back from UPS about it yet. I hope this gets settled soon, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience, and can let me know if they have any info or experience they can tell me about what to expect.
Thanks
Really if you have to sign why aren't they looking at ID's? I know not everyone can spot a fake but who's making fakes for possible deliveries for their neighbors stuff anyways?
No, there is no management office.Townhouse Rental/Management office on premises there?
...
For some reason UPS just drops @ my home w/o signature these days, & their "proof of delivery" is them just stating that they dropped it here & my last name...lolI wonder how a sig required insurance claim would be resolved..a tad unnerving with expensive Busse packages, but it is a decent urban neighborhood, & my porch is less than convenient for the average package steaing pirate...

That's what I'm worried about. I'm on very good terms with my usual USPS driver, but not so much with my UPS & FedEx drivers. I live in South Florida and my USPS guy has been the same for the 10+ years I've lived at my place. FedEx & UPS are different almost every time. I'm worried that a neighbor accidentally got it and opened it (once before I received a package for my neighbor. I was expecting a package, so I didn't even look at the shipping label, opened it up, and said, "what the eff is this!". I then brought it over to my neighbor and apologized. Luckily it's was a pair of women's shoes and she wasn't mad at me. I'm worried a shady neighbor got it, opened it up, and said, "I'm keeping this!"We have great UPS service here, and have had only one problem in 30 years. Our regular driver was on vacation and the temporary driver delivered to the neighbor one mile behind us. When I called the regular driver at home he explained about the vacation and fill-in driver. He said he would check into it and let me know what he found. The next day our regular driver and the temporary driver showed up here with my package which had been opened by my neighbor. Apparently the scumbag was going to keep it (a Cold Steel sword) if nobody followed up on it. Kudos to our UPS driver and curses to my scumbag neighbor.
Nice! Still waiting to get dinged on my satin and black G-10 order. The anticipation is killing me.
