    I was sitting on the couch earlier like 4:30 pm and I see someone walking up to the door threw the side glass and hear a !!CLUNK!! "what is this crap its heavy" so I go to the door and My u.p.s. lady was trying to carry all three box's up to the door and dropped 2 of them, well looks like my shipment from aim surplus and cheaper than dirt showed up today. 400 rds of dag 7.62x51, 1 full crate of 5.45x39 2,160 rds, and a 300 rnd can of maylay 7.62x51. the seal on one of the 5.45 sardine cans was already punctured so i went ahead and opened it to check it out it was all good and smelled like 1982 russia.

    Oh I have no doubt I've seen pictures of people with tractor trailers in front of there house having to use pallet jacks to move it, I wish I had that kind of moola. I just thought it would be an entertaining story to share.

    It is - and glad ya did! Think the worst one I've done so far was a Group Buy of some ammo a few years back.....let's not get too detailed (in case the 2 UPS trucks that hadta deliver it all are readin' this), but it took 2 of their trucks 2 days to get it all here - the place I bought it from had some kinda killer deal w/UPS - so 300 or so boxes at 50 lbs/box....... They tried to get away w/dropping it off at the curb. I pointed out the "adult signature" requirement, and told 'em I'd open the driveway so they could back up to the garage - but they WERE gonna put it all in the garage if they expected me to sign for it.

    Yeah....an' ah swore it'd be the LAST GB ah ever did. Turned into a PITA ClusterF* when a couple of 'em started whinin' that they found "better deals" online......even though it didn't include freight, etc. Finally got rid of 'em by refunding their money - the sweet revenge was when their "deal" evaporated with "adjusted prices/freight/etc." and they wanted back in on our deal. I didn't have to say a word - others on that board ripped 'em new ones before I could even answer.

    My little skinny mail lady knows every time I order bullets. At first she couldn't figure out why that little box weighed 27 pounds. She finally figured it out.
