Misc What’s your one firearm that got away?

Whether it was because the model ceased being produced, it was OIC’d the night before or a gunpost deal that fell through.

The Norinco 1911s that were $300 that "i could not justify spending the money on it at this time"

My buddy bought one of those and Canada post just left it sitting on his doorstep lol. Signature required my foot

I've had stuff that was "do not safe drop", safe dropped.

I've had stuff that was signature required be left without a signature.

I've had stuff not requiring signature, for some reason brought to the post office.

I've had drivers walk up to my door with the 'not at home notice' slips as their first attempt to which i need to confront them at the door and ask them where my package is for them to say "oh i rang the doorbell and no one came". Fun fact: I have a doorbell motion camera.

Recently I've had "notice left" slips show up on my door the day after I've already picked up my item at the post office the day before due to digital tracking. Again fun fact: I have a doorbell motion camera.

I'm at the point where i have 0 sympathy for Canada Post. The next time my item says delivered and there's no proof of said delivery I'm issuing claims.

UPS is not better. Shotgun was delivered with a signature from someone, certainly not me.
