Last week (for the first time in 18 months), primers were for sale. I immediately order some. I miss on the first go around because by the time I get my address changed they were no longer in my ‘cart’, they were sold out. I wait a couple of days and bam! I order them! Well hold on, when I changed my address Brownells changed my ‘shipping’ address, but not my ‘billing’ address. Well that should still work right? They got the shipping address?

Well when delivery was attempted Saturday, Brownells hadn’t bothered to tell me that “adult signature required“. I wasn’t home! First primers in a year and a half, they’re at my doorstep and they’re not delivered?? How was I supposed to know a signature was required?? If that’s standard procedure, why don’t you tell people?

Then I got to thinking, if they attempted delivery at “10:39 am”, why wasn’t there a notice on my door? Did they actually attempt delivery at the old address? Of course you can’t just call the local Fed Ex office, you have to call a 1-800 number! The local office won’t be open till 9 am Monday. The first primers in a year and a half and I can’t get them! You took my money without a hitch, you figured out how to do that, you just can’t figure out how to give me my damn primers! And all this is for damn small rifle primers, of course you don’t have the coveted small pistol primers. So I have to pay ungodly sums, for the wrong thing, and I can’t even get them delivered!

[10/4 update: The primers were left on the doorstep Monday afternoon. I don’t think Brownells got what they/me were paying for when they shipped though Fed Ex. If it required an “adult signature” on Saturday, why wasn’t an adult signature required on Monday? They just left it then. And if they brought the package to Ames Saturday, why wasn’t it left at the Ames office? Why would you take it back 50 minutes to Grimes? And who attempts a package and doesn’t leave a notice? I don’t think it was brought to Ames on Saturday. Oh, and the very day after I order the small rifle primers to make do with them, small pistol primers are on their site.]
