Man Orders TV Through Amazon, Gets Assault Rifle

[jonnyc]

To add another pet peeve to the incident, the reporter called it, a .223 rifle, a "High-Caliber Assault Rifle". I know, they are ignorant, but still.......

Maybe Amazon was out of that particular model tv, and reserved the right to substitute for equal or better value.

Some guys have all the luck...

wow

This kinda thing never happens to me. That would have been one awesome TV purchase.

"What if a kind opens the package and shoots someone with an UNLOADED FIREARM" That would be quite a freak accident.

The bottom line it was first the Gun dealers fault. They should have made sure the label was attached securely.

I have applied and seen UPS labels fall off when not pressed on proper on certain cardboard textures or other tape under them. If you just slap it on (as I have done) it may not stick very well.

Then UPS should take one moment longer to open a box with no label to make sure the found label matches any invoice inside.

So bottom line when you ship anything personal or part of your job . Make sure the label is secure.
