I ordered my new Anniversary Submariner on the 27th. It was shipped priority mail on the 27th from Southern Cali to Texas. I still have not yet received it.

Gaijin · 1 July 2007, 06:36 AM

That is not good. Who or where did you buy it from?

Priority mail = next day guaranteed?

If so, kick up a $hitstorm.

roadcarver · 1 July 2007, 06:40 AM

You've got tracking??

EagleArmsHBAR · 1 July 2007, 06:47 AM

I contacted the store I bought it from and they said it was sent registered mail. They told me registered mail cannot be tracked. I guess it should be here Monday? Not unless the stupid mailman kept it at the postoffice without leaving a note on the door. I am very impatient. Good thing I insured the watch with the information given to me by the seller. So if it gets lost in the mail, my insurance company should cover it under my personal article floater policy.

mike · 1 July 2007, 07:03 AM

Regestered mail is by far the slowest method of shipment, usually 3 to 5 days.

That being said it is BY FAR the safest method of shipment, and the only one I use. It'll be there.

EagleArmsHBAR · 1 July 2007, 07:10 AM

Thanks, Mike, I feel better already.

I guess that means I have to cancel the flight to California and put away the Luger...j/k

Funny. As far as I recall there was a thread here just a few days ago about "Rolex Spotting" where a member stated he had seen a postman having a nice Anni Sub on his wrist

Bama · 1 July 2007, 08:48 AM

Congrats on the purchase. I understand how hard it must be to wait for it. Once I decided on the Sub LV I didn't want to wait a day. I'll tell you this - I believe you will not be unhappy when you do receive it. I've had mine since Thursday morning and have been very happy with it. Little concerned about the green bezel at first but not now. Nice contrast with the black dial and steel bracelet. Maxi dial is great. I just keep staring at it. Good luck! I hope it gets here soon for you.

Bama · 1 July 2007, 08:50 AM

PS.
Don't put away the Luger just yet in case it is not there by Monday. Maybe just put it back in the holster.

Thurnau · 1 July 2007, 09:15 AM

Traditionally Priority mail would be 2-3 days anyway. Most businesses that claim same day shipping will ship orders on the next day if it was ordered after a certain time.

Tombstone · 1 July 2007, 10:07 AM

Nice Luger I still have two mags with mine that had the wood base. I will post a photo for you.

EagleArmsHBAR · 1 July 2007, 11:05 AM

For those who are wondering, it is a 1918 Erfurt with matching numbers except the mag, which is WWII production.

Quality is timeless

EagleArmsHBAR · 1 July 2007, 07:29 PM

I cant resist. Here is a pic from long ago before the collection grew...

Gaijin · 1 July 2007, 08:06 PM

I hope your Rolex shows up. I'd hate to see you snap.

EagleArmsHBAR · 1 July 2007, 08:24 PM

I am a collector of many things...

astcell · 1 July 2007, 08:56 PM

Check the slide rail on the P-38's lower receiver. I had the slide come right off the back side of the pistol and shoot by my head. Tiny cracks and strong ammo will wear it out.

Love the 1911A1, best gun ever.

My first thoughts!

Angry and impatient people who are armed to the teeth always make me nervous.

*shudder*

EagleArmsHBAR · 2 July 2007, 01:51 AM

That P-38 is almost new. I think it was unfired before I got it and I only put 50 rounds through the pipe.

jaston · 2 July 2007, 03:39 AM

I live in Texas (Dallas) also....did you get a good price in CA? If so what dealer did you use?

vh_bu98 · 2 July 2007, 05:38 AM

I'm sure that you will get it this week, but if you really wanted sooner then next day UPS or FedEx would have been the better choice.

The LV is a nice Rolex although it does take some getting used to. Somedays I look at mine and wonder if I made the right decision and other days it looks great.

John Ireland · 2 July 2007, 06:35 AM

person who touches the package has to sign for it. It gets there. Probably will arrive Monday...and it also may not until Tuesday. I sent a watch from Los Angeles to Texas for service, and it took a full three business days.

My favorite .45 was a little Firestar compact...still can't understand why I sold it. It shot as straight as a full size Springfield Armory...fed everything I could put in it...only failed to feed once on a reload...ahhh well, I'm only torturing myself.

tonelar · 2 July 2007, 06:51 AM

nice collection Eagle Arms.. is the Luger an American Eagle? I've always liked those models.

EagleArmsHBAR · 2 July 2007, 07:34 AM

No, the Luger is not an American Eagle, it is a 1918 Erfurt (Imperial German) P.08 9mm.

I did ask to have the watch shipped FedEx or UPS, but they said they had to do it USPS to avoid something or another...

The store should have insured it for the retail value when shipping it - if it doesn't arrive, it should be no sweat off your back bcause THEY are responsible for getting your item to you.

tonelar · 2 July 2007, 07:43 AM

USPS express or priority should have been options as well... I bet you're wearing it by tomorrow...

Congratulations, by the way...

the LV is the bomb.

EagleArmsHBAR · 2 July 2007, 07:50 AM

I wish I could wear it by tomorrow. I hate having to sign for Post Office stuff because this is what happens since I have to work:

Day 1) Post office makes attempt #1 and leaves note on door
Day 2) Post office makes attempt #2 and notices that I request to pick up package at post office since they will not leave at door
Day 3) I dive 30 minutes (one way) through traffic, stand in line for half an hour, and waste an hour and a half off of work to go to the post office to pick up package.

So, if they attempt delivery on Monday, I will wear it Wednesday. All this trouble and I live 1 mile from a UPS distribution center that is open until 9:00 PM and will hold packages the same day that the attempt #1 happens.

Oh well, I will have it by NEXT weekend, hopefully.

EagleArmsHBAR · 3 July 2007, 10:29 AM

UPDATE: I got home today to see that beautiful sticky note on the door! The Rolex is waiting for me at the Post Office and I guarantee I will be first in line when they open at 8:00 AM! w00t, pics to follow!!!
