Well, my approx. 1 year old HK P2000 is going back to the HK factory. I'm experiencing a problem when shooting where a pin (on the frame) would slide out of position. When it slides too far out (usually after a few hundred rounds), it interferes with the slide operation and jams the pistol.
This problem started many months back. I just didn't get around to it until now.

Unfortunately HK doesn't cover my shipping costs, so I needed to find a cheap and convenient way to send my pistol to HK...

And I decided to try my company's personal shipping service. Amazingly, they don't prohibit pistols, so I packed my gun and asked for FedEx next day. Based on past experiences of shipping thru them, I expect to pay around $10 (plus whatever FedEx charges for my $600 insurance).

I thought I'd just share this little shipping venue I found out. Generally, large companies let their employees use their shipping department (where employees just pay the company's rates, which is very cheap). The news is that pistols are allowed!

I use my companys UPS account to mail stuff all the time. Talk about a money saver.

Interesting. I got a call from HK regarding receiving my pistol and etc. one of the things that the HK person mentioned was that they normally return the pistol to the original shiper location, which in my case is my company. He asked if I'd like to have it sent to another location.

So, in case you go this route, you should tell the manufacturer before hand that you'd like thm to return it somewhere else... since they may not call you as HK.

Greetings--

One never knows what goes on a a company's receiving area. A former employer decided to open every letter that came in-- just in case there was a check inside. The same employer directed the receiving area to open each package received in case it was merchandise that was bought without the proper purchase order being issued. It didn't matter if the letter/package was addressed directly to a person.

We complained about the letter opening so much that it finally stopped. The package opening continued.

* chuckling* I can just see the elderly shipping/mail clerk there opening up a package with an HK in it.....

My employer's policy is more explicit than that. Every package that is received is checked for an invoice against a purchase order. If the paperwork is not in order, the item is sent back to the shipper.

It's a big company and there's no getting around this policy. We simply can't have anything personal shipped to the office.

When I had it, I used my company to ship my Kel-Tec P-32 back for repairs. I also used my company to receive my Kel-Tec back as there was a person over the age of 21 who would be able to sign for it during the day, negating the necessary trip to UPS (or FedEx) to pick it up as I would never have been home during the day.

My company was ok with it and they even packed it up for me. They also allowed me to charge the shipment on our company AR and it was simply deducted from my paycheck.

Doing this sure simplified things.

I also use the company to receive almost all of my shipments including cell phones and books that I purchase over the internet.

One good plus is I get them at work and in the case of the cell phone I can charge the battery before I attempt to use it.
