I have always used a local pawn shop to receive guns for me. They are friendly and always call me within a hour of receiving the guns.
A few years ago I won two high grade Parkers at the Julia auction and decided I'd better use Briley's to receive them. They arrived early Friday AM - I knew that from the tracking number. I called them around lunch and asked if I could come pick them up. I was told in a very lackadaisical 'Well, we receive a lot of guns and we don't know if those showed up yet or not.' I told them they had and politely suggested they get up off their ass and find them. I also pointed out that while they receive lots of guns, only a handful could be for FFL transfers - most are coming for for work and it won't matter if they don't get unboxed until the next day. I told them I needed the guns for a shoot that was the next day.
Finally, around 5PM I just drove there and coaxed them into giving me my guns so I could get them before the weekend. Never again.
So now I'm back the pawnshop with no complaints. They charge less, too.
