Chances are very very slim that something will happen. Think of all the packages moving around right now.

I wouldn't be worried about anything breaking on a TES, I'd be worried when you get it out of the box and start to gas it up. :P

I've shipped $1300+ markers without insurance via UPS, I don't think you'll have any problems...

If it was packaged well you have nothing to worry about. But then again I ordered some headlight covers and the box was smashed....so was the covers.
Although they weren't packaged well. If they had proper packing materials around them they probably would have been fine.

I'm afraid that they'll open the package because its a gun after all when it goes through the scanner and since its not insured they might take stuff. Man this is really screwed up.
Thanks for your views guys,

I used to work at UPS. Did you put your gun in a plastic bag? Otherwise there is a good chance it will get wet and ruin the electronics. You can't do anything now other than cross your fingers and hope for the best.

wow, usps cant say that i blame you for worrying about your gun
i have just ordered a bolt that is comming by usps (diddn't get insurance either:eek: ) the thing is already 3 days past its due date, and the people at usps have been unhelpful in helping me find out just where my package is....YAY!(sarcasim).
but look on the bright side, lets say there is a 1in sumthin chance that usps will mess up your package well the udeniable fact that mine has already been screwed up makes less of a chance that yours will :D

I ship stuff uninsured all the time. Never had a problem with stuff breaking.
Guns, however, I usually ship w/ insurance.

That's one case out of a lot. I've shipped TONS of stuff over the years and never had a problem with anything.

When I sent my Angel to TAG, I insured it for what it was worth. I'm poor and I don't like loosing money... at all.

most shippers ups,us post office some times when you ship stuff they automatic place like 100-250 dollors of insurnace on your package.so some cheap stuff like a hopper not worth it but once you go over there min insurace covarge is better to ad the 5-10 extra to cover your marker.

UPS atomaticly insures there shipments up 100 dollars. then you got to pay extra.
