Post Office marking firearm related items?

*spits coffee*

I was going to say don't spit the coffee, dunk your muffin in it. Then I thought better of it.

Could be a ZA, which is the ISO code for South Africa. Could be a part of a routing number or a group to go on a certain truck. Not necessarily an indicator of firearms.

Hope you didn't get any on your dress

Most likely a sorting mark. It most likely got sorted to the return address by accident, and then corrected manually. It's why your address was circled as the delivery address.

I'm not that limber.

Ah, crude, impertinent incivility. Just another beautiful morning on INGO. Thought we were supposedly a family-friendly forum? I can't imagine anyone wanting to expose their children to this.

So dunking your doughnut in coffee is okay but dunking your muffin is impertinent incivility?

It's a crass joke, is what it is, and not a terribly funny one, even.

I am truly sorry you are offended.

it is more than likely the route number for delivery service. my packages will have "36 Green" on them from UPS.

call or stop by your local USPS office and ask what it is. find out if others in your area are seeing the same thing.

post it on the Amazon (or website your ordered from) review boards.

The mark isn't done by Amazon. The shipping label isn't placed on the box my an employee, that is an automated process long after your box has left human hands, and the employee packing the items don't honestly know or care where or how it is getting to you. Its a routing mark done at the shipping company.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Sir, this is the internet.

Where a cigar is often a phallus.

The Clinton posts prove my point.





As for the OP (and shockly back on topic...), that is maybe strange. More likely "second attempt". See if it happens every time. Maybe they are an INGO member? There is a UPS guy that is known to write pro 2A phrases on packages of firearms related items. At least that is what the MA internets tells me....I am too worried I would break some rule ot order anything out here.

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

This seems to be the most reasonable explanation, I did receive another firearm related package from amazon today from a different seller, no marks on this one.

The post office wouldn't know what's in the box unless it had been declared up front as is required for shipping ammo, for example.
