Purchased a sword off a fellow member here who I'll keep nameless as he did nothing wrong. Had it sent to my work so it wouldn't be sitting on my front porch for 4 hours, plus all the packages come to me first where I work. And it showed up Tuesday empty with the end sliced cleanly open like a box cutter..anyone else ever have this happen? I started a claim with fedex I guess that's really my only option.

Sounds like your gonna have to go to one of their locations, I've seen some weird stuff but an empty box.. I would think it would have to have fallen out just before delivery maybe on the truck and the deliver is the most incompetent one they had, like how do you deliver a empty box that's open? Wish you luck on it.

Wish you luck on it. It's the same driver everyday here, I talked to him yesterday. Said he thought it was light but didn't notice it had a cut in it. It was in a scabbard, and the box was taped all around in every direction so I'm sure it didn't fall out on its own not a huge deal, only $250 bucks, just hoping i get somethin back from fedex 🤷🏻♂️

I've had this happen with a RIFLE once. I obsessively packed it and sent it to a gunsmith for some custom work (yes, this was legal without using an FFL as the sender). FedEx delivered it all the way to the FFL even when it had been opened on both ends and rifle, packaging, and all had been pushed out. The FFL did not accept the parcel and he and I both started a case with FedEx. I also called the ATF to try to report a stolen firearm. They said there was a form to do this online but it was oprional. Translatiom, ATF didn't care.
I got no movement until I got a State Police officer on the case. That made it a sufficiently hot item to hold onto that someone miraculously found it in one of their warehouses. Fedex returned it to me in a terrible package. They packed it so badly that the muzzle was sticking through the cardboard.
Fortunately, it still drove tacks. Sold it later to a fellow with access to what used to be a private airstrip. He was very pleased with the tight groups out to 1k yards.
Short version, if FedEx blows you off you might talk to your State Police and see if they would look into it. If you state that it isn't just about stolen property, but concern that someone may be trying to steal weapons for prohibited persons they may have sufficient interest.

Oh man, that's terrible. Do keep us posted. +1 for contacting law enforcement to motivate FedEx.

Just a point of clarification...FedEx did not steal your sword, one of their pos employees did..., Which means Fedex stole his sword, a employee always works on behalf of the company at this level. And yeah when you start putting state police or an actual serious sheriffs office in on it, they will make it a hot item, and when the delivers name and the company name is attached to a crime, and especially if you call their cooperate and flat out tell them I can almost guarantee you it will come down the pipe like an avalanche I know that for a matter of fact. Serious thankfully that wasn't a albion munich or anything like that .

I suggest you contact the sheriffs office and ask a detective about it or maybe find a friend who is an attorney.

Yes, I was right, That's what I said, FedEx is financially responsible for the theft of the sword by an employee, because the employee works on behalf of the company. I wasn't saying it was a company wide thing of course, it's a case by case basis, I wasn't saying the company plotted against him, lol. And detectives don't really take that sort of thing either, unless it's something pretty serious and expensive, that's petty theft since it's worth less than I think it's $500, state laws come in at that point really. But I wish him luck on it, and a attorney for a item that costs $250? Yeah no. A good attorney is like many thousands, unless you want a public pretender as their called here, otherwise known as a public defender. Sometimes going in with sheriffs deputies into a establishment, asking where their stuff is really gets them going on it, that's happened many times around here throughout the past, but it just depends on where your at and what their reputation is. But again I wish him luck on it.

NO FedEx did not steal his sword. And yeah when you start putting state police or an actual serious sheriffs office in on it, they will make it a hot item, and when the delivers name and the company name is attached to a crime, and especially if you call their cooperate and flat out tell them I can almost guarantee you it will come down the pipe like an avalanche I know that for a matter of fact.
^^^^ I have no idea what this rambling thought is supposed to convey. No, you are wrong. FedEx is financially responsible for the theft of the sword by an employee. FedEx did not steal the sword. I suggest you contact the sheriffs office and ask a detective about it or maybe find a friend who is an attorney. Yes, I was right, That's what I said,NO that is NOT what you said. See YOUR quote above. And detectives don't really take that sort of thing either, unless it's something pretty serious and expensive, that's petty theft since it's worth less than I think it's $500, state laws come in at that point really. But I wish him luck on it, and a attorney for a item that costs $250? Yeah no.

But again I wish him luck on it.Law enforcement involvement is based on the nature of the item stolen (firearms, pharmaceuticals etc...) and its value in determining under local but most likely state law, if the theft is a misdemeanor or a felony. The classification of the crime and the presence or non presence of insurance coverage will dictate how aggressive law enforcement is likely to pursue the criminals. See underlined comments above...
