didnt think much of it but a few hours later i recieved this email.

Thank you for placing your recent order with Brownells (Web Confirmation

sent through the mail and must be shipped by UPS. Unfortunately, UPS

Post by: bighorns2bushytails on November 02, 2010, 08:18:08 PM: jamieb --- yes it was just a wrench there was nothing else on the order.

toothfangclaw --- the irony was that they told me the item couldnt be shiped via postal and had to be shipped ups and then ups refused to deliver to the po box that i had wanted to use when the shipping was originally set to be postal.

i contacted them via email and they sent the item postal and it arrived in my po box very shortly. they didnt say why i recieved the email but im assuming it was an error or an oversight on someones part.
