    Reloaders Supplies use Aramex Couriers and their projectiles are always delivered the next working day
    So nothing "prohibited" about them.

    Your lucky with that delivery time. It's taken a week once to get a parcel sent across town by aramax. A week to travel about 4km.

    Exactly, if it's fragile, collectable, tooling, worth more than the limit without insurance, valuable, cash money or an activated card, an engine part, a firearm related item, a piece of art or something related to anything they decide is 'bad' you aren't supposed to send it via them.

    Doesn't really leave much does it? One of the reasons I usually avoid sending things via NZ Post - too much faffing about and drama with them. If they don't break it, lose it or squash it in transit they'll give you grief about it.

    NZ Post is the operator of last choice for any fireams / ammunition related items. Just dont use them.

    NZ Post is the worlds leading freight and parcel company by a long shot. Their service is unrivalled. See all their awards in Noddyland.*

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    There is a business opportunity in amongst this nonsense for a non woke old bugger like me but it is hard to see how the business model would be profitable given our relatively small number and the expanse of our country. Easy to come up with a name though. I like “Gun Runner”. Maybe if I win Lotto I will invest in an old armoured cash truck and do it just for shits and giggles. I can see the sign on the back of the truck now. Gun Runner - flipping the bird to NZ Post since they got dumb and stupid”

    Talk to Temu, they can organise the delivery of a few dollars worth of stuff, from the middle of China and half way around the world in 3 or 4 days, they could sort this NZPost out.
