its a projectile, unless its tracer on incendiary its just an inert piece of metal. tell em to put down the u.n flag and do their job
That's an AI generated interpretation of their rules, not the actual rules.Quote:

I guess by bullets they mean projectiles, as they already have ammunition listed.
They don't mention brass, but I imagine they'd complain about that too.
You should send Nicole McKee and email, need to get NZ post to pull their heads in.
Anything that doesn't require a Police Permit should be fine to send, they can't just decide not to ship things if they don't like them.

I got pulled last year up by NZ Post when the parcel wrapping split open, so that one of the box of projectiles was visible. Fortunately it was only a 20 min drive to collect. If the parcel was better wrapped or only contained one box it would have been fine. Something to bear in mind when shipping comparatively heavy for the size items. Oh, I tried to reason with them about inert this and that but I have had more productive conversations with a fence post about staying vertical.
They have done something similar before with a package I sent out. Stopped it at Christchurch airport and I got a call from a police officer asking questions about the person I was sending them to and what they were going to use them for.
Not sure why he thought it was worth asking me whether the guy I've never met who bought some projectiles from me off of TradeMe was a would-be terrorist. Like I would know. The cop boxed them back up and passed them back to NZ Post who did eventually deliver them.
our local postie saw me packaging up a scope in the post office, gave me a wink and said "crossbow scope eh??"
no issues at all with him, was a good bugga too
Let me know if you need someone to grab them for you?Quote:

Surely a scope wouldn't get classed as a firearm part?Quote:

If you read what you can send via nzpost, there isn't actually that much you can send.
Reloaders Supplies use Aramex Couriers and their projectiles are always delivered the next working day :thumbsup:
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.Quote:

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's just all down hill from here sadly...

I couldn't even get a firearms shipped out of wellington last week gun city and hunting and fishing wouldn't ship it
And NZ post wonder why people have stopped posting with them.
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”Quote:
