Hi all
I went to send my firearm via NZ Post/courier to get the suppressor checked out (had to get a family member to di this for me as Im currently away) and they text me saying that it was refused as its now a prohibited item due new rules.
Is this new? How can I send it to where it needs to go?
What do you guys think?
Cheers
WW
Yeh i ran into the same issue. Fastways are fine with sending firearms. Use them often
I had the same issue. Was told that they randomly explode when dropped, rifles, when I argued with her and told her they shouldn't drop them in the first place she said she had seen the photos. I just repackaged it and labeled them as umbrellas and had no issues, strangely it didn't explode? Go figure.
But yeah fast ways will knowingly ship them but price goes up
Fastways. Make sure you tell them the bolt is packed separately/not included.
I wonder what they would do if they asked if the bolt was separate and you said no its a leaver action.

Don't do this^^, when the bolts get lost your guns are worthless:(Quote:

I keep it real easy and dont write anything on the box so its less likely to go missing. Also dont tell the lady what it is. If posible take the stock off and then it makes it smaller which saves a bit of money and looks less gun like
The courier simply needs to be assured you have not included the bolt.
I choose simply not two tell them:) when your bolt goes "missing" you'll thank me.Quote:

I send my rifles from hamils or H&F they usually charge 25 bucks and package the rifle as well.
Funny enough I just bought Neckshot's 260AI he's using H&F to ship to Nelson. I phoned the Nelson store yesterday to let them know it was coming and they ripped into me about how their stores aren't to be used for shipping firearms and they wouldn't receive it and shit, then the guy put someone else on and he said they don't want to be used as a courier service anymore but they'd let this one go. I thought it was a service they provided...
Contact your gunsmith and ask him who he uses when sending firearms back to the owners
Ask them kindly if they know where you can find a nearby "sports store" as you'd like to spend some moneyQuote:

So just do that.
I have sent and received a heap of firearms by courier through Post Shop, H & F and Fastways stores with no problems. Apart from the H & F shops I dont tell them what is in the package and they have never asked. I recenlty had a shotgun dropped off that was in the gun case and just a label with my address on it. That was different as the gun case was not packged in any way
never had an issue with fastways
Scully... making friends since,well never actually :DQuote:

All in a big box complete.......
Make sure you use a company that doesn't mind carrying firearms like Fastways, if they don't carry them & you have an issue & need to make a claim, forget it.
If you send the bolt separately you just doubled your chances of losing something making the other package nearly worthless...
Don't worry. Mot Gun Shop doesn't want your money.Quote:

Asked them to order me a .22lr AR15, was told they can't get them, but spoke to a guy on the weekend that has just ordered one from them.
Then this week asked them to order a CZ75 SP01 Shadow for me, was told there's none in the country and they can't get one for over a year. So ordered one from Reloaders,
Mot gun shop phoned yesterday to say they got me one and it's in store waiting.
At least they've got powder and projectiles in stock cheaper than I can buy online
I have never had a problem with nz post but I make sure it is plain wrapped and dont actually say what it is.
Do you what, next rifle I buy from you I'll wait for the Hercules to fly over so I know when it will be dropped offQuote:
