You don't need them to act as a broker for you. Just get a client code and Customs will bill you directly.

You seem to be refusing to accept the FACT that all of the LEGAL shipments of firearms and parts come through the normal means of international shipping.

Continuing to seek "clarification" of a companies policies will only lead to frustration and increased hassles.

Guide to ordering online:

• Contact the company you want to buy something from or in the case of Brownells, just click add to cart and complete the order.
• If the company won't sell it to you, they will tell you.
• If you need an export permit or End User Certificate, they will tell you.
• If you need an import permit, get it from the Police.

• Not sure if you need an import permit? Here's the NZPolice guide:

• If the company requests a letter stating that you don't need an import permit. Write one.
• If your order is over $1000NZD, get a client code.

Just order your stuff and let the people who deliver everybody else's stuff, deliver yours.

PS,
Don't call up NZPost when you get your stuff and question them on why they are not adhering to their own policies.
