NZ Post up to frks, 2 month delay and told me that they won't deliver to WLG

These useless cnts are the worse I have seen in NZ in 20 years. Never dealt with any organisation this useless and politically fked up.
First advised me that my reloading gear and bipod needed a permit after 3 weeks of chasing it with customs.
Then 2 month after the customs released, I called everyweek to see where the fk they are upto with delivering my parcel to Wellington.
Got a phone call today saying that it has been sitting at customs for collection as NZ post would not deliver any firearms related items in their network.
I paid international express to get the parcel delivered to Wellington, now have to get someone to pick up and deliver to another courier service to get down to WLG.

How fkn ridiculous is that !!!
I ask them for a refund of my courier cost, they said " I'm really sorry, but Unfortunately ......"

I just want o rant about it.
Anyone else had the same experience?

yeah that makes no sence.... if its not a firearms then it should be deliered. I tried to send a carbon fibre stock last week, in box, never used etc... they said no they couldnt. so i re-wrapped it in another box and resent it.

And then they sneer at us when we say we're vilified and victimised for the March 15 police failure.

dont you feel safer tho?

I should have got the sender to lie and say it was carburetor parts or something none political to fit the safety requirements.

The country is seriously fucked up now. Just fucking ridiculous.

How would the NZ Post employees feel when they are just going through the process of what they have been trained to do and say on the phone to the customers when they know it's not going anywhere for the customer and no result will be given for 2 month. I called 10 times at least and spoke to the same employees at least 3 times. They sounded like trained robots just has the same reply: " I will send an enquiry through and expect to get a reply from them asap". "I understand your frustration, but unfortunately......."
For fucks sakes !!!

Was listening to a submitter yesterday afternoon. He mentioned the example of needing to get a leaf spring made for a shotgun.

Under the new laws, whoever he gets to do that would need to apply to the commissioner of police.

I guess my lathe and mill will have to be used for less "dangerous" activities going forward :P

Or you could make a fortune making replica parts that just happen to also work.

theres your mistake right there, dont let them off the phone till you know exactly whats happening
If they dont know ask to speak to someone in charge
repeat the process till you get a result.

all they want is to be payed a wage and for you to stop bothering them

Point out to them that this is a breach of the Consumer rights. They are being paid to provide a service. If that service is NOT being performed due to their decision and factors within their control, then you are legally entitled to a refund for the service that was not provided.....

Same thing happening to me with a used BSA stock from England.

A lot of gun parts are standard engineering spec screws, springs, take bedding pillars are just collet sleeves. You just need decent information available for the specs of individual parts, a good idea to sit down and measure / photograph every part first time you take your gun apart, for that day.

Sweden used to have a law you couldn't order a beer in a restaurant without also ordering a meal. You had to check if you actually wanted the meal that it wasn't one of the "reused" meals with cigarette ash, etc. on it. Own an air gun.

They pick and choose what is delivered, still get firearm related parts delivered by them from certain retail outlets.

I clicked "like" because it was a good point to raise about the inconsistency, but I actually wanted an "I despise this" button. )-:<

Lmfao. I sent my ammo from north island to dunedin for SI champs a couple of weeks ago. Was pretty cheap actually, 400 rounds and about 10 bucks posted. Had it sent back too. Same story.

Didnt declare it as dangerous goods because fuck nzpost.

I know this doesnt help you OP but fuck nzpost.

I'd like to see them found out it was explosives and shit themselves and close the main depot for the day and fuck up their whole postal system and delay everything for a week. hahaha..... that would be funny, wouldn't it !! I bet it will make the news too.
Just to tell the retards " look, we are doing our job of checking " .
