In this case I believe if the dipper is a registered dealer then you do not need a permit if you send from another dealer. The item is not changing ownership therefore does not need a permit or any need to check the license of the receiver.

Example. To send a rifle to trueflight you do not need a permit. You just need to drop into your nearest dealer who will send and then it will be returned to the same dealer for you to pick up.

I would ask the hydrodipping company or your arms officer. The Arms Act wording seems to limited to selling of a part, with no mention of other situations.

hi thanks all may just keep it not worth the hassel for the buyer unless they really want it

NZ Post or couriers move 5000 parcels the size of a cricket bat everyday around NZ.
