To be honest, and I am not getting at you personally, but I don't know why people are still using YouShop. You have just joined a long list of disgruntled customers of there service. The application of their policy is well documented for some time on this and the other forum.
They gave me the old dangerous goods treatment about 2 years ago for an item that wasn't in any way firearms related nor a dangerous good.
Your venting will only make u feel better but will have no affect otherwise. The outfit in Oregon is a huge worldwide freight fowarding contractor who just supplies the service to NZP (an similarly to Oz Post). At Oregon they also appear to have no firearm experts there so anything of doubt just gets the dangerous good label and the offer to destroy the item or to return to sender at your cost.
There were 2 other freight forwarders mentioned either on this or the other forum which posters praised but when I looked at their fine print they too covered themselves against firearm parts. No doubt other forum posters will be able to advise on alternatives.
BTW in the early days of YouShop I brought scopes and reloading dies thru them with no hassles.
