Themacclad Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I recently posted one via parcel force. They didn't even ask what was in the package .................. Wouldn't worry about it, just send it "sign on receipt" for an extra £1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) There are no issues about sending an air rifle in the post, there may be issues with gas cylinders or reservoirs and there are possibly issues around selling through the post, but the simple action of shipping an air rifle from one party to another is perfectly legal and acceptable! If parcel force have their own rules you will have to talk to them to check! Edited July 31, 2010 by Dekers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lottie Dave Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Yes Kev. You are quite right to describe it as sporting goods or equipment. The word gun will send off alarms and cause grief. I would, if it has a scope, remove it and wrap it up well with foam, poly chips and such. Include it in the parcel. As someone else pointed out, this can be done privately. It is no longer permissable to order air rifles by mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
