caeser Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm sure somebody will be able to enlighten me on this subject. I just spoke to someone about a gun, and they were of the opinion that ,if he takes it a dealer to send it to me, then the rfd takes his £25 fee plus the postage fee of about £25, and then it gets posted to the rfd of my choice. Is this correct ? Then what happens at my end ? I just thought it was about £25, all in. But I've no experience with this type of deal, so really I don't know. I did try a search on this subject but failed miserably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly, the parties to the deal can decide who pays the RFD in what proportions. Those figures sound about the going rate to me. J.

caeser Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 So, if my rfd wants £25, then it'll cost £75 in total. Surely that can't be right is it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanL Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 So, if my rfd wants £25, then it'll cost £75 in total. Surely that can't be right is it ? Sounds about right; £25 for the first RFD to do the paperwork; £25 postage (might be a bit less depending on what it is); and £25 for the RFD who it's going to to do his paperwork on it. As I say, an RFD can charge what he likes and there is no requirement that they must do the work for you are any price. If you're a good customer then he might do it cheap or free. J.

caeser Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm definately not a good customer. 1000 cartridges every few months thats all. I will probably give this type of dealing a miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Normally, it's around £25 which should include the postage (around £10-12) Your RFD will normally charge £25 as well, so you should not be paying more than £50 total. Although, as mentioned, RFD's can charge what they like. For example, my RFD friend, does not charge me to receive firearms, but I always pay him something anyway. Steve.

phaedra1106 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Just asked local rfd for price he said £25 fee plus carriage of £15 Dare I ask who you asked?, I used Dave at Bow Tec in Birtley to get my 9mm shipped up here and he charged £15 to receive it and transfer onto my FAC. Got it from Roger Bill Shooting Supllies in Bromsgrove, £16 for next day delivery and no RFD fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
