spready Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 What does your local RFD charge to post out a gun for you ? I've just been quoted £85 to send a rifle and scope!!!! £50 for postage , £35 for paperwork! Sounds abit expensive? If anyone knows anywhere in north Hampshire cheaper, can you let me know 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimmie Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 It has all gone up, my local WAS £20 to send, now £35. Still £20 to receive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Both Daf (Welshwarrior) and Mick (Wabbitbosher) provide a great friendly and very reasonable service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 £37.50 to receive a firearm to my RFD friend, but nothing to add it to my licence, although I always pay him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR1 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Definitely use Daf. My guess is the other quote came from a part time shop in North Camp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I pay £25 to receive a gun, it was the same to send but I have been told that the price has gone up a lot to send, but this is secondhand info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spready Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'm using Daf, cheers all the advice guys! The other shop was Fultons of bisley! I'll be avoiding them like the plague from now on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Fultons have a name and history and a couple of people who know what they are doing. They are also clueless at times, give duff advice, rely on their name, live in the past and simply don't understand customer service.

Jay_Russell Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I sent a shotgun to a member on here just a few weeks ago. It cost me £50 which included my rfd boxing it up and sending it. My other rfd couldn't do it because they were changing to parcel force and hadn't set there account up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I post myself using Royal Mail. Costs around £20 depending on weight. Just keep the size dimensions within their limits: plus read the Royal Mail website section "Guns for sporting use" Using a mailing tube is better for length restrictions.
