Smudger687 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Hello all Does anyone know of any couriers/delivery services that will transport assembled shotgun cartridges? I'd like to send some for testing and would prefer to avoid a trip to Birmingham to deliver them in person. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyshooter Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 The answer to this ( which i do not have ) may be scary. I needed 100 rounds of Sako 7 x 64 ASAP and i got quoted, by the RFD, 5 times the cost of the ammunition for the courier ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had quotes for over 100 pounds just to send 20 cartridges from a couple of companies. It's madness. I believe TNT used to deliver assembled cartridges back in the day but not anymore.

Last time I ordered from Justcartridges it was parcel force. Delivery driver was vile, he refused to lift them off his van or carry to the house. "Not my job" he quoted. I rang JC and put him on live CCTV. JC didn't give a damm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they weren’t off the van they weren’t delivered ,you should have complained to Parcelforce about the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just pointed out the CCTV and told him every word and action was recorded so he could take them back. I then waited by the door for him to decide. If he hadn't been an ***, I had my son and son in law waiting as part of the order was for them. They were going to load them direct into their cars. It took him a while to decide to unload and an even longer time to carry several thousand cartridges without help from kerb to house, all while we stood and watched. My son in law is a postman, said if I sent in the footage it would have cost him at least a written warning. Sometimes, taking no action is the right action. I doubt it altered his attitude but he'll certainly remember having to carry them and knowing if he gobbed off if was on camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
