Mr.C Posted Friday at 07:35 Report Share Posted Friday at 07:35 Sent an air rifle to other day by Parcel Force 48 and arrived the next day but..... missus had to argue the toss with staff at the post office to the extent that they got out the rule book. Still agued that they couldn't send it until she pointed out the relevant exception. So, be prepared to argue and stand your ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted Saturday at 07:56 Report Share Posted Saturday at 07:56 if you have never posted an air rifle at your post office look up the rules and keep a copy or pic of the rules on your phone that way they cannot argue with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
