charlie caller 3,654 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Post office mate, 48 hr special delivery, it will cost around 15-20 quid, or giv A-B couriers a bell, I have used them before, very good they were. 1 Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,561 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Charlie - do you have to tell lies to the post office or A-B couriers also ? For that matter, is it better to lie to any of the couriers lads ? Reason I ask this is that I`m very tempted to send both of my FWB`s to Sandwell Field Sports and I thought - parcels to gunsmiths might make someone`s mind "click" if your not supposed to send an air rifle privately ? Thanks for any advice Quote Link to post
charlie caller 3,654 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 No sending an air rifle is perfectly legal via parcelforce 48 hr signed for, and A-B couriers are more than happy to transport sub 12 air rifles 1 Quote Link to post
tatsblisters 10,247 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Just make sure they are wrapped up well lads I work in a courier warehouse were parcels are sorted and to say they are handeld gently would be an understatement. Quote Link to post
mattwhite 1,993 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 I was put off telling porkys as parcel force said that all items are scanned and if it's a firearm of any description it gets pulled and unwrapped and then tested to make sure it's sub 12ftlb so I gave up. Just my luck for mine to be the one that gets held for weeks and damaged as well. Quote Link to post
