Best way to post GBB RIFs?

[-Archer-]

Hi guys, I've been hearing things about some GBB's being posted then stopped and destroyed. Firstly, Am I hearing correctly and if so is there a recommended method/service for posting to get around it?

I'm going to be listing my Vector soon, I don't really want to risk it without knowing the situation.

Thanks

Do not use Royal Mail. If they think there is a pressurised container i.e. a gas mag in the package they will destroy it.

ParcelForce 48hr are the only company that will insure RIFs. Though will not accept Gas mags, then again some people have sent via PF and been fine, some have and lost their items.

UPS Will accept RIFs but im unsure if they will insure them they will also accept gas mags.

My Hermes will accept gas mags providing they are void of all gas.

Best way is to contact one of the companies above using the Live Chat feature then screen shot the page.

Definitely not royal mail. They destroyed a shipment of mags I sent recently despite being purged and individually packaged in original boxes. If you're sending them with a RIF they can also destroy the whole shipment despite their literature suggesting that 'safe' items will be separated and sent on. Pretty much stole a brand new boxed 1911 from me.

Received a GBB sent via MyHermes no problems the other day. Mag was included with no gas.

If you send a GBB/GBB mags via RM. I would say send mags separately, remove valves/mag base internals and run a zip tie through the holes. There would be no doubt as to whether they were pressurized.

Iv sent a gbb pistol using exspress 24 with parcel force and it got the OK, will say I was worried it wouldn't get there... My Hermes are OK but confirm a phone number an a safe place in case there not in as you only have to google it to find horror storys of what some of there drivers have done in the past....

I've used RM to post Gbbr's before. Never had a problem with delivery.
