Will take longer, and will cost more as it isnt mainland GB.

Re: Sending to n.Ireland

No it wont.

Its GB therefore the same price and same delivery times.

Edit: Just to clarify I've bought and sold the vast majority of my collection too and from the mainland.

NI is part of Great Britain so it is the same delivery times and prices - no tax is added.

Re: Sending to n.Ireland

The VCR does not apply to NI.

But...

36 Manufacture, import and sale of realistic imitation firearms
(1)A person is guilty of an offence if—
(a)he manufactures a realistic imitation firearm;
(b)he modifies an imitation firearm so that it becomes a realistic imitation firearm;
©he sells a realistic imitation firearm; or
(d)he brings a realistic imitation firearm into Great Britain or causes one to be brought into Great Britain"

But the provisions for NI specifically state:

"(1)A person is guilty of an offence if—
(a)he manufactures a realistic imitation firearm;
(b)he modifies an imitation firearm so that it becomes a realistic imitation firearm;
©he sells a realistic imitation firearm; or
(d)he brings a realistic imitation firearm into Northern Ireland or causes one to be brought into Northern Ireland"

Re: Sending to n.Ireland

Well, because NI is not part of the UK

It's not??? When did that happen?

Re: Sending to n.Ireland

Well, because NI is not part of the UK[WHAT?????] it would be alright to send a airsoft gun there and it will not be held up. The VCR does not apply to NI[Sort of correct].

NI is part of Great Britain[No, it is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland] so it is the same delivery times and prices - no tax is added.

I suggest you go back to your geography/history textbooks.

You are quite right, though, that there are different regs in NI.

Re: Sending to n.Ireland

not when it comes to UKARA and the VCR bill, same rules apply.

royal mail do not charge more to post here, same as we don't get charged to post to you, we're not part of britain, but are part of the UK.

and your gun will arrive quicker here because royal mail NI has one of the best scores for royal mail regions so there!
