Airsoft Gun Shipping

[trojanhorse]

Want to ship my airsoft gun to a technician to fix. What's the cheapest and alternatively whats the best courier to use on a job like this. Just want to know couriers that would actually allow posting of RIFs...

Ipostparcels

Re: Airsoft Gun Shipping

Thanks for that, any other couriers? that would cost around £8 to ship so a total of 16£. MyHermes also ship but for around a fiver, so to and back would only cost a tenner - do they allow guns?

Also under Ipostparcels terms and conditions it states they do not post replica, imitation or blank fire arms.. airsoft is a replica right?

Realistic imitation so yeah, cant go with them.

Parcelforce via the post office. They're obliged to carry anything legal to own and not dangerous to transport.

Just take a prohibited items list with you, most post offices don't know their arse from their elbow.

Use the 48 hour service, its cheaper.

They're practically the only carrier that actually state they will take RIFs. It's either that or go with someone else knowing it wont be covered in the event of loss or damage.

Re: Airsoft Gun Shipping

Parcel Force are THE ONLY courier which will knowingly carry and insure RIFs of the general public. Retailers might be able to use other couriers, but they have business accounts with them. My Hermes will destroy a RIF if they discover it, and if something goes wrong, you are stuffed.

Honestly, your moaning about spending £25 to send a RIF worth several hundred?!!?
