What postal service do you use to send you guns?
19 August, 2010, 19:03
As per title, what postal service do you use to send your guns? What is generally cheaper? Sending a heavy gun (m14) don't know what will be the easiest + cheapest postal service to send it by?
Thanks for the help guys.
Cheers

I used to use parcel force until i remembered my friends dad uses a courier at fixed rates (£8) which is APC so now i use them

Its understandable if it took 2 days as if you took a parcel to parcelforce/post office after the parcelforce dude has left for his journeys it will take 2 days but then you should be quicker :P But i dont know why it took them 3 days. :P

heh, I think the main problem may have been the crossing of the England/Scotland border.
Two sets of customs?? both England
and
Scotland?

Royal mail 1st class parcels can sometimes be cheaper than parcel force, though probably not for something as big/heavy as an M14. Just take it into the post office and ask them to give you the different prices.

Small guns and gear royal fail
Bigger guns parcel farce with their package football team
although ive had no problems, only time i did is when royal mail blatantly opened a envelope with screen shields in it and they thought it was money, blatant rip marks as well.
And my mates parcel was kicked the crap out of my parcel farce.

Other way round for me, ive posted stuff 48 hour they get in 24 hours O-o yet everything ive had received from people by 48 comes in 48 its annoying.
shows the quality of service of different areas though.
