Wanting to see a license is bullshit, components for making it are not classed as ammunition, Reloaders have always said they wont ship powder so I get my 70yo mother in law to get powder, primers and other bits and post them to me, never been an issue, and a size 1 post box only costs $3.50 to send way cheaper than them. Guess she doesn't look like a terrorist!

But getting your 70 year old mother to send powder is highly illegal not to mention stupidly dangerous.
Gun shops don't want ship powder round the country now because there is probably on one or two carriage companies that will move the powder and that comes at a cost. I recently inquire about getting 1kg out of Auckland to Tauranga and the fee for the dangerous goods permit was around $70 plus freight cost, and also the shop has the runaround of having to complete all the DG paperwork. So in my case it's actually cheaper for me to drive up there and get it or in this instance I was lucky enough to find someone heading my way a couple of weeks later who picked up my prepayed package and brought it to me. And anyone can do this as the picker upee doe's need a FAL
