he said that they had a live round go off the other day coming close to injuring 2 staff members so they are a little touchy at the moment when it comes to ammo

just thought it put that up just in-case anyone is planning on sending ammo illegally

I think I read another thread here a while ago about this.
They must be rough if the ammo goes off.

But if you look at the prohibited items list for nz post, I think that any firearm, part or ammunition or part of is prohibited items to send.
Yet they happily allow us to send the stuff which is a bit odd.

They won't stop me sending a gun but they did stop me sending a coin which they deemed collectible. I thought that was a little odd.

They are strange with those things.
I always wrap in card now so they can't feel what it is
