    Courier Company

    Just about to list a Saiga 762x39 for sale on Trade-Me and was wondering which is the easiest one to use for shipping?

    Fast way. Package it so it doesn't look like a rifle and of course ship the bolt separately. Yeah right. But seriously, they've been good to me.

    Personally wouldn't ship the bolt separately.......believe me when I say it's an arse when the bolt gets lost

    I agree re not shipping bolt separately. But I tell the courier that's what I've done if they ask.

    Fastway lost a really fine rifle for me, and no refund yet. I still use them but never send a rifle where it will lye about over a weekend - I always send Monday or Tuesday.

    I've used H&F before to send rifles between stores.
    Makes the whole process very easy for seller and buyer.
    H&F sight FAL on drop off and at pick up so no need to get Police to sign form etc.

    but I didn't realize Christchurch had two H&F stores but it was sorted quick.
