Thread: Couriering a rifle

I sent a rifle from Oamaru to Christchurch via Fastaways and it cost $68 , then I sent another rifle to Auckland via Fastaways and it cost $78. The buyer of the Auckland rifle got a quote from his local Fastaways to send the same rifle to Oamaru and it was only $35. I went and asked at the local Fastaways agent what was going on and they showed me the charge rates set by the South Island franchise owner and his charges were what was quoted. I then managed to get out of him that the South Island franchise owner based in Christchurch was anti guns and if he had his way they would not even be shipping them hence the ridiculous price.
I have never used Fastaways since nor will again.
