Thread: Forwarding Firearms Parts From Customs

Apparently it was always the case that NZ Post did not carry firearms parts, but it was never an issue prior to the events of 2019. I had NZ Post deliver probably close to 100 packages containing gun parts, one containing an entire rifle, all from USPS via Auckland Airport. Then all of a sudden it's an issue.

We had problems enough at the shop well prior to 2019 ...actually prior to the earthquakes which shut the shop so prior to 2011. It got to the point that the owner could not post anything apart from letters as they "knew " he owned the gunshop so every parcel , personal or otherwise was refused because it MIGHT contain gun parts.....

Yeah exactly - NZ Post have disclaimers on all sorts of crap like cash or cash substitutes, jewelry, collectibles, certain fragiles and even some electronics as I found out. This may even prevent a claim from them from being paid out if they lose or damage the damn thing even though it's under their claim limit for value. They really are not an outfit I like using if I can avoid it that's for sure.
