I don't have up to date info, so the best thing would be to email the Brownells international department. After USPS suspended delivery I checked out the other shipping options listed at Brownells checkout. Here's what I wrote into this thread: https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....sps-usa-76334/

...there's 'Parcel Post Priority Mail International' and 'Parcel Post Express' which are both USPS, but also 'UPS Int'l Expedite', 'Bax Global' and 'Truck/Ocean' which may not be affected by the USPS suspension.

Truck/Ocean doesn't sound promising. A quick google search doesn't look great for Bax Global - not sure if it's even a current option? UPS Int'l Expedite is probably still available, but the online UPS calculator shows it costing NZ$350 to ship a package 50x10x10cm of 1kg. 30x5x5cm is 'only' NZ$250. Probably Brownells UPS rates are different to those on the UPS website, but everything looks pretty damn expensive. Back to the drawing board...

I subsequently heard that UPS weren't delivering either. Brownells USA said they won't use FedEx. Perhaps they've sorted something out by now, but otherwise it's pretty tough. Maybe ordering from Brownells Australia if they happen to have stock of what you want?

Good luck!
