    It already is.
    From Steve's Wholesale FB

    13 May
    This week while unpacking 12 ton of ammo and reloading components Toll gave notice they will not transport ammo and firearms from the 8th July.
    They quote Health and Safety for their staff as the reason. We understand gangs may have threatened Toll staff driving or in the warehouse is the reason for this call. I suspect it goes a lot deeper than that...
    Toll have been the only courier service transporting ammo in NZ. Mainfreight can take pellet size shipments still.
    This is a real kick in the guts to the shooting trade with no easy solution in sight.

    Woody it absolutely will become a problem and it will have an effect on the smaller firearms retailers first. This situation will place their businesses in jeopardy if an alternative transport arrangement to Toll isn’t found.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Probably better off trying to get every dealer in NZ to fund a co-op where they employ someone to drive ammo and guns around.

    Permission to be the gunner on that bad boy KS and does it come with a grenade launching capability?

    It already more or less has. Compare how easy it is today to send firearms and gun parts around the country, versus pre 2019. It's actually stopped me buying things. Add to this the fact you now need a mail order form for every gun part, and the little guys are seriously hurting.

    Try living on an island (or anywhere remote nz) the time and cost of traveling gets prohibitive, rural Australia must be a nightmare for logistics....

    Last firearm I brought was online, so filled in the paperwork etc etc but it can't get picked up from the courier by anyone other than me.... (Covers couriers arse) so trip to town.

    Things have sure changed in the last few years

    Toll need to be told by the big players H&F, guncity if you don,t deliver our firearm/ ammo you don,t deliver ant other products. The problem is theft/ lost items within courier company’s is high.

    Nope, they're more likely to "appropriate" it for their own us as they can't afford their own😊
