Thread: How best to return a scope overseas?

Hi - this thread explains all:

http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...97/index5.html

It has developed into a new issue after twice having the scope rejected as a prohibited item by NZ Post. The second time I labelled it as a Theodolite, and after speaking to NZ Post was unofficially told to do so as anything with rifle in it will be picked up.

So how can you post a scope back to the point of sale other than NZ Post, or EMS (agent is NZ Post), or DHL (NZ Post agent)??

Keen to hear from those that have not those that haven't.

The gunstore in Oz got it sorted for me via Toll, really doing everything they can which is great.

It's a telescope.

Are if your sending it back then isn't it a BUM scope
That's why it's going back at lest your being honest ah

Now NZ Post has lost the scope they were returning to the post shop where it was sent.

F@#K thats shit mate - as if they havnt stuffed you around enough already!!

Can only laugh now.

Yep,...and despite a declared value of $3k turns out they didn't use a tracking number. Good job NZ Post.

I have been send scopes into NZ and just called them "Optics" or "Vortex Optics" without any holdup. You could also claim it to be a "Spotting Scope". If you have to use a HS tariff # try 900510. In the meantime, never use post without insurance. NZ Post are notorious in telling you - "Lost In Transit" sorry - no care, no responsibility. (Auspost just the same). Lost a PLB a couple of years ago, so I tried to report the "theft" with NZ Police, but as the sender, I have to report it to the Aust Police who then refer it to Interpol, who then pass it onto NZ Police... What a load of sheep #$%t.

Sending a prohibited item takes any responsibility away from the carrier unfortunately.

It isn't prohibited....which is what fucks me off.

It's a Bit ironic that NZ Post will deliver the same brand of scope to an address in NZ when contracted to do so by Australia post, but they won't let you send one back out to Aussie. ??
