Just for shit and giggles I emailed NZ Post about their policy on firearms..... No way Jose........ I suppose we all knew that, but thought I'd get actual confirmation.....

I was told by a helpful post person (on the phone) that to be aware that sending items with gun oil residue on them will be picked up by the dogs at the sorting centres especially if going through Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch...articles will be destroyed.
Time to test that I think.Quote:

Virtue signalling cnuts. I understand not shipping actual firearms and ammunition but the rest is a joke. I hope they run into a safe space ans someone locks the door on them and throws the key away.

Apart from packaging the scope in front of them or applying for insurance how would the person on the counter know what was being sent?Quote:

Exactly! I wonder if they are turning down GC or H&F's sales? ;)Quote:

Yeah, but it should give you some sort of legal comeback if they fail to deliver or destroy anything you send.Quote:

i told them it was a camera tripod.......
But they would only being returning to sender because they refuse to deliver it - which their website says they will. It's easy to safely return a scope, stock, suppressor, etc. If they destroy it they are being a-holes, and it's their fault if they have failed to update their website, not the sender's.Quote:

PM on its way to you..............As for the Post Shop. Be honest, tell them it's a two legged thingie for stabilising pipes which your great Aunt Amanda, Bless her soul, left to you in her will and as you don't want it you are sending it to someone you dislike as a belated birthday present. :>)Quote:

I don't know how this complies with the consumer guarantees act. If you order something from overseas and you have the appropriate permit. The item is then legal, the delivery service has been paid for (you paid the shipping from overseas). How can they then refuse to deliver a legal item that you have paid them to deliver? Shouldn't you at least get a partial refund for the shipping?
Naaaa A 14 inch heavy duty "facial massager" that looks suspiciously like a horses penis, lubed and given a protective coating of gun oil and two D cell batteriy sized dog chew toys should suffice quite nicely.....And to make the point write "F_ck off NZ Post " on the "massager"Quote:

I am not aware of any such comment from COLFO and i do keep my ear to the ground........Shakes head and 2 ounces of gravel, 3 bottle tops and a small snail answering to the name of Basil fall out.Quote:
