The method of delivery is not specified in law, and 'common carriers' are exempt from licencing provisions for delivery purposes. Toll and Aramex both handle firearms but will not deliver to home addresses, just to previously arranged dealers, or depot collection. The method of purchasing by internet/mail order is spelled out in the legislation but it is quite lawful to have the gun delivered by another licenced person. NZ Post are totally paranoid regarding any firearm related item, including parts and accessories. Courier Post used to be the preferred method of delivery, even by Police, but some woofter high up in NZ Post prefers 'virtue signalling' to providing a decent service!
