I used Fastways, was not all plain sailing though the courier went to the post people near Auckland airport they said they did not have it so he went away.

I chased up customs through my very helpful MP's assistant turns out your courier has to ask for customs people who will give it to the courier.

So Fastways goes back and customs gave him my goods, I gave my hard copy Permit to Import into Christchurch Customs prior to the corier picking it up who asked what they were to do with it I said your customs here's the required document all smiles and left, the guys in customs seemed good types.

I also emailed customs Auckland stating Fastways were coming to pick up my goods again my helpful MP's assistant helped with this so customs had no reason not to give Fastways my goods I think I even told them the name of the actual Fastways courier.

Just over two months since my goods arrived in Auckland I picked my goods up at the Fastways depot Christchurch.

So pretty straight forward really (yea right) I was at the stage of flying from Christchurch to Auckland to pick it up myself and thought I would check what the situation was bringing firearms parts back on the plane struth that was an other drama yes no maybe !!!!!

Yea they have made it so easy for us to get our bits and bobs, if you cant get it they don't need to go to the hassle of banning it!

Yea pretty straight forward !

Any shops got 2209 in the South Island?
