Thread: Shipping/flying with firearm

Hey team.
I’m up in porirua for training. I have just bought a new (to me) wallaby/goat rifle up here. I’m needing to get it back down to Timaru.
My first thought was to ship it via the dealer network to myself in Timaru. I’m home next weekend. Would I need police paperwork if I’m sending it to myself? Does anyone local know what stores do ship between dealers? I tried the local h&f but no dice.
Second thought is I am flying home next Friday with Jetstar. Has anyone flown with rifles with jetstar before? How was the rifle packaged up? We’re there any issues?

Cheers

Cam
