Thread: Shipping pistols

sold my pistols.

Is it legal to ship them down to wellington from auckland?

Has someone got experiance with this? And if so how do i go about it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Buyer needs to go to AO get permit to procure then send you both hard copies. Once you have them you keep one and send one back with the pistols. Must have hard copies not scans.

He will need a pinky from his club too

Thanks, who do you think is the best courier company for the parcel. Fastways?

Wonder if i should use serious shooters to forward them. What do you think? being pistols im a little anxious and want to do it right.

Had 2 of mine shipped by courier inter island.
No dramas.

Serious shooters use fastways, so same difference

I've shipped a few pistols by courier, never had any issues.

Fastways as the are more Firearm friendly, but which ever company I have used I have always tracked the parcel.

And yes you'll need to have the buyer complete all the paperwork and send you your copy before you ship it.

Cheers

How many carbon copies do you get with this form? Manukau AO said i dont get to keep a copy?
Im confused?

One to seller one to buyer, so I'd your the seller you should have been sent 2 copies by the buyer keep one and send the other back with the pistol

I'd do what you ao suggests. Seller doesn't keep a copy the buyer does and the buyers ao does, who issued the permit. I would take a scan for evidence tho

I'm a bit torn with recommending couriers here- fastways are by far the most firearm friendly but I have also had them leave signature-required rifles unattended on the door step on a couple of occasions
