    Couriered ammo, the driver forged the receivers signature as no one was home, got stolen. Driver had to pay.

    Just shows what happens when "new New Zealanders" take over an industry. Standards start to reflect the third world dysfunctional shit hole they came from.

    I guess you know every courier driver personally in NZ to make a comment like that.

    Every time I've had stuff couriered it's been a fuck up. I've lost count of the hours I waste trying to find where bolts, sealant etc have gone.
    I have not seen a NZ born courier in the last decade. So from my experience fucked if I'd trust any of them with fire arms or ammo.

    You obviously have very in depth chats with all the courier drivers, if you know where they were all born

    Had a rifle dropped off at my Door years ago. My door is very visible from the road. Later on that morning I saw the mailman and he said that he had dropped off a rifle at home, sig was required. Maybe he thought as I do my job so well that it would be safe.

    What courier did you use? I'm trying to send a rifle and fastways are the only one who'll send it, but they will only send to depot for collection, not to a private address.

    I've used fastways a few times and never had a problem with them delivering to private addresses, is that a new rule or just different depots making up different policies? Their drivers down here have been pretty good at not leaving firearms without a signature in my experience.

    They did want the bolt and rifle in separate packages which makes them a few more dollars for another ticket.

    Must be a local Wellington rule, I just sent one from the Waikato to Christchurch with Fastways was able to track it the whole way even had the receivers signature on the track site only outfit I use for firearms, and my Fastways driver is a Kiwi always leaves a card if I'm not home.
