    It's not illegal to courier a rifle, nor do you have to actually tell them either. They are not customs. (How do they know anything people send is not stolen? Why just a rifle?)

    I had a rifle sent to me by NZ Post courier, and the barrel ended up poking through the end of the packaging. The NZ Post manager refused to give it to me even though I had a firearms licesne and it was addressed to me. More than that, he was going on holiday for two weeks that afternoon and was not going to give it to me, but leave it in his office. I pointed out that he couldn't keep it from me, because he didn't have a firearms license himself, it belonged to me, and there was nothing illegal about posting a firearm. (Nz Post will not now carry firearms, but there is nothing illegal about it. They just don't want to. )
    I ended up calling the local police station. the Sargent said he didn't have a problem with me picking up it up. I asked him to call the NZ Post manager and he did so.

    Sulky silence from him when I showed up.
