SimonC_Here 36 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Is it still Parcelforce 48 hour service only? People have suggested marking the parcel surface only to make sure they don't try to fly it anywhere. No to Paypal. There is no protection and it's really easy for the buyer to get their money back.

charlie caller 3,654 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Plenty of others TNT spring to mind, oh and you could get them to send you a bankers draft, its as good as cash but only you can cash it. Quote Link to post

You can't send guns via TNT though. Or pretty much any other courier. You can do a RFD - RFD transfer but someone has to pay the extra charges. Quote Link to post

Really I had a section 1 delivered to my local shop yesterday, via rfd obviously, could have sworn it said tnt on the invoice :whistling:a new airgun or secondhand from a dealer must go rfd, but the private man can still send none fac airguns via private courier.

4sight 31 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) If you do not have a business account, the only courier who will insure your precious is going to be ParcelForce 48 (there might be a length limit). However these people have been mentioned on two other forums as willing to courier an air rifle: http://www.awexpress.com/ I don't know what insurance they offer (havn't contacted them), but might be worth a try.

As 4sight says. You can use TNT if you have a business account, but not otherwise. Check the T&C for the other carriers and you will see firearms (including airguns) are prohibited. This of course assumes that they spot them in transit, but do you want to take that risk? Quote Link to post
