Posting airsoft pistol to Northern Ireland

[novioman]

Can you legally post airsoft pistols to Northern Ireland from the U.K.?

I don't see why it wouldn't be, as long as the transaction follows the same standards and is legal within it self. I.E, no UKARA meaning the replica has to be two-toned etc

Also, N.I is in the UK

Edit: Send it with a courier that accepts RIF's too. Basically, do the same as you should be doing if the recipient was in England and was sent from England for example

I seem to recall NI having more stringent FPS limitations but I'm not sure how that would interact with actually posting the item.

Also, the North of Ireland is OCCUPIED by the UK

What couriers do accept RIF’s now. Only RM, parcelforce don’t unless you have an account with them, no other courier I know of accepts them.

I've been sending rifs through parcelforce declared recently and not had any issues but I'm not sure of alternatives... Possibly UPS? I know they're a headache to deal with though

You need an account with both now, parcelforce changed there terms and conditions at the end of January. UPS won’t carry any guns of any kind unless the sender is a gun dealer who has account.

Also, the North East of Ireland is OCCUPIED by the British

Corrected that for you as the UK is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

(((Except to be even more pedantic, Southern Ireland / the Republic of Ireland / Eire is north of Northern Ireland, with the British occupation of the north east whilst the north west tip sits further north than Northern Ireland )))
*** quick edit to hopefully hide a blatant idiotic mistake ***

But on topic …… posting RiFs can have enough problems let alone crossing the Irish Sea
Take lots of advice from the above posters

Sadly I decided to say no to the sale. Second time this week, first it was Scotland now Northern Ireland, have to put England & Wales only on my adverts.
