I just think it's best to stick to the rules we have been given I've been sending guns for 20 years and not had one single issue, imagine telling someone to use a different service and that one time it goes tit's up because of your advice, it would suck You don't get any enhanced compensation but you can insure accessories Retailers are allowed to use 24 because it's a business account

What a theiving little shit. Is it wrong that part of me is hoping his does something stupid with it and meets the business end of the local ARU's G36s?

my humble contribution. VFC SD3 2024. Genuine Aimpoint 3000 with a custom machined lens protector Repro 660 Flashlight Cheap Torch mount (require boring to fit the suppressor) Guillotine Airsoft Hop Arm + NPAS (need to sort NPAS) Already modified my magazines and sorted the wobble in the stock - receiver Just need to get out and play with it.

I am guessing this has been reported to the police - is there a crime ref number worth putting out in case anyone does come across it/see's him?

Of all the guns to steal he chose the ugliest. Suppose it suits him, the ugly fucker.

Just keep in mind that if the seller has dropped it off at the post office and ordered the PF24 service, It’s 24 hrs from collection from PF, not 24 hrs from being dropped off at the post office. I had an upset buyer about a year back because I sent a RIF via PF48 and it took nearly a week to arrive with him. I live in a reasonably rural area, about an hour from the nearest PF depot. However my local post office is only a 15 minute drive. I dropped my PF consignment off at the post office on a Saturday, and PF didn’t pick it up until Wednesday. The tracking didn’t activate until it was scanned in by the PF courier… so from the customer’s end, it looked like I was messing them about. Even though I had a receipt to show it had been dropped off. He was patient and it worked out in the end. But it’s easy to understand why he got upset given he paid for 48hr shipping and it took 3 days to collect.

No problem, FYI the seller has replied to me via email, says it was collected on Wednesday afternoon so should be with you soon. He also said he'll be in touch, so hopefully all be sorted on monday-ish ?. Sometimes the pick up times, if they're in the pm, can add an extra day to getting in to the system.

You are right mate, all very fair points Jez. Cheers

I hope that bastard gets what's coming to him. Driver Wood has a boot sale tomorrow so it may be worth giving Gareth or anyone playing there tomorrow the heads up for anyone trying to flog it.

OK, I've added an hpa valve to my GE 870- a bit of testing in the garden, and it's spot on! Finally the shotgun is a usable item. It was chronoing at circa 1j on about 100PSI, with a usable range of about 45m on. 25s. Mine is the version with the buffer tube and m4 LE stock, so the only downside is that the stock doesn't now collapse all the way as the valve pokes out the bottom of the buffer tube, but I've cut the stock such that it can collapse all but the last cm or so. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade in my view if you already have the Hpa tank/reg/line....

Must be 48 You can insure accessories don't forget

Some good advice above. I have always sent RIF's over the past 15 years odd PF 24 and never had an issue - and I never take it to the post office and instead get it collected. I have also had them sent to me that way just fine too. Enhanced compensation isn't available if you send it 48h or 24h anyway so you are at the mercy of the system regardless and my thinking is "if its going to go wrong, I'd rather it go wrong fast" when it comes to posting things, so that I can react to the issue just as fast. Luckily I think PF have gotten a lot better over the years, especially iow they are more under Royal Mail. I had an issue sending a guitar once but they fixed it quick. Also, even if you do lose something that is covered, I believe they would make it very hard to claim anyway.

Sounds like a good idea . Thank you for being very helpful

I've emailed him, if you've had no response or update on the tracking by Wednesday pm I'd consider initiating a paypal dispute. If you do open a dispute, be aware that if you then cancel it you can't then start another one for the same transaction, so you never stop it unless you receive the item, or a full refund, irrespective of what excuses a seller gives you.

Thank you, I didn't have a clue what they where called!

Had the same with air cartridge guns, no compensation and hand them in unless you want to put them on FAC, what happened, 60-80 thousand went underground according to Home Office figures. Same will happen here. The majority of owners who aren’t on forums or buy newspapers won’t even know about the amnesty unless they put out a lot of TV & radio messages to warn owners.

I quite liked the look of it until I saw that changing the battery was a complete ballache.
