Not sure they'll approve of the types of marks it makes, though it's not like they can say paintball markers don't cause injury either. /me goes off to find out why they're called markers in paintball.

Bb guns are legal to own and transport so there is no reason to skirt the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to the post office you will be using parcelforce. 48hr express is what most of us use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Samurai Posted June 4, 2016 Supporters Share Posted June 4, 2016 Arms and Ammunition - low powered air weapons Low-powered air weapons (air rifles, air guns and air pistols), together with lead pellets and other airgun and airsoft projectiles, can be sent but are subject to the following conditions: These items must be sent on an express48 service only These items must be sent via the Post Office only, and presented at the counter Enhanced compensation cover is not available http://www.parcelforce.com/help-and-advice/sending/prohibitions-and-restrictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR01 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 You will find that sending parcels via the Post Office is actually much dearer than going to a ParcelForce Depot and presenting them at their counter. The last RIF I sent was quoted at nearly £30 at the PO counter but only £15 when I went to the ParcelForce Depot for the same package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GothicGhost Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Sorry I was reading about I can't ship the battery with the gun is that correct? It's only the cheap one that comes with the gun. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benneh Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 If I recall, most if not all postage carriers will not accept batteries as defined under their prohibited items list, either charged or fully discharged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacarathe Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 If I recall, most if not all postage carriers will not accept batteries as defined under their prohibited items list, either charged or fully discharged. This is incorrect, there is a specific list of battery types which are excluded from non commerical, and international/national carriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
