Shaun Haynes Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Already looked for prev posts but nothing recently. I'm due to sent my gbb pistol off. But what courier do people use I Went to the post office to see if they could do it via the courier thought them and they declined. Ideally need to be one that I can drop the package off at a drop off point rather then the courier collect from my home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snuff Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Parcel force via the post office,do it on-line,from what I understand they cover rifs,look at their restricted items. Firesupport use them if that's anything to go by.

LightningCh Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 My RIF is coming via ParcelForce 48h... although I'm still waiting for the tracking to be active (it was posted Saturday afternoon via post office, so with holidays this is to be expected) Lots of complaints about P/F 48 though as a whole, lost/missing parcels, lack of tracking entirely. etc... so I'm currently fingers crossed it will arrive at all lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningCh Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Just as an update, my tracking number finally kicked in today at 5pm so obviously just been collected by P/F 48h. Lets see if they can just magically make it disappear by the end of the 48 hours... Hopefully they don't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentonboy Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I always send RiFs via Parcelforce 48 and declare them as 'low powered air guns'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that it offers default insurance to £20 on many of the offers, but you can buy the appropriate level Remeber to check the restricted & prohibited lists for each method offered Its just a comparison site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, me and @Whompa73 both had the same issue from the same seller at the same time. I’d given up until Whompa suggested doing what he’d done, kudos to the man, it worked. After being missing for a week and a half, both parcels suddenly re-appeared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TARGETSZONE.CO.UK Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Parcelforce is fine just make sure you mark on it contains Airsoft Toy and your own address. We send Rifs everyday also don't use pallet wrap. Make sure it's in a cardboard box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covering their own ass I imagine. After days odf saying they didnt know where they were and couldn't get throught to the depot that they were last seen at. They said i would have to get the srnder to claim. I said ok but i will also be getting the police involved. The snotty little git said yeah right the police wont do anything . I said they dont have any choice as they are rif's and you have to be licenced to have them . They are perfectly legal to send through post but buyer and seller must be licenced to own them. If they go missing we are legally obliged to report it to the police and under the provention of crime act as they could be used in a crime . The police have no other choince to investigate. The next day at 04.05 am the parcel showed that it have been sent from the depot that it was ment to have gone missing from. 3 days later when it had arrived and rockets still hadnt ( he knew what i had said) i told him to get back on to them again (he had spoke to them almost every day) and say tha same as i had . The next morning 04.05 am they sent the parcel out of the depot it had gone missing at and was delivered saturday. Both parcels were sent at the same time by the same person and neither got pas the collection depot. Hermies wasnt intrested in where it had got to. Would not use them again!!!
