Duff Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Oh. Weird. If I were you I'd cancel the order with the retailer and buy elsewhere. Which he's mags are they, I bet TaiwanGun do a good price. These? http://www.taiwangun.com/en/aeg-mid-cap/120rd-polymer-mid-cap-magazine-for-m4-ar-15-series-black-castellan?from=listing&campaign-id=19

E21A Posted June 5, 2018 Author Posted June 5, 2018 I’ll wait to hear from them first, it’s not like they are an unpopular/unknown company, would have thought they’d have this shit sorted

UKARA for mags FFS Just didn't argue, just did all the paperwork and lesson learned.

Again that’s weird as hell , you get full metal RIFs coming through that on an Xray will look 100% like a real gun where as a plastic mid cap wouldn’t look anything like a real polymer magazine on an X-ray inspection ?

The sender address is probably flagged from previous packages. They'll have a big long list of businesses to keep an extra eye on.

Why don’t redwolf bloody ask if that’s what’s needed!

I think because the package has the word "Airsoft" on UPS just trigger the default response UKARA or nothing.
MILITATED Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 I ordered 3 GBB mags from RW HK a few months ago. Also got held (a week after ordering) and had to fill out a firearms declaration form. Filled the form out but had to explain to them over the phone (twice, the first rep must have hung the phone up due to not understanding) that I had not ordered a firearm and that the magazines did not have a firing mechanism. Absolute pain in the ass. Took a few days for everything to go back to normal and for my mags to be released. Then of course, the lovely letter demanding the handling fees and whatnot to be paid arrived soon after. Could have bought another mag with the cost of that
AK47frizzle Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 You will get hit by customs and it's like 20% or whatnot. Normally it's like 1 week to arrive, than another week to clear customs and assign another delivery to your address. I wouldn't count on it if you absolutely need it in 2 weeks.
E21A Posted June 7, 2018 Author Posted June 7, 2018 Firearms declaration made, just waiting on HMRC now, so will probably be about 6 months ?
