[Zeeuberman]

what are people using/recommending to send their stuff from the classified ads ? if you can also tell me how much I should expect to pay for the postage as well that would be great.

DPD/DPD Local delivers guns from Patrolbase/High Pressure Airsoft, UPS delivers guns from Defcon and can be used as a return, too.

 

I'd assume there is more than just parcelforce who takes rifs. Unless they have some sort of contract between them I'd be suprised if you can't use their services as a private customer.

Those are really only for retail sales and don't officially take RIFs from the public

PF48 is the only way Royal Mail will knowingly send a rif

They will NOT insure anything that is gnu shaped

So additional insurance is a waste of the seller/senders money

Couriers tend to be more flexible for businesses and will carry items that they normally won't touch for Joe Public

But you can insure the expensive accessories 😉

Royal Mail Special Delivery takes RIFS as well.  Other than PF24/4 and RM SD no one else will take them from private customers within the UK.
