    Exporting to Holland

    Can anyone tell me how to legally send a declared air rifle to Holland. Post office/Parcel Force will NOT accept it. Contents have to be declared for insurance to be effective. Anyone used reasonably priced carriers.
    Cheers

    Amazing isn't it, seen this mail before (similar), perhaps you should try your local gun shop and ask them to send it for you. Ask Post Office/ Parcel people why they will not accept air guns for postage to Holland and get this in writing. I'm interested to see why they won't send air guns.

    I have repeatedly asked them and for them to confirm, they say it is due to the legislation re. firearms in that country. A carrier quoted me over £100, crazy.

    Jon,
    i have just sent a Stealth to Holland with Parcel force with no problems at all. I also put the contents as "UK legal air rifle" on the form that is stuck to the package. I took it to the PO told them how and where i wanted it to go and that was that, three days later it's in Holland.

    Bish Bosh job done

    Can you tell me approx. weight, size and cost. Was the form you filled in the 5 copy one. Did you put on excess ins.as I believe cover is for £150 only. May just give it a try without enquiries.
