[appinpar68]

Co2 cartidges are sent out all the time by firms selling online - how do they manage to get through the Royal Mail system regulary when the poor folk on here seem to get them pulled and sent to belfast for destrction.

The terms and conditions for a business account and us (retail users) are different.

It's amazing that RM can't trust the public to package cos any differently to a business.

The fact that members of the public continue to send prohibited items which end up being destroyed, would kind of argue against that thought & support their position

What is be useful, would be for all those that had a gun seized or even taken to Belfast for examination to just detail where the gun was going from and to plus what postal service was being used...

All the issues I've heard of so far relate to guns going between England and Scotland via RMSD.

The answer is in your post....

RM send letters, packets and parcels by Air Freight from Southern England to Scotland. Therefore they have to be x-rayed under the current regulations set by the relevant authority ( not Royal Mail ). Parcelforce do not Air Freight within the mainland...

Now if an individual posts prohibited items then what do you expect them to do?

If the x-ray operator is an air gun enthusiast then maybe they would recognise a CP88 from say Beretta 92FS, but maybe they are more into knitting and won't.

This has been discussed so many times that I find it incredible people still make the mistake.

Ok, here is your answer from your original post above.

Many people on many occassions have posted that this traffic is Air Freighted, yet people still use the service. Beggars believe.

It's also true that some mail within english borders is Air Freighted by Royal Mail, but to a lesser extent.
