Quick postage cost for Rifle Parcelforce

[Vic Thompson]

A few weeks ago I spoke to the RM/PF specialist Department that deals with "Restricted Goods" regarding shipping of a PCP Low powered Air Weapon.

The answer they gave was that they will not under any circumstances permit Carriage of a PCP Air Weapon if a "valved pressure cylinder (either empty or full)" is included in the package (their words not mine). This to me means that RM/PF will only carry a PCP if the cylinder is not part of the package, or alternatively, if the cylinder is included that at least one end is removed and it is shipped as an open tube.

To me that makes using their services "difficult" as removing a cylinder end might not be a straightforward job in some cases.

ps : regarding PF pricing, here's a link to an RM pricing guide that includes PF pricing as well. To use, enter the destination country, packaged weight and size categories, and out comes a table of alternative shipping methods, all priced up.
