    By a lorry is much safer .
    But what service to use ?
    As I stated above Royal mail will do so (surface mail only) subject to their size limit, PF48 will not export guns or gun parts so to try is against their rules & if found it will be seized /destroyed.
    AFAIK no other UK carrier will knowingly carry an airgun for a member of the public, let alone export it.

    The parcel will now probably require a customs declaration form so lying about the contents has gone up a notch or two

    Well that Dutch guy claimed different not Royal Mail but would not help when asked what actual parcels service was being used .
    Nice to know that RM will still deliver mind .
    Yes agreed Customs labels would now be eventful or is that inventive
