Just received a gun a while back through parcel force without any issue. Had many come and go using PF so it's a good service. Never had one stopped although there's always a first time.
When sending I never tell them it's a gun. I just say farm equipment which to me it is, used on a farm as a tool so that's what it is. Bottle always empty and not had an issue. It's unfortunate but some of us just can't travel to pick up so posting is the only alternative or rfd but that cost £30 each end which is a turn off, so what other choices do we have.
