Stumpy Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I’m sure one of the rfd’s will chip in here, but how many and what’s the package weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can send them in the post. I have also sent bullets by MyHermes as they become cheaper (than the post) as the weight increases. For a 'next day' service, i'd recommend DPD-local How many are you wanting to send ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalahari Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I have to agree with the above, I have posted both 'scope mounts and choke tubes as pipe fittings! Which I always think, well they are in a manner of speaking. David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i deer Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 When I've posted bullets at the post office I tell them there bullets as there's no restrictions on posting them. Send each box individually it will be £3 per box.. Put both boxes in the same package it will cost more than double... Atb No I deer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryh Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 ..... indeed, ‘motor cycle parts’, ‘nut and bolts’ etc. Not worth the effort of trying to explain even if it is permitted, better things to do with my time 😉 T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orka Akinse Posted June 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Thanks all, like TerryH I've labelled them on their website as Bullets so we'll see what happens. The tracker says its on its way TBH is was a c**k up on my part, I'd put bullets in got all the way thro the process and before I'd clicked confirm order, consulted on here and decided to go back and change it. Did that, Clicked confirm and it said bullets!!!!...… oh well lesson learned. Well see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunner Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Copper & lead samples iv described them as , but one day i did explain they were bullets / Not loaded ammunition and i was very aware of the laws on sending expanding at the time before the laws changed. They were target non expanding etc. The lady was fine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orka Akinse Posted June 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Well, they have, according to Hermes, being delivered and signed for. Not sure if I was lucky or not but will heed the sage and wise words of you guys on here who do it more frequently than I. All's well that ends well.
