Posting a Rifle to Portugal

Hi all who would you use to post a rifle Portugal and is there any restrictions I need to know about

Thanks Matt

 

From our side here the only restriction is that the airgun must have less than 16 fpe (24 Joules) and maximum caliber 0.22 (5.5mm), to be safe probably should be better to declare it as a sporting good since many companies refuse to transport guns.

 

Thanks for that can any body recommend a carrier they trust please

Thanks Matt

 

I can ´t recomend a carrier what I recomend is that you remove the action from the stock it will make the package shorter.

 

BAR uses TNT....

 

have just rang TNT they will only ship if your a Business and to a Business

 

Dhl

try DHL. Reliable, cheap and fast.

 

Have tried all of them have got the same answer from them all we dont ship Air rifles

So have now had to back out of a sale

thanks Matt

 

A couple of final options..

www.dpd.co.uk ...(the same DPD.de , that is used by Germans when sending airguns from Germany by Shops or Individuals, but the UK DPD may have different terms & conditions on sending OUT of UK, airguns..).

Or, have the buyer in Portugual, initiate the whole process/quote in Portugal, for the Portugese courier to get their UK courier 'counter part' to pick up from UK, and deliver back to Portugal...as this might do the trick (all kosher, since original paperwork is done on Portugese side, and UK counterpart is fulfilling an order that did NOT originate in UK - per or against their UK company policy) ... and if this works, cost could be split bothways ?

 

That's why I told you to declare it as a sporting good.

If they don't ship air rifles, how can you send a German rifle to factory for a tune or repair?
