Imports on inactive UKARA

It makes hee-haw sense, especially as many air guns with higher energies and metal pellets also look like real firearms to the untrained or even trained eye, but there we are.

Note:

Arms and Ammunition - low powered air weapons Low-powered air weapons (air rifles, air guns and air pistols), together with lead pellets and other airgun and airsoft projectiles, can be sent but are subject to the following conditions:

1. These items must be sent on an express48 service only
   
2. These items must be sent via the Post Office only, and presented at the counter
   
3. Enhanced compensation cover is not available
   

Thought: if you declared an airsoft gun as an air gun, would they really know, or care?

So my two cents i sent two RIF's this week via PF48 and declared them as low powered airsoft guns and they took them without batting an eye.

Rarely a week goes by without me sending some sort of RIF via PF48, fully declared, zero issues, ever

Do you ever check what they record it as?

I can see you saying "airsoft" and the counter monkey mashing "air gun".

Have you tried insisting that it be "declared" as a realistic imitation firearm?
