Posting airsoft pistol to Northern Ireland

[novioman]

Can you legally post airsoft pistols to Northern Ireland from the U.K.?

I don't see why it wouldn't be, as long as the transaction follows the same standards and is legal within it self. I.E, no UKARA meaning the replica has to be two-toned etc

Also, N.I is in the UK

Edit: Send it with a courier that accepts RIF's too. Basically, do the same as you should be doing if the recipient was in England and was sent from England for example

I seem to recall NI having more stringent FPS limitations but I'm not sure how that would interact with actually posting the item.

What couriers do accept RIF’s now. Only RM, parcelforce don’t unless you have an account with them, no other courier I know of accepts them.

I've been sending rifs through parcelforce declared recently and not had any issues but I'm not sure of alternatives... Possibly UPS? I know they're a headache to deal with though

You need an account with both now, parcelforce changed there terms and conditions at the end of January. UPS won’t carry any guns of any kind unless the sender is a gun dealer who has account.

Sadly I decided to say no to the sale. Second time this week, first it was Scotland now Northern Ireland, have to put England & Wales only on my adverts.

I have posted to NI before, everything is the same as you ship to mainland UK, except the fps limit is a bit lower with theirs being 328. There was once when I had to cancel the shipping to NI as I noticed the gun was just a few fps over....
