Packaging Airsoft Rifles for Travel

Postby TinMasta » Sat Jul 12, 2008 8:24 pm

How should I package an airsoft rifle if I'm going to ship it internationally? Do I have to put some note in the box so Homeland Security doesn't destroy it?

It HAS to have an orange tip on it. I don't know about a notice, and I don't think UPS will ship it, I don't think they will ship firearms of any kind.

if its a AR variant, i would recommend shipping it in two pieces, and ship it UPS dont go through the post office, that way it is tracked. and yes put an orange tip on it. Do not ship it with any mags either or with the battery in the gun.

0tj -- UPS will ship the gun, have you ever ordered online before? 80% of the airsoft stuff i order comes in through UPS.

I shipped an M60 to England once. I made it into about 5 peices and wrote broken toy gun on it. Went through without a hitch.

You must first confirm whether it is safe or not to travel with the airsoft rifile.
