Person to person delivery of ammunition?

Conmaicne Mara

Hi,

I have a thread in the sales section selling ammunition. Does anyone know off the top of their head if it's possible to have a courier pick up the ammunition from me and deliver to another person, both licensed. I have emailed DPD but won't get a reply until tomorrow I expect. I don't believe that I am allowed to simply post it?

Many thanks.

Cannot see why not. All the websites that sell ammo, and deliver via a courier must be allowed to do so legally or they would not.

Plus i believe it's permitted for the purpose of transport only, and the person has a valid license. So the only stumbling block would be if the courier refuses to transport it.

I have received ammunition via registered post from a dealer.:pac::pac: Couriers are covered under the firearms act somewhere I'll try and dig it out. I know a dealer who receives firearms from the post man almost daily.

Yeah, I've received ammunition from dealers (multiple) via secure courier also. When I get an answer from the courier I emailed I will relay that information here. If anyone can remember names of courier companies that have delivered to you I'd be grateful of a PM so I can ask them the same.

DPD deliver to my work regularly, I asked the driver and he said DPD won't carry firearms or ammunition anymore. They used to he said but not any more, so thats one courier that won't do it for you anyway!

I would just have a look at a few companies terms and conditions etc.. I don't think you really need to ask them, If it is legal for you both to have them and they don't say on their website that they won't then I wouldn't say it to them, You could have a knee jerk reaction from someone who doesn't know the answer and i wouldn't really feel safe myself telling them.

Sportsden had written on their site that the company had to be approved by the gardai to do so..

To do with fellas with records working for the company maybe?

I'd imagine that has more to do with quantity as they may be shipping large volumes on a daily basis.

Surely you would need to be a RFD to sell ammunition in the first place ?

Cass

If you are selling it commercially you do.

I don't see why, I'm not importing/buying from a distributer. It's a small quantity of ammunition I no longer have need for.

Postplus.ie will do it for reasonable money.
