LOL! imagine trying to ship a SAW piece by piece!!!
insane!
In europe, in some countries it is relaxed, in others not so.
In the uk we have just gone through a round of scare mongering by
the government, but a letter went out to airsofters from the
government Firearms Minister that said legitimate airsofters were
not at risk.
In Scandinavia its ok [definately Finland and Sweden are ok].
Some of the other countries have proper national leagues and arena
events and multi-day military-sim games.
These include France and Spain.
Countries that have banned anything gun-shaped at all are Germany
and Holland [Netherlands].
At the end of last year, several shipments were sent by courier
from Hong Kong to Spain and the UK [amongst other legal
countries].
Trouble was, the couriers used a european stopoff hub to
redistribute the shipments amongst those countries.
Unfortunately, the hubs were in Germany and Holland.
Customs in those two countries confiscated all related shipments
and burnt/crushed them.
The dealers in HongKong were pretty good about it tho, and
re-issued the shipments about a month later, using different
couriers.
So, moral is, not all couriers are safe to go by, even if they
previously had a good reputation [TNT in this case, now no longer
trusted - tho to be fair, they had no say - Customs in individual
countries can be as strict as they like, regardless of the
shipments passing thru or not]
Just watch out and dont be surprised if something nasty
happens..
