Formites!

Quick couple of questions. I've located a particular rifle in the US. It's regarded as a curio/antique in America, however, S1 over here. The guy offered to post it straight to me, but no, not something I want to entertain.

Has anyone used a company to legally ship guns overseas? What was the process? Did you find it complicated and problematic? And, how much would I be looking at?

Many thanks.

Speak to PBS international freight, I've used them to get stuff out of Switzerland and they were helpful and informative

I need to find a way to bring chemicals out of the USA by sea shipping....

Its spray paint for a car & also duracoat epoxy - not an easy task to get into the UK!!

I had a rifle posted to the Uk from the US. Straightforward at this end but don't know what needed doing at the other end. Only advice I had was don't have it routed through Heathrow; it will be impounded. I had it sent through Birmingham and it was a doddle.

Watcher, what kind/calibre of rifle was it? Can you give us more info?
