Posting paintball guns to the states??

[renie]

since when has it been so difficult to post a marker to the states without it being on the restricted items list??

Phone 3 companies today just to clarify as its not clear got 2 straight forward NO's and 1 "its a bit of a grey area"

anyone know of a company that will ship a Paintball Gun to the states without the fuss it needs to be insured too

Post it disassembled and with the description used paintball equipment or sports Equipment.

I use FedEx, I've never had an issue with the US posting or receiving with them.

I've used just bog standard Royal Mail for markers (took the battery out, which apparently was the prohibiting factor). Never had an issue.

You take you chance with RM, some will get on the plane, others will get the restricted sticker and be sent via boat. It will get there though but it's a 6 week wait for the recipient via the water.
