Hi

I tried to send one with DHL, through Parcel2Go.

It got as far as the plane before they said Paintball kit was not allowed. Strange as Paintball Equipment was in the drop down list of Item Description when I booked.

I ended up using good old royal mail, no such hassle, took longer but it did get there.

Most couriers will require an invoice receipt for Customs, well three to be precise. One in the box and two in a documents pouch attached to the box. No idea what happens to stuff in customs as mine never got that far...

If you have insured it fora true value and put that on the invoice will they get lumped with a tax bill, no idea !

Regards

Ed

There is a 2kg weight limit though

Cost me £39 to ship an Eclipse cocker to the states
