General Guidance
Want to Buy?
Firstly, we are sorry but we are experiencing difficulties getting our “Shopping Cart” up and running. It seems that the vagaries of our packaging and Dangerous Goods classifications are proving rather difficult for the programme to fathom out.
In the interim, complete the “Contact Us” form and list out what you want from the Price List. We will provide you with reference details for banking. Depending on the quantity you are ordering we will proceed from there. Limited Quantity Dangerous Goods will require the Order to Purchase Ammunition form to be completed. You can easily check the category of your order by looking at the Freight Weight Calculator.
We do not accept Credit Cards.
We can offer "Pick-Up" from our Heads Road facility BUT require pre-arranegment for this. Make arragments via email.
BANKING DETAILS
Please deposit the money into our account:
- We will provide details on receipt of your order.
Use the reference provided.
If the order was for under 5 Kg of ammunition [Limited Quantity Dangerous Goods - LQDG], then please return the completed Order to Purchase Ammunition form. You can download an order to purchase ammunition form in PDF format here.
If the quantity is in excess of 5 Kg, then nominate the Mainfreight depot for the ammunition to be delivered too and provide your full name, address and telephone [daytime] contact number.
Use the Weight Calculator on the web page to determine the weight of the order.
Note, if it is LQDG, then the Courier will deliver it to the address on the Order to Purchase Ammunition form.
Your rights in regard to purchasing Mail Order Ammunition/Weapons.

- (i) has inspected the purchaser's firearms licence; and

(2) Nothing in this section applies in relation to—

This is a “Buyer Generated Form” and does NOT require information from the “Seller”.
The Police form requesting details of the Seller and information regarding the serial number of the weapon being purchased is incorrect and cannot be insisted upon as the “only form they will sign”. Police have a Statuary duty to sign any form that meets the requirement of Section 43A of the Arms Act 1983.
NOTE:
Following the fiasco of the Heather du Plessis - Allen incident and theTV3 Documetnary, NZ Police have instigated a new policy in relation to AA 43a. whereby they will only issue a Mail Order Form under their format and request details of the Seller/dealer. While we contend this this is illegal, in the interrests of public Safety and good order, we comply with this proceedure.
Information requierd by NZ Police for their Mail Order Form is:
