Mail order form
How to Make an Online Order for GUNS ONLY
A mail order form is required with any Airsoft Gun purchase for all online and phone orders. This is required by the law since November 2015. Definition: The term “Mail Order” is to be taken to apply to any sale / transfer (supply) of firearms, airguns or ammunition which does not take place face to face. It includes any transaction where the seller is unable to view and handle the purchaser’s (receiver’s) physical firearms licence (or evidence of age in the case of airguns) and to simultaneously compare the photo likeness to the person. It applies to sales arranged over the internet, for example, as well as to transactions by physical mail.Applying for Proof of Age, or Verification of a ID / Firearms Licence (If applicable)
