Charges and Fees ??

[Die Judicii]

What sort of charges and fees ( $$ ) seem to be current for a dealer to post a firearm interstate. (not WA) ?????

[sungazer]

Mostly I have paid around the $60 mark. The transfers are often about $15 for the PTA. It does depend on the shop, what shop or person you may be buying it from, what sort of relationship you have with your shop.

Not interstate mate but from Brisbane to NQ is around the $50 mark.

l've seen them asking up to $200
l got the seller to find another dealer, $50 is a good price that l am happy to pay
if you are sending though always get it insured,
the cost to send the last one l sent after getting a dealer to put the firearm on his books was under $25 plus insurance

I. Pretty sure a dealer in casino nsw only charged me 100 total for 3 long arms to bris but I think they are mates of my father and I’m pretty sure I gave them more as a tip ..... and a store I bris charged me 50 per gun to receive it

If it’s longer than 1000 mm as I’m my old 303 aust post don’t accept it. But my nsw dealer just did minor dissasssembly for me at no charge

I’m actually fitting my thermal to old 303 smelly and loading up some 150 grain speers and taking it on mu next pig hunt ...so the plan is to be able to take shots on pigs at any angle , fast bolt, ten shot mag .....just got to see if my body is up to lugging it around Very much looking fwd to taking a nice historical traditional rifle into the field. I have had it for 35 years

I've paid anywhere from $45 (rural SA) to $120 (Brisbane) to Sydney.

If you ask me most shops use it as a gouge, since you've more than likely gone through the whole negotiation with the seller and are likely to just have to eat whatever number they throw at you.

I bought a rifle from a fella in NSW 6 months ago. All up, with fees, charges and postage etc, it cost me near $200.

hes a dealer you would go back to

Well that's an interesting array.

I sent one today.. Just a bare rifle, (a short one),,,,,,,, and they hit me with $90 for postage.

I think they just shat in their own nest.. I will NOT be going back.

[Die Judicii]

Yeah well,,,, I just found my receipt today when cleaning the car.
The breakdown of the charges is as follows.

Firearm transfer fee: $11.00
P + H: $55.00
Firearm Storage fee: $24.00

I know it's technically correct seeing as it is entered into their books,,,,,, but it was left on the counter for 15 minutes while they
boxed it and was put in the mail.
And that earned them $24.00

SHEES,,,,,,,

The 11 probably goes to the firearms registery, and 24 is the labor to fill out forms and fax to registery, EFTPOS fees etc.

In vic they charge anywhere from 50 to $100, the cost to do the paperwork for interstate, and usually 25 for local transfers. Plus PTA
