    Default Imports from the USA

    Good evening all,

    Would like to know if there are any south african gun shops or dealers that import from the USA?

    Particularly from Brownells. I believe GICS was one but they no longer exist.

    Regards
    Richard

    If it's less than 100usd you can import yourself (and of course depending on Itar) Hailstorm on another thread are doing an import also. You can chat to them

    Hi Guys.
    Ordered some 'bits and pieces' from Brownells.
    A great company.
    Posted out of the USA by them on 5 August with a USPS Track and Trace number. LZ******62US
    Still no sign of it here in SA.
    SAPO Customer Services say that they have no record of it as... 'JIMC do not scan most of the LZ,LN and LM parcels...They just forward them straight to the destination post offices.
    My 'destination post office' says that they haven't got a clue what they are talking about and will need the ZA tracking number....and so the nonsense continues !
    Regards,
    Keith.

    Parcels from the US are currently taking around 6 or so weeks to arrive from the date of posting, in my limited experience. Still waiting for a sign of one posted 12 July.
