Blu Logistics. Who's used them?
Good day friends.
I'm looking to transport a firearm from Pretoria to Durban and RAM's fees are a bit ridiculous imo.
Someone suggested I use Blu Logistics so I contacted them and to my good fortune they quoted me Half the price that RAM did.
I'm a bit concerned as I've never heard of them before and there aren't too many courier companies in SA certified to transport firearms (this is the second one in my knowledge) and I really wouldn't want anything to go wrong and I'm sure the seller wouldn't either.
If anyone has used them, I would appreciate some feedback as well as any packing advice you could provide as they haven't been too helpful with that.
Thanks in advance

Re: Blu Logistics. Who's used them?
Up to now I was under the impression only RAM could courier FA's. If that has changed it will be good to know!
I would pack it into a hard-shell case, with internal padding. Lock all available locking tabs/holes with locks (and not cable ties, or sum such). Handgun cases go into RAM' plastic sleeves, so I would carton wrap a rifle case to "camouflage".
Never had an issue with RAM, but yes they charge for the service

Blu Logistics does seem to have the certification and I do know of one person who's used them to transport firearms. Just hoping to get a few more opinions
I am planning to pack that way if I can source a decent, affordable hard case on that end. Otherwise I'd have to make another plan

Bru, I've only got a quote from them but haven't used them because I had the good fortune that the seller brought down the firearms to me when he was passing through to go to the coast on holiday. But from what I've heard from them , they do most or all of the major firearm logistics from the shipping containers for most of the wholesalers

Oh and you can't lock or seal the case/ package until they've verified serial numbers etc
