Firearms, parts and ammunition A valid New Zealand firearms licence is required.
Air rifles You must be 18 or older, or hold a firearms licence.

Complete Section 1

Enter the relevant purchaser, product and delivery information.

Seller / Supplier

Forms supplied by us will already include Delta Mike Ltd’s information.

Firearms / Parts

Enter the make, model, calibre and quantity of the products being purchased.

Ammunition

Enter the calibre and quantity being purchased.

Purchaser’s Delivery Address

  • Firearm parts: Can be shipped to your residential address.
  • Firearms: Must be delivered to your nearest Mainfreight depot or a local firearms dealer. Please contact the dealer before nominating them.
  • Air rifles: May be shipped directly to your residential address.

Delivery to your nearest Mainfreight depot does not incur an additional fee. A firearms dealer may charge a receiving or transfer fee.

Visit Your Local Police Station

Print the form and take it, along with your firearms licence, to your local Police station in person. Your local station will have mail order forms on hand if you do not have a printer.

5

We Dispatch Your Order

Police will verify your firearms licence and return the completed form to us by email. Once it has been received and approved, we can dispatch your order.

Important: Having a firearm delivered to another firearms dealer does not remove the Mail Order Form requirement. As Delta Mike Ltd is the seller, we are legally required to verify the purchaser’s firearms licence.
