Shipping magazined from US disassembled

[IM_Lugger]

I need to get 10 round magazines shipped to me from US. Is it a good idea to take them apart and send mag. bodies and springs/ followers separate? That is what the seller suggested. I'm worried that if customs open the package they might assume I'm trying to smuggle in hi-cap mags? I don't think it's a good idea...

what do you guys think?

ship them as is if they are 10rd mags..

brownells always ships them (10 round pistol) assembled. no problem with Customs

 

[IM_Lugger]

do they have to be declared as magazines or it it say accessories or parts on the box?

how does brownells declaires them?

There is no reason to ship mags disassembled. Brownell's simply label them as pistol or rifle mags as the case may be.

I've had no problems getting factory 10 round mags fully assembled.

I have bought several Glock mag's off ebay and never had an issue with 10 round cap.

And try to get them sent USPS, NOT UPS unless you like nice, stiff brokerage fees!

Send it disassembled, and I bet release is delayed while the magazine is reassembled and tested.

Not just brokerage fees. If UPS finds out there is anything gun-related in your package, they will return to sender without notice.

Brokerage fees

My one experience with UPS.

Years ago I bought a Long Lee from Milarm and they sent it UPS.
When it got to the border some ratbag broker charged me fifty bucks to type two SHORT paragraphs on a single sheet of paper saying, "Yes it is an antique!" Further purchases were sent USPS.
