Great start AlastairR..
So.. it costs NZ GBP 50 to transport firearms into the UK...
That is currently around AUD$ 77... so again... Charge the punter $200? Still doesn't fly. (Pardon the pun)
Cost recovery is fine... not going to argue with that. It does however have to be COST recovery.. not rampant overcharging and profit taking.
I imagine also that the UK is your highest figure for such handling... not only due to their particularly stringent import requirements and laws, but also as that would be the reason you choose to quote it.
And yes, I realise that assumption is cynical of me but given these developments.. the weasel wording on "Premium seats" etc and the sudden backtracking or incompetence (on domestic firearm charges) are you actually surprised about that?
