Parcelforce have made the bizarre and inexplicable decision to stop handling any swords (from antiques to fencing foils) from 7 May 2024. This has thrown many businesses and organisations into confusion, and left us without a current shipping partner.
Please see my letter and statement below, and feel free to forward this, contact Parcelforce and write to your MPs:

We feel incredibly disappointed and betrayed by Royal Mail and Parcelforce, with whom many of us have had business accounts for decades. We have complied with all laws and regulations, carried out age checks and used age verification services. Many of us have customers worldwide and are renowned for our products. Our antique, movie/theatre, heritage/museum and fencing trades are world famous and we trade with the world.
