They may want to wait until the Coq reopens in late January before shipping them from the Port of Vancouver to Alberta for distribution. I think they're only letting essential supplies through on the 2 lane mountain highways that remain open , so we don't know if a firearms shipment would be allowed through. Plus it's the Christmas shipping season further complicated by the BC flood related road closures, so it may make sense to wait on shipping until January regardless of the truck getting through on a non-Coq route. And TI has learned it's no use selling them until you have them in hand to ship :p

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air . . .

Should arrive around mid-December. Postal system is going to be a disaster though we're going to wait until 1st week of January before putting up for sale. We'll make official announcement and launch date/time in advance so people have more time to prepare this time around :)

Just an update guys, the shipment cleared customs in November but due to Vancouver Port container backlog it is was only picked up this week. In order to avoid Canada Post Christmas madness and to give our staff some much needed R&R for the holidays we decided to push releasing until 1st week of January, most likely the 3rd or 4th. Happy holidays :)

Before the truck with the container from Vancouver leaves for the Alberta distribution point, has Tactical Imports made sure the shipment will be allowed through with the travel restrictions from the highway damage, https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/natural-disaster/support/restrictions#travel ?

I hate to be a spoil sport, but if the shipment doesn't match the above and gets stopped, TI would be out the cost of shipping to the point of stoppage and back to Vancouver. If its going to be stopped, its better it sits in place until non-essential trips are cleared or the Coquihalla Highway reopens (though their may be an announcement on a sooner then expected re-opening shortly).
 
Would it cost TI money? I assume they don't actually own and run shipping trucks, they pay a company to do it and if that companies truck gets turned around the shipping company is out of money not TI.

Shipping company: we broke the law and got fined 10k please gibe money /s

Good point, it probably depends on the terms of the contract.
 
If you think a trucking company will hand out refunds instead of charging you for storage costs, and costs for returning the product, I got a bridge to sell you.
