Shipping Gun Powder

[cody1]

Has anyone had luck shipping powder within Canada? Looking to ship 14lbs H50BMG and every currier I talk to has told me they won’t do it.

Anything would help!

Not as far fetched as one might think. And it might come down to that. Province to province to province(and Territory).

UPS won't do it?

When/if a carrier finally accepts the shipment be prepared for the enormous costs associated with dangerous goods shipping.

I’m pretty sure you’re boned.

This is the only way for non-commercial shippers.

Purolator with Dangerous Goods Sticker, that’s an extra $50 but used them last summer to ship ammo, etc.

Nobody ships dangerous goods anymore unless you have an actual business account with them. It's not like signing up at CP.

A can of smokeless powder is no more dangerous than the cardboard box it will be packaged in. IF the shipping container is on fire, then they have bigger problems than the contents of a 1lb can of gunpowder. Some of the rules in this country are downright stupid.

A shot in the dark here.... will your LGS ship it for you for an additional fee? It's free to ask and the worst case is they refuse.

The shipping itself isn't all that expensive (for 2024). It's the Dangerous Goods and Hazmat fees etc. I know that Purolator will ship it for a not too bad price, but you need to be registered with them as a business or else they won't ship Dangerous Goods.

If you know someone with a commercial account with one of these couriers (UPS, Purolator, etc.) maybe you could ask them if they'll ship it for you at their cost.

A box is a box is a box. I’ve done it many, many times.

A box is a box. With an incorrect return address...

 

[6MT]

Exactly!

Sporting goods ?

Cue a certain mod to remind us that discussion of illegal activity is not ok. No harm, no foul IMO.

Sss...

I'm guessing thousands of Latium batteries get shipped without the proper U>N labels on the box. Probably way more of a risk with them then a few lbs of powder.

The gas in the tank of the vehicle carrying the box of powder is far more dangerous than the powder.

Know any truck drivers. Worked for me in the past.
