How does everyone ship guns through Canada Post . Do you print your own labels at home ? Or take the box to the Post Office and they take care of it . I'm told because it's a firearm I have to do all the wok at home . But most of the time I can't print the labels due to the website being down . What a bunch of BS

Shipping requirements
Canadians can send firearms to other adults of legal age. To send firearms, you must open a Solutions for Small Business account and create labels for shipping firearms using the online shipping tool Snap Ship.

Maybe reread what I just posted...
Make sure your VPN is off for canada post site.
I never or have never had to print a shipping label before taking it into a CP outlet for further processing.
Wrap it up so the item is completely covered and addressed ready to go.
Chill out and don't overthink it.

Where did you say this in your original post ?
Have sold 10 or 12 or more firearms over the last few years not once has the contractor at Pharma-Save or Crappy Tire has asked me the question you elude to....
You asked and I answered your question and that has been my experience since being a member here since 2010ish.
Curious as to what is different from the SSBA label then one created at home?
And why must I have to open an account?
If I open an account & never have to declare what is in my non-descript box(sporting equipment).
The insurance cost would be based on the value I tell them like any other expedited shipment with signature that I have sent without the SSBA.

You'll have to ask commie post why you have to open an account.
I don't ask them anything, they are a crown corp & they work for the tax payer. And I will treat them as such.
Just like when I ship packages to the US & they want a detailed description of what's in the package. I tell them they don't work for US Customs & if they have a problem with my package they will contact me, return it, or seize it.
For the record I print my own labels, if the firearm doesn't have it's original case I purchase a soft case lock it, trigger lock, inside a cardboard box & ship it expedited with the right amount of insurance & an adult signature required.
Canada Post & their business sign up is for business's that benefit from lower rates when you ship lots of packages, not someone who ships once in a blue moon.

Wonder if any firearms were in his mail hoard?

An arbitrator has ordered the reinstatement of an Ontario postman fired for hoarding at least 6,000 pieces of mail during the summer of 2022 because Canada Post wasn’t aware of his post-traumatic stress disorder.
Hyun Min Jang was terminated from his job as a rural and suburban mail carrier in King City, Ont., “for misdirection and delay of mail, as a result of the discovery of thousands of pieces of undelivered mail in his personal vehicle,” according to a recent decision from Kathleen G. O’Neil, the arbitrator.
“Items retrieved from (Jang’s) vehicle included a great variety of mail, some of significant importance to customers such as wedding invitations, cheques, health cards, tickets, jury summons and immigration documents,” O’Neil said.
“The delay in delivery ranged from days to over two months. As well, keys to community mail boxes and other property belonging to the employer were found.”
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers grieved Jang’s termination.
“The union acknowledges the undelivered mail as major misconduct for a mail carrier, but asks that (Jang) be reinstated to his position with appropriate accommodation for a health condition that affected the conduct that led to his discharge,” O’Neil said.
“The employer asks that the discharge be upheld.”
The union argued “that the medical evidence negates some of the intentionality in (Jang’s) delay of mail, and efforts to conceal the problem from the employer, despite the fact that he knew what he was doing was wrong,” said the decision.
“His underlying PTSD left him more vulnerable to the avoidant behaviour that partially explains his inability to deliver the mail and failure to alert management, in the union’s view. Counsel argues that this is the only plausible explanation supported by the evidence. Further, union counsel underlines that (Jang) derived no benefit from the situation, and was coming in early and working late, amounting to many unpaid hours trying to deal with the backlog.”
The arbitrator sided with Jang.
“I have decided to reinstate (Jang as a rural and suburban mail carrier) without compensation, given that at the time of the discharge, the employer was unaware of (his) medical condition, or its effect on his ability to do his job,” O’Neil said.
“He is to be returned to his position at King City, or such other position on which the parties can agree, on the condition that he can provide adequate medical evidence to establish his fitness to return to duty, and whether any current medical conditions would impact his ability to perform his duties to the extent that he would need accommodation.”
Until Jang “can provide evidence of his fitness to return to work, with or without accommodation, (he) is to be considered to be on authorized leave without pay, with access to such benefits as the collective agreement provides,” she said.
Jang, who needed a Korean interpreter for the arbitration hearing, “worked successfully for Canada Post for approximately eight years, starting in 2014,” said O’Neil’s decision dated Dec. 16, 2025.
“In late June 2022, he transferred from a route in Brampton to one in King City (40 kilometres north of Toronto), which he found considerably more challenging. He fell seriously behind over the summer and by mid-September, he had accumulated about six thousand pieces of undelivered mail in his vehicle.”
A psychiatrist who testified in the case indicated Jang’s PTSD symptoms “originated in early life, and that his vulnerability to having symptoms surface would likely be lifelong,” said the decision.
Jang “found the route at King City very difficult, with the need to manually sort a high volume of mail, which was different from his previous assignment in Brampton,” it said.
He also “found the mood at the King City facility ‘dark,’ and felt intimidated by his colleagues, interpreting facial expressions and lack of greetings as unwelcoming, especially as compared to what he described as a family atmosphere in Brampton.”
Jang “recognized in his evidence that his colleagues might not have felt that way, but said that memories of his childhood abuse came flooding back,” said the decision.
“At some point in his tenure at King City, a colleague noticed some error (Jang) had made, and commented that if he made another mistake, he would be fired. She later said it was a joke. Nonetheless, in the context of the general atmosphere at King City, (Jang) testified it had a deep effect on him. He said that he felt suffocated at King City and he experienced this as similar to when he was young and bullied, sometimes violently, at school.”
Jang “described a variety of symptoms from the summer of 2022,” that included “difficulty sleeping and eating, intrusive memories of childhood bullying and abuse, a frequently racing heart, feeling mentally and physically exhausted to the point of suicidal ideation at times.”
Jang “was also unsure of the supervisory structure at King City, which did not have an embedded manager,” said the decision.
“He was supervised by a non-managerial postmaster at King City, whose role he was unclear about, while he had had a supportive onsite manager in Brampton.”
Complaints from customers on his route about delayed or missing mail led a postmaster to discover mail left in Jang’s vehicle on Sept. 14, 2022.
Canada Post has been in dire financial straits. Its most recent quarterly report in November included a $541-million before-tax loss, the largest in its history.

What kind of moron tells a counter clerk the package contents ?
The customer is only responsible for declaring the contents are legally mailable and contains no dangerous goods.
It would be absolutely beyond stupid to declare the box contains A Rolex watch, gold coins, $20k diamond bracelet or gun.
You might as well ship in a clear plastic container.

I had more than one business account and have saved with next to no volume. I don't think they will be doing it in future but in the last few years they had one package free shipping every Tuesday in October for business accounts. I was able to ship stuff for free. I was also able to send some stuff to a very young great nephew who got really excited over small fishing gear received by him personally, zero cost to me.
Oh maybe I am part of the loss reason.

I use the snap ship service offered on the Canada Post website.
The only benefits are expedited shipping for pennies more than regular shipping but with the advantage of quicker package arrival and printing out the shipping label in any size you want for concise clear addresses and easily read bar codes.
Another plus is I can give the box to anyone going to town to drop off.
There are pizz poor employees in every job.
From 1st Responders to Doctors and Lawyers and yeah even Door Dash drivers or Politicians and we do not need to look far to
see who they are.
The Can Post carrier steeling mail he/she didnt deliver has little or nothing to do with the O/P's thread other than it is another CanPost biotch sesh.
Tight Groups,

**as a side note this Union Thug" does not approve of theft from employer or others ...
