Shipping firearms by Canada Post

[buzzmagoo]

Higher end guns I would offer the byer the opinion of a hard case ( a cheep Canadian tire one at least ). I have received rifles/shotguns with just a snap tye on the trigger or threw the mag well. But for the most part they have just come un locked or un tyed ( evan the one that come with there own locks included ) be shure and reforce the box ends( with extra cardboard so the muzzle won't poke threw ) and stuff the box with newspaper so it can't float around . I like to plastic wrap my boxes and duck tape the ends and any joints . If you do decide to lock it put the keys in a envelope and tape it to the in side of the box .

So am I supposed to put a lock on a gun and ship the key separately? And ship it only in a lockable hard case?

I have never received any firearms with a lock or in a hard case when I bought them online and got shipped to me via Canada Post.

The regulations quoted are correct, I have however also never received a firearm via Canada post that met the criteria listed above, is this something new?

I make sure I have insurance on the package, then they think twice about rough handling.

Ammunition, like any other explosives or dangerous goods cannot be shipped via Canada Post.

Just dont tell them.....

Is there any carrier that will ship ammunition seperately?

They most certainly do. Most of the ammo that gets shipped across country is done by UPS.

Yes, but one has to be a business in order for this...
This topic is covered bi-weekly.
You sir are correct, but incorrect.
CanPar is or has been the only carrier of ammo for us mere private individuals.
I do beleive there is a sticky on this as well.
One just has to search a little is all it takes.
