    Shipping firearms by Canada Post

    Customers who wish to ship firearms must:
    1. unload the firearms
    2. attach a secure locking device to the firearms
    3. lock the firearms in a sturdy, non-transparent container, and
    4. remove the bolt or bolt carrier from any automatic firearms (if removable).


    Consumer is also limited to regular parcel with signature, and consumer with business contract can use expedited service with proof of age option.

    Firearms cannot be shipped via air and cannot have any markings on the outside of the packaging. The customer is solely responsible for meeting all Canadian Firearms Centre regulations.

    I don’t know Greentips, the more it is said the more people ask then they look for ways around it.
    I’m sure there is more to your public service announcement and I thank you for this and the web site you have developed.

    Ammunition cannot be sent via Canada Post, so, no.

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

    No carrier whatsoever will agree to ship a firearm and ammo in the same container/box. These must be separated.

    Unless the fire arm is being shipped in a hard case remove any accessories , scopes, lasers,Bipods forward grips and any other dodads ,the ruff handling will have them breaking threw the box,get bent or brocken off and lost . Pack them separate in the same box . Just had a rifle delivered with the scope bent like a banana ( read scrap!) Working threw a claim now , time will tell if I will get restitution .

    I have noticed in the last year, canada post clerks getting very nosy as to the contents of damn near any package you send through the mail. My wife got pestered about "gun boxes" at xmas time..even though she was not shipping anything remotely close to a firearm. She was told that any box that looks like a rifle being shipped will now be subject to a separate line of questioning..and canada post will cut it open if they feel like it...

    I haven't had any issues from my LCPO (local canada post office)... even with big long boxes with black wrapping. I even transport these boxes ala "Terminator 2 style" - when he's in the mall with boxes of roses

    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.
