Casting a net, but if it was insured, possibly contacting Edmonton Police service and telling them it is a missing 'Assault Rifle' might help.
(for the record, I HATE the term ''assault rifle'' but perhaps it will carry more weight, even if you need to pull out the gun grabber term)

I know a guy that works in the Edmonton and he said there is some real winners working there. One guy of east asian descent comes to work and always wants to go home after 2-3 hours of work. They always tell him no so he sh!t his pants so he gets to go home. He does this 2 or 3 times a week. Another guy they caught stealing cards. He always stole birthday and christmas cards. He opened them and stole the money out of them.

Not only does this sucks, but I'm quite surprised they didn't give a crap that a thirty five hundred dollar rifle just went missing.
What happens if it falls into the wrong hands?

The Vancouver main post office branch lost a restricted rifle that was shipped to me by a site sponsor. It was missing for four days at which point I stood at the front counter after telling the staff that they lost a gun. Took her 30 mins and she found it tucked away in a "little used room". Internal theft? Can't prove it since it was found.

Seems to me that this whole thread is a very good reminder to all of us to ship using a box that looks nothing like a rifle, or use a courier. Label the box as "LIVING ROOM BLINDS".

I am surprised the way the RCMP handled the situation. A large package such as rifle doesn't just disappear...

Just further proof that most of LE isn't interested in keeping people safe, their interested in going after low hanging fruit.
What's worse - a Tavor on the black market/on the streets, or a handgun without its symbolic trigger lock/locked case???
It seems to me that someone should be looking harder at what transpires at the Edmonton sorting facility.

UPS doesn't ship guns.
20 years and shipped over 300 guns and 1000s packages. They never lost none.
Have you thought about reporting this to CBC Go Public?
http://www.cbc.ca/news/gopublic
I dealt with the GoPublic team before and they seem keen to do a good story. A few months ago, one of my friend's friend's two Samoyed were found wandering the street and he was charged by my city's with Dog-At-Large. A few days later, he was charged again and this time he reviewed his home's CCTV footage and found that a city's animal protection officers snuck into his backyard and released his dogs from their pens. He took the footage to the city and the city dropped all charges. I contacted GoPublic on my friend's friend behalf and they seem quite eager to do the story, however, my friend's friend refused to share his story. Don't know why.
Getting back on track, this is a good story. Apathetic Law Enforcement, a lost and dangerous assault weapon (I know this term is BS, I am sensationalising the story), corruption within Canada Post. This screams

^^^^As good as this sounds, it could back fire.
Imagine the spin the antis can put on this?
What? Guns are shipped via CanPost? What? An assault rifle is missing? What? Why are these scaary looking guns allowed here?
Is that fully automatic? Is that an AR-15? These should be banned!
This situation will quickly become a gun problem and a gun owners problem. CanPost won't even be blamed at all. Such is the way the media will twist this.

Don't worry. The CBC can highlight it and we can have the horse cops decide no more transfers or shipping between individual. Yeah we could only gain to lose by this method of reporting.

We can't just keep hiding and hoping.
When they f-up, people need to know, just like when one of us do....
They do ship guns I have sent a rifle out for warranty twice with them mind you shipping label came from Savage Canada. so maybe two different rules. one for company's and one for the rest of us.
How was it packaged was the label permanently affixed to the box it was being shipped in. Meaning was it possible the label with the TO and FROM could have easily come off if it was wet or torn. Was it written on the box as back up, was there only one label? Nine times out of ten most shippers rely on a flimsy label with small print stuck to one side of a box covered with paper to secure a package. Whenever you ship something through a courier think to yourself if my single label comes off will they know where to ship my package. Also was the label put directly on the hard case and no tape over top of it? Did you just rely on Canada posts label?
The fact that the package is missing means a few things.
1 it wasn't packaged properly, because most people have no idea how packages are really treated in these places and the gun has come out of the box. The gun and the box with the label are now in two separate areas.
2 The label has been damaged in some way and they have no clue where it supposed to go. It's sitting in a building somewhere waiting for someone to determine what to do with it. They will eventually open the box as per procedure to see if there is any further shipping details inside.
3 The package opened or was thought to look like a gun shipment and it was stolen by someone in there warehouses. Depending on the size of the gun and where the last scan was in the country will help. A major depo in a large city will have metal detectors and guards. A small depo in a small town or city usually does not. Most can walk in and out unchallenged.
4 The package got to its destination city or town went out on road with a driver who identified the contents as being a gun and stole it. Or another driver who does not deliver to your postal code identified the package to be a gun put it in his truck when no one was looking (no one would notice anyhow in a sea of packages) and stole it putting the blame on the other driver. Once either driver leaves the couriers depo all they record is gps coordinates of the drivers truck not the package. They know that.
5 The package was delivered to the wrong address and as a signature not required. They are now trying to figure out where it went. Or the address they did deliver it to in error is holding the package waiting for the courier company to send someone to pick it up. Or they opened it saw a gun, called the police and they have it.
6 Depending where in Canada you live the delivery was outsourced to a second or even third party delivery company. The label has come off, it's sitting there warehouse, or it was stolen.
It all depends on those facts and how you packaged the shipment.
I'm not being specific to Canada Post in anyway or saying that's how Canada Post does bussiness let's say that's how "most other" courier companies do things. Or how most shipments go missing from them.
