Courier to use for ammo?

[RickF]

I need to send about 400 rounds of ammo from BC to my dad in Nova Scotia. From experience, which is the courier of choice to do this? Any idea what their ammo surcharge is?

Thanks guys.

Based on my recent experience; not DHL. See my post of August 26.

I think the question has basically been answered, but who does Higginson use?

I used Canpar successfully last month.
No surchages, but if the weight goes over 30 lbs the price goes up.
400 rnds packaged should be under 30 lbs.

Greyhound will not ship ammo or powder.

I have had great experience with DHL and purolater was nothing but hard ache maybe its all just luck of the draw???

Based on my experience with DHL; read the fine print (i.e. terms and conditions) on the back of the waybill and be willing to accept these terms by signing your waybill. It does not matter when (or by what obscure route) they get it to the receiver, as long as it eventually gets to the final destination. Trust me, it could pass through every province and territory in Canada before it gets to the final destination.....

I have used Canpar. I declared that it was live ammunition and there was absolutely no problemo.
