I just checked Canada Post and my 8.5 Grizzly is making its way from them to me now and should arrive on Friday, my Birthday! I had never ordered from them before but it was a really great experience, I had email exchanges with Paul and Chris and spoke to Dan. All were very nice and professional and a pleasure to deal with. I think that given they have a new website in fresh beta, a huge (judging by the Facebook photo) load of shotguns to process and half crazed customers like myself to deal with, asking a dozen stupid questions, their three day unpacking, processing to shipped time was amazing and I for one really appreciate the effort.

Thank you VERY much CanadaAmmo and I WILL be orgering from you again based on your great service!
 
They are great guys. Put up with our child like impatience and incessant nagging...and still give us sweet products! Haha. This won't be the first time they get your money :D
 
Lol, I'm like a kid tracking Santa on NORAD, my Grizz is in Cowtown now as of 7:19 tonight!

As an aside does anyone know if you can replace the foregrip of the 8.5 with a full size 870 grip?
 
I got a call last week that mine was being sent out soon. Haven't heard anything yet.
Murphey's law says it will show up while I'm out of town.
Does anybody know how long the Post Office will hold a package before they send it back? Can somebody else from my family pick it up?
P.S. CanAm is like Crack. Once you buy one thing...you'll be back! :)
 
I'm not sure about the official time a Post Office will hold things but I know it's at least a week at mine, a phone call to the Post Mistress (at our local) would make sure it didn't get sent back. Ours is pretty small so it might be an exception. You can down load a simple form off the Canada Post website that you print, fill out (one page, takes 2 min) authorizing someone to pick up / sign for your mail and hand in to your local Postal Outlet. They keep the letter on file and after that all the other person needs is ID. Not sure on the transporting a firearm side of things from the Post Office to your home. I'm sure if the other person has a PAL you are good to go.

Here is the link to the form you need,

Does that work with CanPar? (what CanAm uses) I was wondering about this the other day because I live in the country and get my packages shipped to the post office, but if they need a signature and I am not there...what happens?
 
Same for me, I do a lot of online buying and selling so I set up a mail box in town at a UPS store in my name and ship anything there that won't ship to my PO Box (country home like you,) the staff there can sign for me pay duties etc but this option might be expenive if you didn't get a lot of packages. However most things within Canada seem to work out with less hassle through good old CP . ymmv.

I believe CanAm can ship Canada Post as that is how they shipped mine.
 
Oh really? If I got my shotgun shipped Canada Post then I could get my post office lady to sign for it. That could work. Most people don't ship to PO boxes so I just use the post office address as my address and then the post office puts it in my mailbox. Works good except when signatures are required.
 
I've had a number of long guns shipped to my PO Box, no trouble at all, I or the wife (we have that CP form filled out for each other to pick up anything in the others name) just sign for them when we pick them up.

To be honest I always wonder about people who use their actual street address / physical location ot get guns shipped to. I try not to advertise I have guns at my house, but that just might be my tinfoil hat showing ;).
