How would you expect a used restricted item be packaged for mailing?

[skoal]

Its law for us private sellers.

I use a zip tie unless noted in my ad that it ships with trigger lock.

 

[Can-down]

that is my read. unless CP picks it up, you have to get the item to the post office some how. it is not like a delivery pick up where you theoretically may not know what is contained within.
maybe i am wrong....?

That sounds more like justification for a short term ATT.

 

[GunGuy34]

I think its a Canada Post rule.

I shipped a revolver to Murray Charlton once and he said I had to have the gun trigger locked and locked in a case as it was law. I told him that Ive had dealers ship me guns without tigger locks and not locked in a case, he said the law for a private individual is different then that for a dealer.

See link below: says it clearly right there.

Ok so you need a STATT to take it to the post office, the restricted needs to be locked accordingly in transportation. You are not to open it I believe until transporting it is done. There for on its journey, it is to remain in a locked container and trigger locked (zip ties might do the trick). That would be the legal procedure I believe.


Thank you gunguy34! Beat me to it!

Those Canada Post rules don't seem to jive with reality.

Customers who wish to ship firearms must:

unload the firearms
attach a secure locking device to the firearms
lock the firearms in a sturdy, non-transparent container, and
remove the bolt or bolt carrier from any automatic firearms (if removable).

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.

Ziptie trigger so it is locked.

Get a cheap pistol case or a good box.

Secure gun in box with bubble wrap or foam. If using pistol case just close it.

Ziptie the case shut or tape the crap out of the box

If using a pistol case I will put it in a box address & tape it up good, or if using a box I wrap it in shipping paper and address it.

Call for temp att to post office.

Send it tracked with signature and 18+ verification.

Send it and track it!

I didnt make the dumb rules, just saying they are out there. Just like most firearms laws, they are confusing at best.

I realize that and thank you for posting this.
It's obviously not widely known or followed.

Looks like you nailed it.
I'd still make sure that factory pistol box keeps all the inside parts tight.

certainly not.

Packing tape is your friend.

Hardcase w/bubble wrap, packing peanuts/newspaper so nothing moves inside, in a strong cardboard box and "bombproof" tape it with industrial packing tape, which is like $2/roll.

Sold a bunch and have never had a problem. Takes a few minutes to open it, but any package you send someone should arrive without damage.

That's how I would like to get it and send it..

 

[TDC]

If cp doesn't know what's in the box then violating their rules(not the law) is a moot point.

That sounds more like justification for a short term ATT.

If you knowingly take a restricted to the post office to mail it, you need a STATT

Yes.

In a hard plastic case,it arrived perfect.

Sure, its Canada Post's policy, but is it the law?

"...he said I had to have the gun trigger locked and locked in a case as it was law. I told him that Ive had dealers ship me guns without tigger locks and not locked in a case, he said the law for a private individual is different then that for a dealer."

I haven't read all the posts but I "disable" the trigger with a zip-tie (or two) ensuring the frame, etc. doesn't get scuffed and lock the factory plastic case with a couple more zips.
The case then goes into a custom box made from coroplast, fully taped (with packing tape), wrapped with heavy waxed "butcher's" paper, add a few "Fragile" stickers, print buyers address info and attach with return address.
The package then gets a complete tape job that covers everything....a little overkill but I have nightmares thinking about how those Postal Gorillas handle things (no offence to those who sort packages for a living). Package gets sent via Canada Post Expedited with full insurance coverage and Signature required.
....and don't forget to call the CFO for a TATT.

You're more than good to go... nice

 

[liberal-hater]

True, but you could send the key while you are waiting for the transfer to approve (on a restricted at least), or use a combination one and email the code.

Good God, I think maybe you're serious.
