If not shipping by Canada Post, then who?
- Thread starter Why not?
- Start date
I find it easier just to keep them and not have to ship anything.
I can get behind this logic

Shipping is the cost of a good box of ammo most times.
I lost a sale not long ago when the seller asked me to take off the stock to save the the oversize charge..
I slipped with the Allen Key and scratched it, I contacted the buyer and he no longer wanted it.
Once somthing is for sale I wrao it in a towel and dont touch it

Shipped a 104 cm, 3.3 kg parcel yesterday. Fuel surcharge 10$, oversize 18$. With signature and taxes on the surcharges price went from 33$ to 73$ (BC to NB). Got an email from CP saying prices are increasing in sept, on top of the traditional 'busy period increase around the holidays.

Shipping in Canada is getting stupid. Ordered my kid some runners from Sportchecks on Monday August 22, going to be shipped by UPS, label has been created, nothing has moved since.
Bought some bullets from a site sponsor on Thursday August 25 going to be shipped by UPS, label has been created, nothing has moved since.
Bought a rifle from a fellow CGN’er, accepted at the Whitehorse post office on August 25, nothing has moved since.
Ordered something from Amazon.ca on Monday August 29. Item is coming from Kentucky, US with DHL. It’s currently out for delivery!

Last one I shipped was just the action and it was in province. Trigger lock lightly applied. I asked to use my small business account but it had been suspended from lack of use. Lots of packing and box tape. It was $30 or so plus insurance, the cheapest rate. It got there.
This is what I do.
Also with snap shipping it is amazing how any package that might be some where around 99-101 cm is not 99 cm

Canada post asked me to provide replacement value of the item lost. Maybe they would have accepted a quote or invoice similar item replacement part from a part store or something.
whitehorse has becoming a gong show related to shipping or receiving ... it may be as well canada post tracking ... before you were dropping it to the main post office at the depot and was shipped the same day now where ever you dropping it you re loosing at the best 2 days ... nothing is moving during week end or holiday and then you start to understand the delay ... we do have only one option now for the road adding an extra day, that winter will be something for getting things up here or leaving .... but at least you re not in inuvik where nothing is going for the next 4 days and nothing has been trough since friday ...
If ammo, powder or firearms are sent by a courier they must be delivered by the courier you sent them with or to a pickup location belonging to the courier, they cannot be passed to a different courier for delivery. I bought ammo recently and the courier being used was UPS and I had to pay extra to use Purolator as the courier, because UPS will not deliver to my location. I sent a rifle by courier last year, since I had not used the Snap label printing application and could not mail it because they can no longer indicate the minimum age of the receiver, when entering the shipping details at the post office, which you can do with the Snap label printing application.
