Shipping Ammo - what are the how-to's?

It might not be the seller shipping it by CP but the other service such as canpar handing it off to CP for rural delivery. They do that all the time around here. Ive never order ammo online though.

Yes, this happens around here (rurally) fairly often. Sometimes the contractor who delivers the CP also delivers for everyone else.
However, if they indeed are shipping it Canada Post entirely....it's a $50,000 fine for a first offence.

Doesn't matter they are still not declaring what is in it and labeling it properly then from the start
Cannot post will not accept it if that was done regardless if it is canpar or who ever
Requires a Hazard label on the package and a completed shipper declaration form

Cheers

Re-read my last post. Some rural CP deliveries are done by contractors who do deliveries for nearly ALL carriers. It is possible that they would handle the ammunition for another carrier while handling CP deliveries. I would pick up my legally shipped ammo at the same post office as my mail. Sometimes the slip would be in my mailbox (but not a CP slip).

I can read it 10 times and it doesn't matter who ends up delivering it
It was never boxed , labeled and declared right from the start that is the problem For what it is worth I am rural here also and my delivery guy is also a contractor but he never delivers my ammo since it is never hidden in an unmarked shipment
Cheers
Note below one example of correct

In case of an accident involving ammunition, it might be
vital that the emergency response personnel (i.e. police,
fire brigade, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) etc.) is
able to identify quickly which packaging (e.g. ammunition
boxes, propellant charge containers) actually holds
ammunition and which kind of ammunition is present.
For this reason, transportation packaging containing
ammunition should have inscriptions and/or signs on
the outside that provide information on the actual contents
tents of the packaging and the potential danger deriving
from it. For the latter purpose so called hazard labels (cf.
Annex 6) are particularly useful.
In order to avoid inappropriate actions of the emergency
response personnel in case of an accident, the aforementioned
hazard labels should be removed from packaging
containing no ammunition.

Transport canada
Dangerous goods safety marks are required to be displayed on a means of containment containing dangerous goods in transport. Dangerous goods safety marks include labels, placards, orange panels, signs, marine pollutant marks, numbers, letters, abbreviations and words used to identify dangerous goods and to show the nature of the danger they pose.
Dangerous goods safety marks give a quick identification of dangerous goods in the event of an emergency situation such as an accident or an accidental release of dangerous goods from a means of containment
Dangerous goods safety marks are also an awareness tool for people involved in transportation, including truck drivers, train crews, loading dock workers, reception personnel at a lab or a hospital and aircraft loading personnel.

Shipping by Canpar will probably cost you $140.00-$150.00 give or take. So, you if can sell your ammo for more than the difference between your purchase cost and the shipping cost, that's what I would do. Also, keep in mind what you have to pay for ammo in Prince Rupert (likely more than in Vancouver).

Yes they do have a legal requirement to know what is being shipped.
The company can be stopped anywhere along the route for a routine inspection.

I've Been driving a truck since 1989 and in all those years I have never had the cops or MTO pull me over and open any boxes on a truck . package it up seal it up put fragile stickers on it and be done with it. now that's just my opinion. and I can't see the cops or MTO pulling over a moving truck and opening the boxes in the back . maybe in Russia or somewhere like that but not in Canada.

Think about what you are saying. With your logic you might as well haul drugs better money to be made
For me there is always a first time
