Hey guys, just this last summer I ended up buying some tracer 223(projectiles only) and had it sent to me via Canada Post. Didn't put tracking on it but never got to me. . Anyone else experience this? I know that tracer is NOT illegal but a gray area here. What is the justification for stopping it?

My .308 projectiles have been lost for 2 months. Canada post is retarded. And what is with the price of UPS. They charged me $29 to ship a box of 6.5x54ms to a house 2 hours away!
 
There has been tracking numbers provided with every level of package for over a year now....
Unless it was sent as oversized letter then that doesn't have tracking.
 
get packages sent to the west instead on east where I live, postal code is right they just assume it must be the west (residential) instead of east (business) only way I know is by tracking, it says delivered so I drive 10 mins to get it, not sure why the family there receives it but she does, If I do not go get it she blacks out the address and puts it back in the mail box
 
Cannot ship ammunition by Canada Post. If they find it they seize it and have it disposed of. They must do checks because I know they have turned lots of stuff for disposal including, dummy hand grenades , model rockets because of the engines, automotive airbags etc.

Last I checked, a projectile is not considered ammunition

Ok , cant ship ammunition or dangerous goods. They have a list on the Canada Post website. Pretty sure tracer projectiles is a violation.

Canada Post rarely x-ray stuff mailed within Canada. Though who knows what sort sniffers they have in the system to check for explosive traces.

Canada Customs does x-ray almost everything coming into canada though and strictly enforces Canada Post's rules for them.
