Dear valued customer,

As of today, Canpar is no longer accepting any firearms or ammunition packages, we will alternate all the packages originally to be shipped by Canpar to other couriers.

Free shipping option over $300 before tax will still be available online for all major cities in Canada, but due to the COVID 19 pandemic, couriers are increasing their rates and often update areas, and we will try our best to cover the basic shipping fees and some additional costs. Unfortunately oversize, overweight, remote, or extended area fees will not be covered.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Stay safe and healthy!
 
Do you know if this effects all of Canpar's customer's? Or is this specific to firearm related businesses only?
 
How long will it be before Trudeau forces Canada Post to stop shipping for the firearms industry as well . No doubt they would argue that shipping firearms is just too dangerous , and puts Postal workers at risk .
 
No they don’t, they bought UPS Freight, I company separate from UPS parcel services.

I think that would require a rewrite (new regulations?) of the Firearms Act as aren't there provisions in it about shipping via Canada Post? Not saying it's not gonna happen though.
 
Firearms are not considered dangerous goods.

Insurance premiums are the culprit here. I'd guess that dangerous goods are probably such a small portion of Canpars portfolio that the additional premiums are not fiscally prudent. It's the exact reason Canada Post will not ship them. Insurance rates have skyrocketed across the board over the last year.

If that was the case (insurance issues), Can Par would still be shipping firearms and parts. But they've blocked those, too.
