Seems pretty localized honestly,around here canpar is IMPOSSIBLE to deal with,and UPS is great,but seems everyone’s gonna have their own experience judging by other threads
 
The survey doesn't say it all. Some people might prefer canpar but will accept shipping by other courriers. Lots of people (including me) will outright boycott any dealer shipping by canpar. It's not that we don't like the dealer, it's that we physically can't deal with canpar's BS.

There was a thread on canada ammo's forum that lasted for months and hundreds of posts about canpar's nonexistent service. We don't see threads like that about other courriers.

^This - Canpar is a no go - they are useless.
 
Have ammo and supplies shipped by canpar all the time without issues, live in Vancouver.

Since they’re usually the cheapest, that’s what I prefer.

Canpar has been great in my area (despite negative reviews from elsewhere). UPS would leave packages at the door on a few occasions until I strongly complained to the vendors. It seems problems depend on a particular area and distribution center.
 
Canpar is shzt....ups is good. If the receiver has sign up to their mychoice. They can either pre release or have it hodl for pick up at their choices of 711 or convenience store.
 
Canpar is horrible. Look at their google reviews over 90 reviews and a 1.6 rating.Pretty much says it all . I gave them a 1 it's all they deserve
 
I clicked Canpar because haven't had any issues with ammo sent by them at all, they bring it to the door and I take it inside, pretty simple stuff. Actually haven't had any issues with any shipping company with probably 100 or so deliveries to my door.

I suspect Canpar is a logical choice for most retailers with customer looking for free or next to free shipping. Hard to find fault them with the asking price involved. The OCD, can't wait an extra minute for my x-mas stuff, crowd that won't pay for better may not agree however.

UPS the driver for my area just leaves the package on my front step whether I'm there or not. If I can't be there to get a parcel it's no problem the driver even signs for it if it is a signature required parcel. I don't have to go chase it around half the country like I would if it were Canpar
 
Seems like most delivery issues surround the receiver never being around at the address written on the label. Can't really blame the shipping company for that. If you're not likely to be at the delivery address to receive the package as written on the invoice then either use the address you'll be at or contact them and provide a specific set of alternative instructions.
 
Here in Calgary, neither CanPar or UPS is more reliable than the other (For me, anyways). UPS will leave a package on my doorstep (Which works out, thanks to the fact that I live in a relatively decent neighborhood), whereas I have to drive to pick up CanPar packages. Bit of an inconvenience, but more secure that way. No experience with any other carrier for ammo. I picked UPS, because I'm lazy.
