shipping an airsoft gun in canada

[GreyFox132]

is there anything i need to know about shipping an airsoft gun from one place to another inside canada? Which shipping company should i use, how should it be packed ect. Everything you guys know would be helpful

You can use whatever shipping company you want. CP is usually ok, if a little unreliable.. just make sure you insure it. If you have the original box wrap it in brown shipping paper.

Not sure if many know this ... but on Canada Post website, they actually have a shipping policy for replica arms etc.
They are to be shipped regular parcel only.

Regardless if many of us still ship via Xpress...

Many carriers will not carry firearms or parts. Whether it's a replica, imitation or whatever, the guy scanning the box or the guy who sees it if it get's ripped open won't care about subtleties.

Ship CP, regular parcel with signature. It's the law for real and replica firearms.

Yeah, CP does have regulations, but everyone just ships airsoft guns however they want.

I thought I read somewhere where you have to label the package as a "toy" or something?

Why would you label the box as anything? It's not going through customs.

Just don't ship UPS. That's where I work
