he.now uses loom is and they need to check for a trigger Leo, that it is unloaded and then you repack the gun in their presence or in your car and bring it back, if you go home you start again
and it is 165 to ship from Alberta to Ontario for a rifle in 54 inch cardboard case. Great
so you need tape, a label and so on what a load of crap
can anyone confirm this new so called procedure?
I should have a copy of the letter in the next few days

as seen on nutters to this exact post.
it really doesn't matter if there was a letter or not. Even though they seem to think otherwise

I hope this resolves your issue. Let me also point out the law specifically names Canada post and not other shipping company. I know for a fact that Fedex does not ship firearms or firearms parts they are considered "non shippable" for them unsure of other couriers rules.
