Shipping guns?

[RoscoeP]

Are there any issues with shipping long guns through Canada Post? Empty of course with no ammo in the box, pretty sure they do but not positive.

Never had an issue, follow the rules above and you should be good to go.

I've shipped dozens of guns through Canada Post, never an issue, once it's wrapped up its just another parcel !

never had any issue other than them leaving them at doors in plain view to be stolen, when i talk to them about that, as i feel its intentional, they know its a gun,. they say put no drop shipping on it i believe, then it wont be left...or not suposed to be left at a door.
ive had 2 left in plain view here,

Signature required solves the issue of it being dropped off unattended

Never had a rifle arrive with a locking device, save for NIB from a retailer; and even then, it was a simple keyless device.

Not every time. I've had several left on my door step that were signature required. Followed up with Canada Post twice in the last six months and got nowhere other than frustrated.

Insure everything and hope for the best.

same here with signature required
even if no one is home they still just leave it at the door

I've had parcels left at the door but never once when signature is required........?

Depends on the hire a posty, I've had 2 dropped on the door and not signed a thing. Good thing I'm honest!

To add to the OP's question, get enough insurance to cover the cost of a new gun not the price of the current sale. It's $3/100 IIRC and is worth it if things go sideways
