    Compound Bows from across the line.

    Just wanted to ask who has purchased bows online say ebay or other online sources? If so was there any issues with delivery? Thoughts? Concerns? And yes I have tried out many bows and I know exactly what I want, just want to try and save a few bucks if I could.

    It's relatively easy and painless to do. Just use their postal service and stay away from courier companies for shipping - cost a lot less.

    Last time I did it, which was a few years ago, I had no issues and the bow arrived sooner that expected. If you live close to the border, you may want to broker for yourself.

    No problem. Same as buying a blender. I did it, no issues at all. Not seen as a weapon as such.

    I have in the past with no issues. If buying used get as many pics as you can of the both. Even if the bow isn't damaged it can be surprising how many scratches are on it or how rusty some peoples bows are.

    stroh72....I'm also in Abbotsford. I won a PSE Bow Madness on Ebay, and had it shipped to Ship Happens in Sumas. The I went down and got it. No issues ,other than I had to pay the HST on the bow.

    Do it all the time ... tell the shipper to ship USPS ..... way cheaper and gets here typically faster than Fed ex or Brown

    If you carry a bow across yourself in your car, is there an issue? How about a crossbow?
