The steps for sending a firearm by Canada Post



Once the sale is concluded and you receive the authorization and documentation of the Canadian firearms program,
you must prepare the weapon to mail it to the buyer.

Canada Post is the only mail service who agrees to transport firearms between individuals.

It is imperative to follow the rules of the Canada Post regulations concerning packing firearms and addressing.


If Canada Post regulations are not respected, your weapon may be seized by Canada Post.

When necessary permissions are obtained to ship the firearms, they must be shipped as indicated by Canada Post.

Bestgunweb offers no support or liability, if you have a dispute concerning the shipment of a firearm with Canada Post.
