Looking to ship a gun across the Canadian border, is it safe?

MacWhorter · 08-23-2008, 08:02 PM

I was wondering if there are any conflicts involved with shipping paintball guns across the border, will customs allow it? it will be my first time doing this. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Should be no problem as long as you don't call it a gun. Plenty of markers have made their way north without incident.

Yea man, no worries, I sent you a PM

Just use USPS for the love of anything lovable. Saves us shmucks in canuckistan a goodly deal of pain with brokerage fees.

And just remember that duty and taxes are not your responsibility, regardless of what the buyer might want to convince you.

HEY! im the buyer

and its a trade....So what should i use to send a marker to him? from canuckistan lol

USPS is the only way to go for international shipping.

Pneumatic paint device. Pneumatic paint parts. Used sports equipment.

Thats what all my paintball things are. Used sports equipment may be best. Pneuamtic paint device is very accurate so they cant be made at vagueness.

Gift is a good box to check. Just dont lie. "football helmet" and they find a DYE barrel "wtf is this doomsday pipe eh?!" or whatever.

Hey Jam. Declare yours similarly. I generally use "pneumatic marking equipment".
Ship it via Canada Post expedited or small packet international.

"vintage paperweight" works, and may even be accurate...
