Application / Regulation advice How to ship ammo Ont to BC

Moving this summer. Not driving and for reasons have to fly.

I know some airlines offer 5kg ammo checked in luggage once declared. I'm not sure if that's 5kg per bag or total per passenger.

Thing is I have a couple thousand rounds to move.

Canada Post says it's dangerous goods. Looks like UPS or Purolator only ships it via third-party.

Seema like it'll be more costly to move than to rebuy.

is there something I can do or best to sell it?

You're best to sell it locally and re-buy it. Shipping ammo is expensive, especially as an individual.

If you're using a moving company to move you stuff, they can usually transport firearms and ammo.

It's dangerous goods. And they won't touch restricted.

I had an IT job with a moving company when I was in university and they did move restricted firearms and ammo. Maybe try a different company.
