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?

Lucky. This one won't. They say it's dangerous goods.

It would be a shame if the sealed packing boxes of ammo were mislabeled "fishing weights" or "sporting goods" and somehow ended up in the stack of boxes the movers took... a real shame.

Yeah seriously this.... some people are just too honest for their own good.

That's a good one. A tote or two with "canned food" labels. No one needs to know the cans are brass and feed a rifle.
