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?

It is dangerous goods, but I’ve never seen a moving company say no to it. It’s 1 page of paperwork and it goes on the truck with everything g else.

I assumed the issue was everything you owned was coming with you on the plane… moving company should be solving this problem for you.

Does your moving company also have an issue with a drill battery? That’s a dangerous good too… present in basically every household in the country.
