Application / Regulation advice Picking up packages across the border

Niche question I have that relates to the firearms community but not directly firearms related.

I’ve been eyeing some rifle bags (specially the Saviour Equipment SUP bags). Can’t seem to find them in Canada from any of our retailers (in store or online) so figured next best option would be to order from their online store but they only ship within the states. Fair enough, so I was planning to ship to and pick up at a PO Box in Washington state and drive back across the border. I live in Vancouver and the practice of getting packages delivered to a PO Box in Washington to get picked up and declaring them when returning is pretty common.

However, what would the legalities be for picking up a rifle bag and transporting that across the border? Obviously I intend to declare it as if it was any other usual purchase. And of course I know better than to order firearms/parts and doing so. But what about bags/pouches specifically designed to store/transport firearms?

Or am I simply overthinking it? Any and all comments are appreciated!

Edit* thanks for the replies! Definitely reassuring to know it’s okay and should be fine

For what its worth, Bullseye North actually carries Saviour Equipment bags. If they don't have the one you're looking for, perhaps you can reach out to do a special order?

I would've recommended this option as well, but I placed a special order back in January. They told me they would get me in the next order, it seems like that shipment had come in last month.

Reached out and they said it was still being processed. Not sure what that actually entails seems like they just forgot to order it.

Would not recommend this route.
