Buy recommendations Gunpost

Buying on gunpost, how do you guys get more peace of mind? Looking at buying a rifle and the guy is not close so I’m gonna have to get it shipped. His reviews are all good, has a bunch. Just wondering if anyone has anymore tips?

Not sure if this helps but I’ve bought and sold probably more than 30+ firearms alone on gunpost. I haven’t experienced a single issue with shipping items and receiving them myself. As long as the person has good reviews and is trustworthy you’re more likely than not going to be fine. It makes no difference than when ordering from a gunshop online. Essentially once the firearm is with canadapost or the courier it’s now the liability of them (not the seller) to get it to you safely (this is normal everywhere). You could pay for insurance for more peace of mind but honestly I never have.

I think I’m more so worried about being scammed, it’s not a cheap rifle lol! That does help a bit though thank you

You can request cash on delivery so you dont pay anything until its delivered by canada post. You pay canada post then they send a cheque to the seller. There's a small fee (i think around $10) and you have to pay for the insurance but very little risk of scam.
