I'm interested in purchasing a restricted firearm from gunpost.ca. Since it's restricted, their suggested Canada Post Cost-on-Delivery method doesn't really work, as the transfer would need to be completed before it can be shipped.

Has anyone found/used a reliable online escrow service that supports escrow for firearms? Or, some other safe way to purchase a used restricted firearm to eliminate the risk of a scam on either side?

Use Canadian gun nutz, it’s more secure than gunpost and has a better rating system.
