n00b Shipping Questions

[FlyDog]

Hey guys,

Got a total n00b question for ya lads. I could muck about the Canada Post and CFC websites, or I could just ask the brain trust. If I have ammo, or maybe even a gun, shipped out to to me what's the deal with the pickup? I'm guessing it requires a signature, but does it have to be mine? I've got a day job and am at work when the postman cometh. But, would it work if I have it shipped to my Dad's place or something? He's a retired Mountie with a POL and lots of free time.

Mostly a signature yes but if your not home it will just got back to the post office branch and u can pick it up when u have a chance.

Ammunition can't be shipped through Canada Post (someone like CanPar, DHL or UPS has to be used).

As long as someone is at the place and is Sixteen and older they can sign for it.No licence is needed.Have done it many times here.

Edit: It may be 18

I found ammo to be more of a pain than firearms; I barely caught the UPS guy, and if I had missed him, the closest depot was forty minutes away.
