I have received 3 firearms recently from different dealers. All three came in their original box, unlocked and the boxes wrapped in brown paper with just my name and address. I had to sign for them of course so they had been registered. One dealer in Quebec would not send me the firearm until I had received my registration certificate from the CFO. The other 2 came before the certificates. Two of the dealers had included shipping in the price (so I don't know the cost) the other charged $40.00. All came through Canada Post as blacksmithden stated. Money first I guess.
