The title says it all.

Yes as long as it is not restricted for you. I can take visa/MC amex. But remeber packages have been held by customs and opened before. I marked the package contents tag as a holster but it only happened once.

Thanks, AJames, that's good news. I notice that some other companies don't ship outside the States. Is it possible to ship via the postal service rather than UPS? They charge criminal rates to clear items through customs. - Duncan

Oh yea I use the post office to ship.

Beware of shipping knives or guns to Canada. I wanted a custom knife sheath made by a guy in Ontario. It would have required that I send my knife to him, and he warned me not to. He claimed more than one knife sent to him was nabbed by customs and never forwarded to him or returned to the sender. Apparently, 'assisted opening', (i.e., those that can be opened with one hand) knives are considered by Canadian customs to be auto knives, and as such are illegal to import. Similar restrictions may apply to firearms; I'd check with customs officials first before shipping.

Thanks Scrondar, I won't be trying to import any guns or knives. You're right it's not worth the hastle. Parts and accessories on the other hand should not be a problem.

that,s the problem with customs they don,t do there job properly they deny items from coming into the country example (spring assisted knives )perfectly legal in canada alot of you local shops have them . but because they are not well informed enough they think it is like a switchblade and just say no this has happened many times with other things they have no right keeping.

You would think so; not always the case. We have had several shipments delayed, two "seized". The Canadian Customs don't care what is legal, they will take and delay what they want. Gun Parts=Bad in their eyes. It is sad, but the truth.
