Can I ship anything that I want?

We strongly advise that you always need to abide by government rules and regulations as well as the rules of the carrier you are using. These rules protect the carrier employees and transport vehicles. The Government rules protect the population of the country.

There are many prohibited items, or dangerous items, that cannot be shipped without special licenses and permissions. A great example would be weapons. Extra steps are necessary to ship weapons across Canada and the world.

If you plan on shipping items that could be thought of as dangerous, please check customs websites or call us.
We have a whole section on prohibited items, here on our site.
