Redwolf Airsoft?
Do they ship to Canada? It says they do on their site but will it get taken at the borders or something?
thanks |
theres a good chance it would get stopped
dont risk it your best bet is to get age verified and browse the buy and sell on this site welcome to asc by the way |
Anyone can ship "to" the Canadian border. Whether Canada customs actually let the item across the border is a different issue. If the item in question is an airsoft gun, you can basically forget about the idea.

It matter's on what your ordering???

There is a basic list in the FAQ section that I can't seem to find at the moment (just got up...) that lists what you can and cannot import. But also take into account that whether it gets seized or not has little to do with the actual laws and lots to do with what that specific inspector thinks.
For example, non-prohibited length pistol slides and barrels, M203 shells, and mags with dummy rounds visible (TM G36 lowcaps for example) are NOT against the rules but OFTEN get dinged because lots of customs inspectors think they are against the rules. Then you need to go through a long appeal process if you don't want them to just destroy it. Mechboxes have also been seized from time to time, there is always a risk regardless. Things like whole guns, receivers, and things that are really obviously restricted/prohibited gun parts are illegal. Things like solid colour mags, internal components, inner/outer barrels, RIS/RAS units, etc. are all okay 99% of the time. Also remember if you order from the States they have several EXPORT banns. Like NVG's, RIS/RAS units, body armour, anything made by Magpul, etc. etc. |

was wondering if this would ship here |
yes it will
|
It is possible that it will make it across. So many packages, so few customs agents.
I have had no problem shipping a couple of clear body guns (customs told me they were ok). I have then purchased the metal body parts seperatly with no issues either. Customs is hit and miss. 2 guys I work with had bottles of wine shipped to them as gifts last week. One got the wine, the other got an empty box with a letter in it saying it was confiscated. |

I know people who have gotten entire full metal AEG's across and semi-automatic blank firing replicas (as in full sized blanks, not just primers.) I also know people that have gotten springs seized because the customs inspector wasn't sure if they would shoot over 500fps or not. |
Is shipping the same deal with http://www.uncompany.com/ ?

You'll hear stories of people getting things through but they also did not tell you the things that got seized and destroyed and loss of money |

Ok well first off just to let u know, we do live in Canada :banghead:where our Custom guy's DO NOT know the difference nor have the training to tell the difference between Real Steel and Airsoft guns or most parts. So anything like lower metal receivers, front conversion kit's, mag's ect....will most likely be seized for they will think its Real steel parts and not Airsoft. Unless its a half clearsoft and half metal AEG or pistol, or if someone has gone against the Border Law and smuggled in a all black gun to sell u, then anything that looks Real Steel will be seized and u wont get it.
Just be careful and hope that what ever u order will get through. |
I think you've missed the point Marty. It's not that they can't tell the difference between airsoft guns and real guns, it's that Replica firearms aren't allowed, and airsoft guns are replica firearms.
|
Oh trust me I do know they are under that Class. But I do know u can still order half clear and half metal AEG's and pistol's and most parts though. But we do live in a Country (Canada) that is against Airsoft, and unless 90% of the Airsoft team's and retailers in this country dont band together and save our Hobby from getting Banned all together....then once our Govt decides to ban ALL Airsoft related gear, parts, and gun's, then we can kiss our Hobby and Sport goodbye. Its sad really, but it might become real life soon.
Im just putting my point out there....Sorry if Ive cause any grief? |
Hmmm...how bout a G&P PEQ Laser (not a battery box), I heard that some lasers arent allowed into Canada...can anyone shed some light?
|
Usually most accessories are allowed in as long as it does not say a weapon name
Like one time they opened up my package and held my Holster Which said 1911 Pistol Holster (But all they saw was Pistol) and taxed me extra on it Then another time I was getting some TM mags and they accidentally put Pistol Magazines and that was opened to and examined Just make sure you accessories don't say a weapon name, cause Customs will seize and open anything and tax it extra, even if it says Pistol 150% KA Spring they will only see the word Pistol and open it |
It depends on the strength of the laser. At certain frequencies (Mostly really high or really low), they become illegal because they're dangerous. Normal red light lasers shouldn't be a problem though. However, as already stated, customs people are pretty random and it all depends on the guy dealing with the package.
|
hmmm, I tried looking for more info, but all it says it's a red-light laser...
|
Any laser you are buying from redwolf or any firearms accessories or airsoft accessories manufacturer won't be powerful enough to be stopped at the border.
|
yeah...thought so...thanks!!!
