Hey Bro

You shouldn't have any trouble.Just have the person label package paintball parts on the customs slip if possible take some of it appart.

Shouldn't be a problem, just use common sense and don't write "gun" anywhere on the customes form to be safe.

Depends on how it was shipped. Canada Post can sit on items for quite a while. They are the biggest dog fornicators around. AGD was on the verge of shipping me a new intelliframe when the one they had shipped me originally finally arrived.
You want to stay away from UPS too, as they seem to have the worst brokerage fees.

Good luck with it.

I've had the same experiences as Cartman. UPS charges ourageuos custsoms brokerage fees, and USPS/Canada Post can take a couple of months for some unknown reason.

The delay isn't Canada Post or USPS, it's Customs. They hold stuff until they see fit, especially if it's something unusual. Oh, and if you put "gun" anywhere in or on the package, count on never seeing it again.

And stay away from UPS.

The Post Office blamed Customs when I called them, too. But that makes no sense when UPS or FedEx can get packages through Customs in only a day or two.

I've shipped plenty of paintball equipment to Canada in the past. I've never had it delayed.
