Hi, I'm looking for some suggestions on safe methods / ways of shipping weed from Canada. I've been doing some research, found a lot of good ways from the US, but not so much for Canada. I'm going to be vacuum sealing my product, and initially intend on shipping to the US and Canada, and hopefully in the near future to World Wide locations.
Thanks!

Anyone have any tips for Canuck vendors? Lots of good info here for Americans but I can't find much for Canadian shipping methods.
Seems the best method are the prepaid Xpresspost cushion envelopes. You'd have to buy them at the counter but then you can anonymously dead drop them in the box of your choice with tracking. Not sure how many you can buy at once without being suspicious since most people needing them would have business accounts and not paying in cash. Regular mail is also an option if you can do without the tracking and the extra delivery time, but you want those things if you're starting out. Everyone ordering from you at first is looking for every reason to call you a scammer so getting it to them quickly with tracking info is a good way to avoid panic attacks and multi-page slander threads.
For international shipping, Canada Post has an online shipping tool where it will print off the postage and customs form, charge your credit card and then you can drop it in the mailbox without facing any cameras or interactions. You could probably use a Virtual Credit Card (VCC) bought with Bitcoins from here for even better anonymity.

Shipping within Canada, you use XpressPost prepaid envelopes or regular mail and off you go. Make sure no handwritten addresses, no personal name to personal name, no shipping from a PO box use a clever fake address that's real (apartment with no unit#, or slightly off Unit# of an office building) and switch up addresses all the time.
Do not use priority courier ever. It's handed off to Purolator and they can open it, also a flag since cops assume all drugs shipments sent next day priority.
Also don't ship to Northern places like Nunavut/Yukon as employees will steal the mail if they know what it is. If you do ship there make ppl buy insurance or ship it incredibly flat and stealth.
If you send to Europe from Canada, don't use tracking it's a flag. Send envelopes very flat. Weed.. I do know some vendors who basically use the 7g stealth envelope method. They flatten the buds in a press, or place two peices of bendable plastic/cardboard in with the weed before vac sealing so it flattens it to hell when it's sealed. Then send as a stealth 7g envelope.
Not recommended. I would only ship hash/budder international no buds. Nobody likes flattened buds anyways or pre crushed/cut weed. Buy some bubble bags from Marc Emery's weed shop and make your own hash ftw.
Shipping to USA the bubble pouch method works but is risky. Switch to hash shipments.
Oh.. forgot. The RCMP have a lab they use to test suspicious shipments in the mail. Basically what happens is your stuff if it reeks of weed or falls out will be redirected there to confirm it's weed. Then they do controlled delivery or just destroy it, depending on amount (shipping LBS to Ontario probably controlled delivery).
So if suddenly your shipment is showing delayed or 're-weigh' in the system for a week or so it could be redirected to that lab. The RCMP also poke suspicious packages with wires trying to burst the vac bags to see if the drug dog can smell weed. You obviously defeat this by shipping all weed vac sealed and in cheap tupperware. :)
Lot's of Canadian mail order sites taking cash in the mail really isn't too much worry for weed at all. I remember budbuddy being on the front cover of the Vancouver Sun for shipping weed and nothing ever happened to him except his PO boxes were raided by the cops once in awhile. Bitcoin ftw x 2
