Yes I will probably use a professional service. I just need now to determine which service to use. I don't mind paying a fair price for good service but I don't want to pay more than what's fair either. If I was driving I would do this myself. I have brought guns into Mexico and helped friends from Mexico brings guns into the US for hunting. Zero issues legally taking guns and ammunition into Mexico and paperwork on both sides took less than an hour. Used form 6 to bring guns into the US and again my experience with getting the permits was smooth and every time took less than 6 weeks.
That's why I struggle to understand why it could possibly be that hard to bring a shotgun in from Canada.
Next call will be to Irunguns to understand the full cost to bring a shotgun in if I use them.
If you know of other companies that would be great.
