Ships with canister empty, but I got mine refilled for free at a local BCA dealer. I deployed the airbag to test it, and got it refilled a second time for $7 at a local scuba shop. Apparently anywhere that refills paintball gun canisters is another place to check.

Due to hazmat regs, we have to ship our canisters empty. Apologies for the inconvenience - we hope to have a more streamlined solution soon!

I just got one a month ago and it shipped with an empty canister. quite frustrating since it is counties away to find a filling station.

It does, but it only ships via ground. FAA regulations prevent shipping pressurized containers on an airplane. So, no overnight shipping and no travelling with a charged canister.

I would certainly hope so, and would guess that would be the case.
