Customs Discussions -Outside Canada Orders/Shipping/Returns

[Channy]

i'm from Toronto, dying to order the starter kit from BLU, but just want to make sure that when the time finally comes, it'll make it safely (and i'm not really talking about Blu's own problems, just customs)

although i much rather prefer it be sent to my home, so please can someone let me know if my order will make it here to Toronto without being held.

thanks!

Hi, I just got off chat with BLU and they are not shipping to Canada anymore period... I've been waiting since the 28th of June, and finally decided to check in with Cs at blu about my order... Taylor then told me that alot of their shipments have been seized by customs so the President of blu decided to no longer ship here... she cancelled my order without me even asking...

All canadians with Blu orders that haven't shipped might as well cancel now...

That sucks so much!!! Canada sucks.

I just spoke to customer service for BLU myself just now and you're right Channy, Blu's Canadian customers are ****ed. I guess there are no longer any BLU customers in Canada now....

and what's worse is that apparenty not just BLU but all e-cigs will not be let into Canada...so this forum for Canadian Members should not exist anymore. There is no such thing as e-cigs in this damn country.

How long will it take for the Canadian government to smarten up??? i have very little faith that'll ever happen.

Melikey,
If you really interested in getting ecigs just check out the Canadian suppliers list and the suppliers announcements of stock - plenty of selection!

that's one of the reasons why this forum exists

[melikey]

COOL! thanks Misty,

sorry for freaking out like that, i just sorta lost all hope on getting an e-cig here in Canada after hearing about BLU, but after poking around these forums more I realize there are tons more companies, even some here in Canada!

i've already found one and i'm just about to order! thanks again!

there are many people from Canada. Customs crack down on the big players. I had a shipment arrive from china no problem

Sigh my order of 200ml of juice from HealthCabin has been sitting awaiting clearance from Customs since 15/07/09. 8 business days. Beginning to loose hope and get a tad pissed off....

does it have nicotine?

[TWiz]

So while I haven't actually heard from Canadian customs, Amy from Healthcabin saw my post and took a look into it from her end and told me that it does look like the shipment was seized.

Bollocks! I guess we will be paying roulette with customs on all future import orders.


The only up side to this is that Amy kindly offered to reship my order to an alternate address (I am looking at setting up a PO box in the US) so I can really recommend HealthCabin as a vendor.

PS my order was 100% ejuice and yes it had nicotine - vaping w/o nicotine strikes me as as sane as having an inflatable girlfriend.

it probably was seized cause of nicotine, lately i see posts that custom find nicotine in juice then u will be required to get doc prescription to get it released from custom.
