Customs Discussions -Outside Canada Orders/Shipping/Returns

[Misty]

Welcome, Spuddy
There is no "hit & miss" if you order from the Canadian suppliers listed in the Canadian Vendor thread in this forum - no customs involved.
We are just having discussions on this thread for orders out of country ie.China /USA..so if your "friend wants to be peaceful about receiving anything - just order from our own Canadian suppliers - guaranteed delivery

I've never had any problems with customs (yet). Both my order from China were received and released from Canadian customs the same day.

But I found a Canadian supplier (canvape.com). He's in Ontario. Yes his prices might be a bit higher, but considering that when we buy from the US we have to convert the US$ into CAN$, plus shipping is usually more expensive since it's international instead of national...well it comes out to pretty much the same, and I have the peace of mind because I'm sure I will receive my order since there's no customs

I love this seller for the hardware parts. But for the juices, I like to order small size bottles since I like to switch flavors a lot and try different ones, and I can't afford to spend $100/order on juice, so I have to make US orders to get 3ml bottles for less then $20. I have one juice order pending, all it says when I track it online is "Acceptance PORTLAND OR 97213 08/14/09 4:56pm". Can't wait to receive it and hopefully everything will be smotth with customs!

I have a quite big juice order (10 30ml bottles) from China and it's been showing at Customs for days now... wondering whether it will get thru at all? Here's the tracking info:

2009/08/20 21:28 VANCOUVER International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs
2009/08/19 23:35 International item has left the origin country and is en route to Canada
16:41 International item mailed in origin country

anyone care to share their experiences on such orders?

In regards to orders from the US, have any HARDWARE ONLY orders been held up, or orders containing nicotine/juice products?

[Misty]

My hardware from US has had no problem at all but they are sent loose.not in boxes of starter kits,.atomizers with no carts, Prodigy in bubble wrap etc..

puresmoker is going to replace my order of juice that never showed up. Real mystery with that one, customs did not send it back to them, I was never notified of anything, I think that package was just lost, but who knows. We'll see what happens with this shipment.
