Possibly seized package, looking for anyone with past experiance

[accord96]

Hello,

I have got about 7 packages from China no problem, and have read the other posts. But my last package, ordered a while ago has this as tracking:

2009-07-06 15:29:00 CANADA VANCOUVER Handed over to Customs

If the order gets seized or sent back would it have an updated status?

Thanks,

call canada post for its status or perhap call custom.

I have contacted the seller with a concern. They got on the phone and had my order moving again that day. Mine was stuck for over a week before they called. Good luck.

you should be fine I had a order sit in customs for over 2 weeks with no update on the status and it was released but it had been opened and inspected .

 

[accord96]

Sounds good, and good to hear from a fellow Bc'er Tommy.

Thats what it says when it gets to Canada and the international shipping agency gives it to customs. Mine stayed there for 6 minutes. Some peoples stay for a few hours to a day.

You should be fine.

Also forgot to mention: i just received a JOY 510 from ruyandirect. Ordered it Monday two weeks ago and I arrived the following Monday.

I'm on my 10th day of waiting for my Riskee Yuice from puresmoker.....in the past I always got my stuff in 7 days from the time it shipped....I'm getting a little nervous and itchy!

I ordered from the states and have been refunded my money. Its been shipped on the 1rst and there's no way to track it. I'm not going to order outside of canada myself again, I can just image the wait and stress of having to send a faulty unit back and again. I did order from china before though and it got trough customs in 10mins. Hope you get your stuff.

Usually it goes through in a couple of hours, 2 days max in my past experiences but with this one it has been sitting in customs for over 22 days now.... which is why i thought it was very unusual.

Maybe another question, is if anyone has had their stuff seized or sent back; was there any notification or any bad letters/threats from customs that came?

Thanks again

My order has been listed as sitting in customs like you since the 15th, the rep from Healthcabin reached out to me and said it was seized - no word from customs or the post though.

Completely blows.

 

[accord96]

Do you know who she contacted? Also was it seized or sent back to them? What were the options then after the shipment was seized?

Thanks everyone for their help.

seized=no return it will be destroyed so your option would be 1.no e-cig for you or 2. buy from Canadian supplier =no custom .

So you are not getting your money back at least!?!?!???????

Good lord, I got an order coming in from Eastmall. Hope it doesn't get destroyed!

Im wondering how Canadian suppliers are managing to get product across the border and through customs in high quantities

while reading this, i was asking myself the very same question.. but most probably, they were getting high quantities easily before the FDA crap.. and now, Health Canada may be more vigilant.. i dont have a clue

I see it like the 9/11 and airport, you need to be ...-probed now before getting on a plane but before the event, anyone could get on a plane easily.

Just my 2¼ cents (need to add the ¼ since its a Canadian cent)

I'm guessing if they find something once coming from a certain compagny they'll have it on an alert list or something. I want to know if they refund too, kinda scared to order now.

Twiz! So fustrating and nerve-wracking to say the least!!

To date, as far I know, no shipment has been "seized" just "refused" and sent back to sender..so wondering if your order is going back rather than being destroyed..
and several of the suppliers will honor your money back minus shipping cost...
Keep us posted!

95% of blu shipment seized and i've gotten email from blu representative saying they wont ship to canada anymore cause almost all their order seized. and i got email cause i ordered before then cancelled it.

 

[Overlord]

Ya, Blu sent me the same email.

I think this is a really great time to support our great Canadian suppliers. Sure we might pay a bit more, but i'd happily pay more for a safe and secure order than risking loosing money by ordering outside the country.

Just a thought.
