What are shipping costs like from the US? for canadian stores they seem to be a standord 10 bucks
oh and as for customs. iv only ever heard of larger orders, like over $100, being seized. do small orders have a better chance?
I've only ever ordered from Mount Baker Vapor in the US, and the shipping wasn't bad. They don't offer international flat rate, so it scaled with the size of the order. Started at about $8 for a single bottle (30mL), and by the time I placed the order of 6 bottles, it was around $12 I think. Remember you don't pay taxes either, and I was lucky enough not to get charged duty or taxes at customs (fairly common from what I read).
All in all, 6 x 30mL bottles, all with 3 extra flavour shots came to 55.96, minus 5.59 with a 10% discount code(they always have a couple active), plus 12.35 shipping.
Grand total of 62.72 USD. Price wise, you'll be hard pressed to find that up here unless you buy china juice, or a few odd house juice brands (East Coast Vape is one of the few I've found with comparable prices up here).
Like mentioned above, Dash Vapes sells MBV juice at similar prices unless you want the big 236mL bottles (only ~$40 direct from MBV!!!), and no risk of seizure at customs. Only downside is that only offer a smaller selection of MBV flavours, but have most of the popular brands. Even if you don't like menthol, try Hawk Sauce. I was never a menthol fan, but it's light and refreshing in this blend and even I love it.
I don't think size of the order really matters much. From what I've read, the customs guys just watch a conveyor belt go by and randomly choose stuff to inspect. Perhaps a larger package has an inherently larger chance to get chosen, but I wouldn't think by much. On the other hand, if a package DOES get seized, you have more on the line the more it's worth right? So if you wanna play the odds, I think placing more smaller orders is the way to go. That way any 1 order being seized is not a big deal. I
It's also worth noting that MBV will resend your order if it gets sent back, for free, but only once. They might resend a second time if you're that unlucky to get snagged twice on the same order, but you will likely have to pay for the shipping.
I've ordered twice from MBV and both got through without a problem, no duty or taxes, took about a 2 weeks to reach my door. One was the 6 bottle order above, and the second was an 8 bottle order.
