Just plugged my Provari's tracking number into Canada Post:

DateTimeLocationDescriptionRetail LocationSignatory Name
2012/11/0916:11MISSISSAUGA Item processed at postal facility
13:49MISSISSAUGA Item was released by Customs and is now with Canada Post for processing
13:48MISSISSAUGA International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs

I hate to say it, Projectguy, but I think you set a precedent. I can see the scene at customs now:

Customs Officer 1: Hang on a sec. Here's another one from that Provape place.

Customs Officer 2: Oh, crap. Remember that guy who kept phoning us?

Customs Officer 1: The one who sounded very suave and sophisticated, while still managing to convey how ...... he was?

Customs Officer 2: That's the guy. Talking to him, I felt like it was my job to keep puppies away from kids. Do we want a repeat of that situation?

Customs Officer 1: Well, judging by *this* guy's name and address, he sounds like quite the heartthrob, too. Let's not risk his wrath.

Customs Officer 2: Yeah. Just pass it through.

You seem like you appreciate my sense of humour, but if it's too soon, just let me know, and please accept my apologies in advance.

Edit: Congrats on the Sidewinder! Mind if I borrow a horseshoe or two? I'll be sure to sterilize them before I return them.

From the ridiculous to the sublime. I just won a Zenesis Sidewinder in a contest on Vapor Wall and weirdness of weirdness that one is located in Crotia. So we'll see how that will work

Hurray! Congrats! Here's hoping it arrives in record time and that you love it :)

*giggles*... I know I appreciate it.... in fact that made me chuckle audibly ;)

I think we all owe Projectguy a debt of gratitude.... your pain may well have helped pave the way to smoother shipments for all.
*bowing humbly and applauding*

Thanks everyone

Wow I can actually believe that it's true. I was stuck in traffic driving home after the usual crunch friday and my brother (same mother same father) texts me and says I won the Sidewinder on Vapor Wall. I drive a Hybrid (and vape a few too) so I'm not an aggressive driver. Chuchalubra time.

I headed straight for the Mac's Milk and bought lottery tickets.

I'm amazed, thankful every day I can be here.

You're all amazing people

It looks like some people goto extremes to get their Provari's/zap's etc across the border :D

Hey Tyger, how far out in the valley do you live? I head into Vancouver once a month for our Vancouver Vape meet and wondered if you had any interest in going?
I'm a little farther out in Abby, and while there's no shortage of interest on my part, I'm a single-mom without any trusted child-care for now (still pretty new in this community).... so atm, I'm kind of housebound for such things. I really really appreciate the invite though, and when my little guy is a bit bigger and I'm able to leave him, I'd definitely love to get to meet the gang!

How old is your little one? I can relate to the single mom thing as I am also a single mom. However my son is now 17 and will be 18 in April. I don't know how you would feel about leaving your kid with mine while we go out, but there is options for you!!! Let me know if this is something you would be interested in. The meets are the last Sunday of every month. You and I and my son could meet up first to make sure you are OK with him looking after your child. No pressure if you do not feel comfortable, just trying to give you some options.

Thanks Kathy! My little guy is not quite two... and he's quite a handful right now! Not bad.... but BUSY x10.... he's a whirlwind and has to touch, examine, play with and discover EVERYTHING. It's a little soon for both of us, but in the future it may be really cool. I'm really touched and appreciative of your kindness though. For now, while he's really little, I don't mind forgoing a few outings.

I am only a PM away if you ever change your mind. Single Moms should always look out for each other and I had a couple of friends with older kids that helped me when my guy was still a little one. I could always pick something up for you as well if you are ever in need. I go to every one of them and live only 10 minutes from Abbotsford.

Hijack away. Family trumps everything
