Can_supplier, please stop complaining about how bad and hard to do your business is! If you don't feel comfortable with it, just close the doors and find something more easy to do and more profitable. This forum is full of your posts with indeed misleading or at least not so correct information. Want some personal stats? Here you go - 12 nic juice orders, one refused (not seized, was returned to the shipper) or 92% went through. Total loss - $5, the cost of this particular shipping only. Very same package got re-shipped with different description and went through as well. 20-30-50 bottles order is certainly not "for personal use" and if you have problem importing such quantities, I do not. Many people do not. About hardware - 100% goes through. Batteries, atomizers, empty carts, chargers, boxes... everything with no nic contents inside - never had any problems! This is my personal experience. Am I super lucky guy?
Many people say "we must support Canadian suppliers". Well, in fact we can't support anybody's illegal business by just paying higher prices. This way we can support only our laziness to search for best deals and our impatience to get the stuff tomorrow. The main question that comes in mind is "how Canadian suppliers are going to support us in case they have to close the business under enforcement"? It is real threat, isn't it? Imagine I was a very "supportive" customer with $200-300 in hardware and this much in juices. Where will be my customer service? Where I can get spare parts? Who will replace my bad battery under warranty? The bad, slow, unreliable etc. Chinese suppliers? Come on guys!
Btw, I get excellent support from my Chinese supplier. Nothing to complain about. I got replaced all defective parts under warranty (some bad batteries, few bad atomizers). He does not wait to get the parts back, just sends the replacement ones (according to my list) with my next order. Nice and easy. The products I receive are exactly the same like products Canadian suppliers sale. No difference in the quality, very same products from very same manufacturers. About the nic juices - proper packaging and proper description does the trick. Customs do not open or check not suspicious packages. I send him my requirements, he follows the instructions, I get the juice at my door. And the return address is not the same. Am I doing my "business" better than you?
Just my $2...
P.S. I am not here to argue with anybody. This is just my reaction on now hard, risky, expensive and slow is importing stuff for personal use from China. I have read many post here saying this but from my personal experience I find it incorrect and misleading. Especially when this information comes from a local merchant. I believe this forum is not intended to be suppliers advertisement space. The information members share should be correct, proven and helpful, not business oriented.
