does hardware get ceased as well?

[johentie]

So I ordered my Gold Davide tank from Vivid Smoke on June 10th.

after the tracking info says it left the US... NOTHING....

i called CP and they said they have no idea... does customs take this long usually? i;ve had car parts pass customs faster and it usually says it;s at customs if it does take this long ; <

I had to wait a week once while a vaping stand was at customs and they chucked a £12 customs fee on it but i got it in the end and that was the longest i have ever had to wait - Ive never had a problem where something was ceased and not delivered. Maybe give it a couple more days and try contacting HMRC

Was there any juice in your order?

I had a similar issue occur recently as well. Ordered a KFL+, ohm meter, i2 charger and 2 VCT5's from the US. I was getting regular tracking updates up until Friday (13th) evening and then the tracking on Canada Post went dead. Tracking on USPS showed it cleared customs but CP could not find any information on it. It arrived later that week and CP updated once it had been delivered.

Another order (infinite 4nine) showed customs clearance on the USPS site but CP only showed sent for further processing this past Friday but it took until this morning for CP to update the status saying "Item processed".

Canada Post is being extremely slow with their updates and generally wonky as of late.

I've been waiting since May 29th when it left JFK. There was juice in it but mostly hardware. I hope Customs sends it back to supplier so as I can get my money returned.

if you must order juice from outside of Canada, you should order seperately from hardware so the entire lot does not get seized.

No juice in my order..just the hardware
USPS tracking is even stuck at "left for destination country" nothing about customs

 

[fourtytwo]

The parcel is stuck in Canadian customs. USPS does not track after it arrives in Canada.
Canada Post cannot do anything until CBSA releases it.
I have had very good luck with parcels passing through fairly quickly. Some on this forum have reported parcels taking multiple weeks before CBSA clears them...

You're not alone. Left USPS:

Canada Post website tracker:

Over 26 DAYS, will be FOUR WEEKS and not a word from Canada Customs or anyone.....

Some observations, if I may, from painful experience on a number of mods.

CBSA puts it into either their "don't know pile" or pick it out at random "for further examination by HC pile". One of two results with respect to mods: Turns it over to HC who can't do a thing about it (as long as there is no Juice involved) or releases it. Either way they have to release after 42 days.

Remember they cannot stop it from coming into the country, call them. The only downside is if the pricing is stamped all over the they will hit you with HST and if the manufactured origin is outside the US them duty as well.

Do I call them even if nic juice is involved? Would I get charged or put on some sort of list?

Nothing to loose pulp, you can argue that HC has no jurisdiction as nicotine is regulated under the Consumer and (forget what else) but they are humourless people and are a law unto themselves. In the future and I realize this is expensive but have the juice and the mod shipped separately

 

[johentie]

so i finally got it today ; >

bad news... do not buy this unit... Anyvape Davide BCC... maybe it's just mine but i put in juice and it started leaking right away... not only did that happen i placed it down it leaked 3/4 of my juice all over my desk through the air holes...

BAH.. all that anticipation for getting a GOLD clear/tank and this happens.. ; <
