LOL its alright. They are shipping it back to me but this time they have some sort of ancient chinese secret. Just costing me a little more then it should have, but I knew the risks, just unfortunate it was my very first China order. I think they go 1,2,3,4, check that one and I was that one lol. Maybe I should play 6/49

I'm not all that sure why anyone would mess around with customs if you don't have to, I know stuff is cheaper from there but it seems like a real pain to save a few bucks.


With hardware, yeah in the quantities the avg vaper burns.

But software is a whole nother ball game, just look at nic base you could loose about 5 shipments to customs and if the 6th got through you break even with what you'd pay here (and that's regular price base compared to ours on sale).

Like any other order "out of country" that gets "refused entry" and not SEIZED, it is returned to the sender. At which point "most" will resend, resend to alternate addresses, or give you credit less shipping costs (read the senders TOS/TOU), all at the cost of only TIME & EFFORT.

So do as you want, plan ahead, and live with your decisions.

I will continue to order both hardware AND juice from anywhere I feel like dealing with in long advance of being in a panic mode following understanding the risks involved, and the vendors performance at handling such situations.

I dunno, I have enough grief waiting for a lot of my supplement shipments which are totally legit to clear customs, I don't doubt that it is cheaper, however if I look at what I would save in a whole year ordering from China instead of Canada it's not a whole lot. So for a few extra bucks I can get my stuff sent to me very quickly with no hassle or wondering which is worth paying a little extra for to me anyway.

If I were a supplier in Canada I would solicit special orders by PM here on the forum and would offer to get you pretty much anything you want, at a markup of course, for those who don't want to bother with customs. So there's a possible opportunity for someone to make some extra money, and I for one would be interested.
