Need some shipping advice, Large orders China to Canada

[vapourdude]

Hello everyone. If there is anyone who can help, please do. I have completed order of a significant amount of e-cigs. I am using ups to ship ( China to Canada) and would love some experienced advice about the commercial invoice and duties and such.
Perhaps this is not proper way to go about this and i apologize if that is the case!
I must admit to being nervous with the first shipment and all.
Is UPS better than Ems for large shipments. Duties and such. Customs scares me the most!
Again any help would be greatly appreciated.

All of my large China orders - $200 to $350 - have been shipped via EMS, and all arrived in a timely fashion without being hassled by customs, but I'm in the US, not Canada, so I can't really offer any advice. Best of luck to you.

What's EMS? I will be looking to order a quantity of ecigs in February. Does this EMS apply to U.S. also?

UPS will brokerage rape you for sure with ANY orders outside of Canada.... EMS has done me fine, the odd time they catch it parcels for taxes & duty, but more times not.

If your order large... then I normally will order hardware separate from juices to avoid "losing" the lot to customs should they inspect rather than just the juice.

Now that you've popped your post cherry... make sure to come join us in the Canadian Members sub-forum for Canadian specifics..

Hey all,

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. After much agonizing i decided to stay with Ems, since i have used them alot for small packages and they do very well. We will see!!!

Thanks again
