Order from the US will be reviewed by canadian customs.

[jonathanxx]

Hi,
i placed an order from madvapes last week.
It contain some batterys , some attys and a bottle of e liquid.
The order arrived this week in Canada and so far it is held at the customs, on the canada post page when i track my order, it says that customs will reviewed my packadge.
First i would like to know, if it contain e liquid and they see it, will they seize my packadge??
Also how long can it take at the customs??
Thanks.

From my understanding, one of three thing may occur.

1) They find the e liquid, and send the package back to the vendor. The vendor will probably attempt to resend if this happens.

2) They find the e liquid, and remove it, and send the rest to you (doubtful)

3) They find it, don't know what it is, let it pass, and send you the package

Thanks, i hope the 3rd option will be the one.

Customs can take anywhere from 1 day to a galactic year. It just depends on how busy they are with other packages, what they have to do to inspect your package, and whether or not the inspector that has your package is still in the current Survivor pool.

If there's juice, they have the option of sending the package back to MadVapes, but I've also heard tell that some people got their packages sans juice, so I guess they may end up doing that too. The general suggestion is that if you need juice and hardware, order them separately. Yeah, it costs more, but you're far more likely to get hardware (which rarely if ever gets stopped -- I've heard of them seizing cartos) than juice.

'Tis the unfortunate reality of dealing with E-juice and customs, I'm afraid. We'll just keep our fingers crossed that the inspector that gets your package is either in a good mood or isn't quite as aware of the nic restrictions or doesn't recognize your stuff for what it is.

Just some advice for the future... If at all possible, try to separate your order, juice from hardware. That way, if your juice is flagged and sent back, your hardware still makes it through.

Edit: Mindfield and I think alike! He hit post before I did

In the futur i thin i will rely on canadian vendors, it might be less problematic.
It sucks cuz, im almost out of juice, and the juice i have left taste like crap, and i only have 1 atty that is almost dead, it taste nothing at all.

Some American vendors will fib on the declaration form and it always gets through. The trick is knowing which vendors do this.

I know of one, heard free shipping as well

Sorry to hear that. Some vendors outside Canada will specify juice orders will be shipped separately from Hardware with the purchaser bearing the extra delivery costs. At least you have vendors in your Province that you could order from in a pinch.

I'm 37 for 38 orders so far (from the u.s, china & europe.) I'm not sure what happened to that 1 package but it doesn't really matter. Just the cost of doing business as they say.

Or buy off the classifieds from us Northern friendly sellers. Make sure you tell a seller how to send to Canada if they never have before. The declaration form is small, short and easy to use. Keep in mind the smallest package to Canada we can send cost about $5 to mail. So offer the seller the difference in shipping.
Oh, and you could always suggest juice orders be shipped to "Chef John Doe" as "liquid flavorings".

GH1 curves the truth also...

lol.. I've written 'Dog Feces' on a customs declaration before and it made it through. I doubt they read but one in every thousand packages.

My order from Madvapes finally arrived, it looks like the customs open up the packadge but they havent seized anything , even the 50 ml bottle of e liquid
I had two 14500 batterys , two 306 attys, two drip tips and the eliquid.
Yippii!

Cool and congrats. Actually on Oct 20 I got a "final warning" about a delivery from the Post Office. Picked it up on the 20th and today I received the original Post Office notification

I am just curious how ling it took to receive the letter from customs? The one place that I always get my juice from in the states has always taken 3 weeks to arrive, give or take a day. I have been waiting for 5 weeks for my last order and with no tracking number I have no idea what happened to it. I figured if customs had it I would have gotten a letter by now?

What do you mean by final warning?
