Ordering From Canada - Delays, Duty, Etc?

[Glenn_K]

Greetings; I've only managed to find one vendor in Canada that sells Provaris (PRovarii?), and if I go this route it would mean paying up to $50 extra and waiting up to 10 extra days for delivery if the model/colour I want isn't in stock.

Has anyone north of the border ordered directly from Provape? What did that mean in terms of a shipment delay at the border and duty charges?

I could ask this question in the Canada forum, of course, but i'm not sure I want to say the "P" word outside of this forum (envy is so unattractive ).

I'll let the Canadians give you a better answer, but I didn't want to leave you hanging there, eh. (I ran this through Google translate English->Canadian, so please excuse any errors, eh.)

There's a few frequenters in this subforum who live up in the Hat & I'm pretty sure I've seen a few of them talking about getting stuff directly, it just took a little extra time since it had to clear customs.

Thanks for the replies, this is very helpful. Tax and duty = $21-ish isn't terrible at all.

8. Time at Canadian Customs: 22-minutes (Beat that!)

Twenty two minutes 'time at customs'? That's gotta be one for the record books.

Regards
Glenn

Very true. Once it hits our shores - Canada Post is known to mess-up the game infrequently while fielding between the provinces. Lucky, in my case USPS drops it at Mississauga and I live next door - at Brampton√

We get our juice internally, mostly Canadian made... we have some awesome vendors / mixers up here. Vaping is effortless here, as everywhere else. No issues.

But, but, but... No Pink Poison, Frost, Halycon, IB-Tots, Incognito, Fantasia etc. either for you

Vaping Boba's right now. They're not missing much. It's not bad, but it's not worth a quarter of they hype it gets.
