Package seized at the Canadian border

[synergy008]

Hello,
I’m afraid that my package was seized at the Canadian border.

Called UPS and they said that there is a code K24 on my package and I should call Canada customs. Called Canada customs but no one answers. They want me to leeve a message but I didn’t.

I have 3000$ of stock in that package.

Any idea what will happen next?

That sux, Looks like your out some serious $$$

But welcome to ECF

Did you have nicotine liquids in the same package? They don't like those coming in.

The Canada section of ECF in National Forums would know more. But before you can post there you need 5 non-spammed posts or replies in New Members and about 1 hour wait.

And $3000? if you are a vendor I think you need to register on ECF as a Supplier

I'm hearing lately that shipments from the U.S. are easier to get into Canada and that Customs may have blacklisted some Chinese companies. Although more expensive I prefer to have my order shipped in different shipments as there's more chance of it getting through. Sometimes the hardware will be sent back to the vendor and the juice confiscated. Could always be worse such as in Singapore.

Has anyone in Canada ordered form ePuffer? They are a bit pricey on some things but at least you don't have to go thru customs with them I ordered ejuice and a slim super mini a couple years ago. This was before things got so dicey about customs and ecigs. They labeled the box air freshener LOL bnrk

There's lots of Cdn vendors but the prices are a little higher and there's not the selection of hardware that the U.S. has. Also near impossible and very expensive to buy flavorless Nic juice up here for the DIYer's. Getting a hold of PG is also a problem in some ares.

Always a good idea to be aware of these type possibilities before dropping that kind of coin ..

Oh I didn't know that. SO they handle food grade PG? Maybe try a nutrecutiacal company like Hansen, also out of Canada. I used to buy some food grade AAKG from them, but have since found a better price in US because of customs and shipping from Canada was getting out of hand. Anyway Hansen sells raw products for adding to foods, maybe see if they handle PG and VG too for that matter. bnrk

Thanks brnkwest but I ordered everything I needed for the next 1 1/2 yrs from RTS Vapes . Very happy with the price, service and quality. And ended up getting my Don from ElectronicStix.Com Your Premier Vaping Vendor Since 2008

I found the product list for Honson out of Canada, sorry my spelling was off! I do not see PG or VG listed Honson Someone must carry it in Canada. bnrk

I could buy it up here from the TSC Stores but they only sell it by the gallon LOL. I got some syringes from them though. Thanks for all your help.

Well get a gallon and have a vaping flavor party and then sell the rest to your vaping friends I am always thinking of how to make a buck! ha ha

The OP just asked about customs; nothing about selling or advertizing!

At least give him/her a chance to get da 'stuff' first...

It seems like a natural assumption, though. $3K worth of stuff seems mighty large for a personal order, unless the OP is the ultimate heavy vaper or was expecting a combined order for himself and 25 friends.

If I had 3000.00 invested , I think I would contact customs , and play stupid . I think they can only take nicotine and juices ( don't know Canadian law ) If that being the case , and some of your shipment is equipment and supplies . I would think they would have to turn those over . But check the laws there first . Good luck .

Not really when you consider the difficulty people in Canada have with getting pvs and supplies. Not to mention how much they pay for individual items to be shipped. It'd definitely pay to make one big order. They may also be ordering for a couple family members.

I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're right swedishfish.

Btw, I hope the humorous tone of my post did not offend. Iffy's post had a humorous tone to it, so I responded in kind. I was not attempting to make light of the OP's situation, though I guess that's just what I ended up doing. My apologies, synergy008.

No, it didn't. But I crack up every time I look at your avatar. I think it's hilarious.

I used to ship a lot of stuff to Canada and overseas and I know shipping costs can be nutz. I'd probably try to buy in bulk too.

I really feel for this person.

 

[synergy008]

Yes, I had nicotine liquids in the same package. I wonder if I could at least get the rest of it (batteries and accessories) or do they seize the whole thing?
