well that comment really put a damper on this thread
do u work for customs?

Nope, but I'm simply trying to say don't hate the people hate the system they work for.

I know it sucks, I don't wish anyone's shipments to be turned away. But it's not the fault of just one person doing a job that they have been told to do.

It's all good dude. I didn't take offense to it. I wasn't aiming to pick fights. Just making sure anger was directed in the right area

That is true. When I lived in Vancouver years ago, I had a friend (still is by the way) who was a cop. When he wasn't in uniform he was great guy, but as soon as he put the badge on, he turned into the biggest .... imaginable. He went from good friend, to good cop I guess!

Wow! 4 days?

Mine cleared in 16 hours. What were they doing? Testing it for you?

Actually they cleared Customs in 19 minutes. The 4 day disappearance was due to the fact that they shipped directly from San Fran to Mississauga whereas they would have usually gone through Vancouver. It was definitely a cause for concern because we had no idea where they disappeared to.

I tried calling CP last night to see if they could be picked up from Mississauga, and was denied. :p

The whole thing is absolutely ridiculous. Health Canada is ridiculous. And as much as I'm ashamed to say it...Canada is ridiculous. We lack balls in this country. HC won't allow it cuz there isn't a 30 million dollar study to say it's no worse than cigarettes, nicotine gum or patches. Forty freaking years smoking, and Vaping is the only thing that has made me forget what a damn cigarette is. I'm even turned off at the smell of it coming off of someone that just finished a smoke. I'm just waiting for the day that our government tells me that I need a permit to scratch my ..., and that'll be the day I plan my exit to some island. We can sign all the petitions we want but the people at HC are just too dumb and too ignorant to make a decision that just makes sense. I'd love to meet the fool at HC who declared it a banned substance. His brain should be a banned substance!!!

Kinda reminds me of the FUBAR gun registry and the fast ferry fiasco

So now we have two siezures of plain flavouring? That's freaking absurd. It's flavouring! Perfectly legal, commonly available, FDA-approved food-grade flavouring. People make baked goods and candies and other edibles with them. What the smeggy hell?

Someone at Customs needs a prolonged succession of boots to the head.

I would rather hit them over the head with a heavy piece of mining equipment:D

A couple of years ago I was making soap, lotion, etc. as a hobby. I had to order a lot of my supplies from the U.S. One of my orders contained, among other things, a large ziplock bag of white granular powder :ohmy:...basically a mild powdered soap. Of course the customs agent wanted to inspect the bag but instead of opening the zip top they slashed the bag open with a knife. By the time my package arrived in Canada, I had a large box leaking white powder all over the post office...they weren't pleased, lol.

Amen to that. It's been near a month now since I've had my Lively Lime in more than one-hit-a-day bursts :D

Ah yes, going into conservation mode. Been doing that with the few drops of Key Lime Pie I have left. I could order more from Happy, but I have a big batch of flavouring coming soon that ought to last me for months so I'm holding off 'til it gets here. :D

What the hell is it with lime? It's like that underdog flavour no one thinks they'll like until they try it and holy crap I need a liter of this stuff.

Anyway, I'll ask him for an update.
