What the hell, Customs?

[Mindfield]

Customs is #&%*ed up.

Just got an E-Mail from Juggy. -- he's busy as hell, which is good, but he's short on supplies and waiting for stuff to come in. The E-Mail said, in part;

Wanted to tell you 1 of our larger shipments of Flavourants (yes just the Flavours?)
got turned away 2 fridays ago & its really causing a havoc here!
We think 1 of our mailing addy's maybe Flagged?
Should be another 10 days for the next 1 ?

Funny the 55 gal.barrel of Nic rolled right through!! lol ;P

The 55 gallon drum of nic? No problem. Cartos? Atties? Hardware? Here ya go. Flavourings? Whoaaah there, buddy. What do you think you're doing with all these food flavourings, huh? No tasty treats for you! Back it goes!

Seriously, what the hell, Customs?

 

[Spac]

Really? How does that make any sense from the HC point of view??!? I would love to see the reasoning for the rejection...

Sorry sir, you can't make those candies. Flavorings are not permitted into Canada. Really?!?!

 

[Samyaza]

Noooooo...... that sucks

And omg 55gallon

 

[Toronto_Mike]

I guess it had to do with which idiot was working that day at custom clearing & wanted to look like a superstar for rejecting a shipment. Bloody fools, they should be keeping our country free of narcotics & dangerous goods - not flavourants - they should switch careers & join the likes of the parking authority - same low life calibre of jobs. They walk around like their cops & drive company cars made to look like police cars. Not!

This is getting ridiculous. My order with Healthcabin (China) had to be changed. They contacted me to say the flavorings I ordered are getting stopped by customs. No nic, just flavor. Customs needs another slap to wake up.

 

[K-man]

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!!!

Dusty and I are still waiting for our Provaris.....they seem to be in customs limbo. I sure hope this isn't a new trend forming...

Scratch that, they just cleared customs and are in Mississauga.... Boosh and/or Kakow!

 

[Spac]

Mine is sitting at the post office.

Unfortunately won't get it till tomorrow as the stupid post office closes at 5:00.

But it is here!

I'm happy for you that they cleared cuz they have NO right to sieze equipment. Only juice.
The sad part is that yet so near in Mississauga, you won't get them till Monday. That sucks.

Yep....better than the limbo they were in the last 4 days...

 

[Spac]

Wow! 4 days?

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

[Mindfield]

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.

 

[SoUnique]

Do they not have to have grounds to hold it. Oh how utterly stupid of me, it's HC, protecting us from ourselves.

im going to work in customs what a good way to test all the newest gear and different kinds of juice

that really sucks all the BS with customs and HC and the worst part is that most of these people that work there are just average people like us and alot them probably smoke analogs to
if they only knew the benefits of vaping instead of smoking
they would realize that there not just screwing us but themselves too
we need to convert some of them to vaping then they would work with us and not against us

As much as we all rag on custom agents remember at the end of they day they are just doing their job

.... Even if we don't agree with it

"Doing their job" does not preclude it being done poorly.

True. But remember this is the human element. We all do our jobs poorly at times.
