Hy guys,

I am looking into ordering stuff from a foreing supplier and am not quite sure about my chances in regards to getting it in.
I am looking on ordering from a european country ( not china etc at least) and probably in quantities of 10 grams and am just curious about your experiences.


My main concern is 1) what are my chances of getting it into canada and 2) what if it gets seized... what do I have to expect?

Thanks

i have experience with overseas stuff and from what ive learned its a 50/50 chance if you get the stuff i got half of what i ordered and not heard a think about the rest. If it gets seized at the border then you will get a letter stating that you can go get your stuff that was seized and or fight for it which i dont reccomend good luck!.

Bro..canadian customs are HARD to pass stuff.50/50 like said above.The only time ive had true success from China(powders,not vials) is ordering during the month of December when the volume of letters is high cause of Christmas.

On a side note,i know one European country that sends powders here to Canada and has never got caught.Depends which country i guess your dealing with.

ps:dont evenbother PMing for that source cause i wont give it.

If your product gets seized,you'll probably get a call from customs,or get a letter sent to you.Just deny the whole thing.

No point asking a question about breaking the law because nobody on this board does anything illegal.

I'm not sure, but I don't think they send letters anymore because they know abut the resend policies.

interesting theory but I had packages 9-10 years ago being siezed with no letters too.

It was something I read on another board (shrug).

Ive ordered alot of ancills but no AS from overseas and only once did I get a customs letter. For that matter I have had several orders still come through AFTER I got the customs letter. Still I wont order AS from outside the country...too many great places to get them domestic to bother risking it.

It would be illegal for Canadian customs to seize anything and not let you know. They might take there sweet time letting you know but it is required by law that they inform you.
