Is there an "F-You" status after

"International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs"

or does it just sit there forever if seized?

If you don't mind where is the location? Vancover or Toronto?


Anyways if after three days you don't see any updates you are pretty much screwed BUT it may arrive. It's in purgatory right now.It could mean it's been released and not scanned (unlikely) or it's being 'inspected' (I put that in quotes because not all packages that go in for review are really reviewed).

But to make things simple (and customs is never simple) the general rule is if you don't see anything on that screen within three biz. days you're pretty much screwed.

It means he asked a serious question and is getting to much BS in response.

[monkey]

Damm that sucks. Hope it wasn't much... I am not sure if I would want to accept it if it shows up 2 weeks later after being held up for a bit longer.. I'd be too suspicious ( but I guess that depends on what and how much you are expecting)

I have to remember that one.

The entirely imaginary order of some person who I do not know:

Small amount, personal use, vials
Vancouver
> 3 Biz days
likely seized

I'm guessing it would be headed to the incinerator or sitting in a bin.

I mostly wondered whether canada post would delete the shipment from their system once a seizure was declared or update with a polite notice of some type hence the "f-u, status" question.

Yep, I've gotten friendly greetings like that with regard to GH from China (in the olden tymes). I actually wrote back once and was told the shipment is being tested. Would I like to claim it? I was tempted but did not. Finally got a card saying my shipment would be destroyed since, according to their chemists, it contained "high quality human growth hormone". Glad that i ordered from the lab:). Sad that I would never see it:mad:. Had my shit to a different address after that, but still had trouble getting anything through for a few years.:confused:

It's hard to tell, give it a week then you should know. Given that mail volume is so low right now, chances of it getting seized is very high. Good luck broham.

Say bye bye to that order. If it comes I would be suprised. Vials at Vancouver. Very hard to get through. Not saying it's 100% seized but most likely it is. Pray hard over the weekend. Maybe some idiot will handle the package and let it go.

As for the tracking. It won't update or go anywhere for a long time. It will stay where it is now. They don't update when it's seized. It will only be updated if it's released from customs. i wouldn't hold my breath for that....

[bigZ241]

i've waited 5 business days and still have a package released. But that being said i've had some sit there for eternity! Definite roll of the dice, aspecially with those fantastic olympics!

I've never ordered anything non-domestic and don't really understand why someone would.... Not meaning to hijack tiramisu, more of a question: With all the Canadian UGL's (many good quality & price), why feel the need to order internationally? Is it worth gettin' pinched like that? Money down the drain, not havin' stuff you may've been counting on....

Not meaning to flame ya for doin' this at all, as i see many seem to still practice this, but i've seen you lots on this board and wonder if i could get an answer on this from someone with experience... thanks in advance, and I hope it still makes it through... Peace out homeschool

Because of the price...
UGL lab have good price, but INTL ugl lab have BEST price. I used a intl lab and their price was 1/2 the price of cdn.

Imagine for a moment that my friend likes to homebrew and likes 40 grams of test for a cycle, 20 grams of tren or NPP. Also imagine that he would like 4iu's per day of GH for maintenance and 8 on cycle with 2 - 16 week cycles per year. We can then add in ancillaries - anti-e's, pct, acne meds for 3-5 years. Thank god insulin is cheap.

Now go to an open source board because this isn't one and check the prices.
1 vial of 250 mg/ml test = 23 grams of raw test powder. Happily test is a very inexpensive chemical so even with the mark up it's still simple and affordable to buy canadian if you are doing short, low dose cycles.

As the price of the chemicals goes up the markup goes down

On the other end of the spectrum is GH, darn expensive to construct high quality peptides and they don't travel well. Despite the far thinner margins 2:1 it is extremely tempting to order from the manufacturer.

The problem with ordering from the mfr is
a) importation is illegal
b) we have the 3rd best customs on the planet... Australia and New Zealand seem to take 1 & 2. (someone may correct me by a place up or down).

Which leads us back to my imaginary friend.

I know with the couriers they need to update seized packages with a comment.

UPS for example???

[macka]

I had a box of military buttons from Europe sit in customs for 6 weeks, which is funny because my friend had an obviously packaged order pass the same day.

[macka]

UPS for example???

yea but they are the worst, because they actually mark suspicious packs for customs to inspect.

[SmallieBigs]

huh.... figured raw materials would be a lot better deal i guess.... No idea it would be so much less for normal orders though... Although I'd rather domestic for what I run personally, so I don't have to worry about losin' shit in customs... I get where you're comin' from when it comes to raws for homebrew and such though i guess.

[MikeyFXD35]

Actually customs gets a manifest of whats arriving and they run it through their system and create a selection list that the carrier needs to pull.
