Buying from Canada a hassle for you too?

I have had 3 nightmare transactions from Canada.
This ,I hope is not a reflection on Canadian Agon members,however, issues exist like never before.
I had a CD PLAYER held up at customs for 1 month by the FDA claiming it contained consumable goods.
I know the US does not want our senior citizens getting discounts on prescription drugs they need,therefore,everything must be getting delayed.

I can ship/get shipments from/to China,Russia and the Middle East easier and faster than Canada.

I guess it shows where our security priority is.

It's okay to mess with us just don't mess with those Pharmaceutical companies.

There is one common thing that does seem to occur with shipments fronm Canada.

And that is, they definately take their time shipping things to us.

I think most US Agon members try to ship the item as soon as they are paid or maybe a day or 2 later.

Canadian members like to take a week or so and then ship the item in a different manner than arranged.

These have been my experiences anyway.

I need to hear other stories,as I soon may not deal with Canada if this is the new norm

Guys, If you ship across the boarder next time, please note on the courier waybill under the column "DUTIES"

"bill customs duties to"

You will have 2 choices:

A. Sender
B. Receiver

Pls check RECEIVER and you will not be responsible for the duties. Let the buyer deal with it. If he does not pay, they will not release the goods. It's just that simple. If you choose to skip/ignore the "DUTIES" part, I guess the duties will come back to you.

If doing cross boarder shopping, please make sure your SELLER knows what he is doing. There are documents he has to fill up in order for the shipment to go thru customs smoothly. If you're missing docs, the shipment will be delayed forever.
