Canada Ordering from Canada 🇨🇦

[Babbu_billa 32522]

I want to place an order for very first time. I have heard stories where canadians customs have seized the packages.

I want to know

How often it happens?

What is the workaround to avoid this?

delivery to Canada (GTA)

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to hear from fellow Canadians

Seems like most seizures in canada are happening out west. If your in GTA should be good. Just make sure you use a vendor that offers reship or refund.

most seizures seem to be in Vancouver, but ive placed two orders in Jan with no issues

I think in Toronto you will be fine. Iv had mutliple orders on east coast and no issues. Also there are a couple venders with Canadian warehouses if you dont wanna mess with customs, they have limited items in stock though so depending on what your looking for it may or may not work.

I’m on the west coast and placed my first order recently. Didn’t even touch customs. It was pre cleared before the flight even landed.

I don’t think there’s much WE can do. I think it’s going to depend on the vendors chain of custody and how they get things into the country. So I think all you can do is pick one with a good reputation for replacing or refunding if it gets picked up, and hope for the best. That’s what I did. I am curious if the vendor I went with has a solid way of getting packaged in since it was pre cleared, or if I just got lucky. I’ll be placing a bigger order early next month. So I guess we’ll see.

And they came through Vancouver?

And they came through Vancouver?

One came through Mississauga via and them sent via canadpost and the other was FedEx and went from Memphis tn to the Richmond sorting facility

Mine came through Vancouver. Was pre cleared and never touched customs. Not sure if I got lucky or the vendor has a good shipping system though.

Glad to hear this, my upcoming order will likely come through Vancouver and I was wondering if everything was getting stopped there or stuff was still getting through.

Just hope it doesn’t come through uniuni on this end. It took 4 days to get here from China and it’s been bouncing around Canada for another 8 and I still don’t have it.

4 days from China is great! That 8 day Canada-churn is annoying though... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Let us know when you finally get it. I'll be placing a small order in the next 2 weeks, and then, if successful, a larger one. I'll share my shipping-through-Vancouver results as well.

It changed to “out for delivery” this morning. I’m standing by the window waiting to see if it actually shows up as I type this lol

Exciting!!!

2 weeks ago, for a delivery I was eagerly awaiting, didn't I SEE the Canada Post van pull up, put a sticker on my door and drive off. Didn't even ring the buzzer or call my phone for entry. NOOOooooo you MFers! I put my shoes on, grabbed the sticker, and chased that truck across several streets until I caught up to him (2 stops later lol). Huffing and puffing and sweating, I presented the sticker and he did give me the package. Probably was frightened by a sweaty psychopath that chased his van across town, and didn't want to further enrage the madwoman. Hahahah!

And that’s why I’m standing by the window. Uniuni already has a terrible track record and bad reviews. So I’m just chillin on my phone waiting by the window to see if they even attempt to stop.

Uniuni is awful, took 8 days to get from Ontario to BC, then they came and rang my buzzer at 1130pm to deliver lol

Is there specific reason you know it will come through Vancouver? Ive done 5 orders and only 1 came through Vancouver and got seized lol (I also live in Vancouver)
