Customs has held tobacco packages of mine for more than a month before, they did that just recently with my WLT order, it sat in Toronto customs from April 9th until May 5th.
Not on that, just the normal $9 handling fee for the privilege of having them cut open your packages and leave them in a stinky warehouse for a month.
I usually order from smokingpipes, under 100 grams (3.5oz) at a time. The last 10 orders (all the approximate same weight and value) I had 7 go through without stopping, one charged $66, one charged $72, and one charged $88. The three that were assessed duty were charged at three different rates even though they went through the same customs port and were checked by the the same badge number, within the same week.
Also I should note that the duty rates for tobacco have gone up again as of April 2023.
Thanks for the information. That duty isn’t bad at all tbh. I’m just worried about being slammed for duty like 5-6x the value of my order lol. I’ve made note to keep all my orders below 200g.
Even when they overcharge like the $88 one it's still not any more expensive than buying it here at a b&m (in Alberta), and there's a better selection online.
It's random. I have gotten over a pound through, and have gotten a 1.5 oz pouch taxed. You pays your money and takes your chances.
General question relating to all retailers - would I be pushing my luck ordering 7.5 oz
Thank you sir
What should I do.
I ordered a pipe 3 weeks ago from 4Noggins.
I have called and texted many times in the last couple of weeks.
No reply or phone answered so far.
They never sent me any tracking to follow the package.
Should I hold on of have my credit card co. pull the money off my card?
What do you think ?

Cool? Still enough horror stories that people should stay away from 4noggins unless they're desperate
Yes 3 weeks no joke.
Yes got charged.
Can’t get them to answer the phone or an e-mail.
I go on vacation Thursday.
I think when I get back I will call the cc co. and have them refund me.

Agreed! There's no point in anecdotal stories. Good thing that guy got his order on time but it's not helpful.
You've been patient long enough. No communication is no good.
Sorry, but I thought that knowing the site was working for me would tell you that they are not totally defunct. Just trying to be helpful.
No you're fine, I was being gruff. Usually anytime somebody mentions a complaint about 4noggins, four or five apologist come out of the woodwork defending the owner. I just assumed you were one of them.
