Revenue Canada nabbed my shipment

[igloo]

Roadtrip . I wonder how much noise the tires will make when filled with tins of tobacco at the border crossing . :laughat:

Ah, the eternal conundrum of being a Canadian pipe smoker. I've brought back amounts with me from trips down south, but the rest I've procured from my local B & M's. I'm lucky to have three of 'em within an hour's drive. Yes, it's $30 for a tin, but at the rate I smoke, the cost isn't noticeable.

I wonder how it will be for me, i just tired my hand at a $40 order, but being held up due to the strike

If I were a bit closer to Canada, I'd be willing to be a tobacco mule for large orders lol. As it is, I'm a full state away from the border, which would make it cost-prohibitive, with the fuel inefficiency of my truck.

Now may be the best time to order, actually--when they do end the strike, there will be such a backlog of mail that they probably won't have the ability to scour through all those packages. :nana:

I'm sorry to hear that. If I'm ever near the boarder, I'll be sure to smuggle some in for you guys.
I've never been across the boarder. Do they search the car pretty well? Or is it "You look cool. Carry on" sort of deal?

I hope your right - I've got a few that didn't make it through before the strike went from rotating to nation-wide. Sadly, most post offices are not accepting packages or mail bound for Canada at this time - although it sounds like legislation is in Senate to order them (Postal Workers) back to work; saying that them striking is of economic detriment to Canada (wow, bet it cost them a whack to figure that out...). I'm hoping that we see delivery start back up next week - not only because I want my pipes and tobacco to arrive, but because my business relies on Canada Post; its costing me a fortune to use my UPS account to corrospond and exchange documents with my clients, since I get dung both ways.

My wifey, who works for a local courier, said that they should be getting back to work Monday. It's funny because I thought they were back to work this Monday past.
