eternalX Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I've now been burned twice by customs in the last month. First, i sold a cheap digital camera to a guy through ebay for $70 US. I paid UPS $11 US to ship the camera surface and then customs hit the guy up for $45 CDN. $9 CDN for customs and a $36 service fee. After a cople weeks of wrangling they brought down the charge to $30 CDN total. Next, I just went to buy some gear from MEC for a trip on July 7th and they can't guarantee they can get it here in time because of customs. They can only send it surface and it would have to be delivered by next thursday with the holiday and all. Why the hell is it such a big deal to ship things from Canada to the US and vice-versa?! It's exactly afghanistan. I'd be up for annexing that damn country if I wasn't so sure we'd fuck it up. Maybe Canda can be a good capitalist and just buy us. All they would have to do is assume all debt, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshK Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Don't worry, the day will come when Canada will help increase the U.S. state total well into the 60s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
