The End Of An Era

[Akkbar]

Well, looks like my hookah smoking days are drawing to an end. I will do all I can to prevent that, but the idiotic Kanuckistan government is trying to make me stop smoking. What can the common man do?

I just made an order to hookah-shisha for a kilo and a half of AF. I asked them to mark it as 'gift'. Here is the response:


"Thank you very much for your order, and for your message. Unfortunately, we are forbidden by law to label packages into Canada as "Gift." We used to do this, but Canadian Customs have made it their priority to stop U.S. based Shisha companies from sending orders to Canada using this method. This is affecting all companies based here in the U.S.

We are having great success sending packages to Canada with proper declaration, though using the Express method (your choice) generally has the highest rate of success. If your package is stopped, you have the option to refuse the package and have it sent back to us, and we will refund your order (less shipping). We can also re-send your order if you would like. Most packages make it through the second time.

I hope this answers your questions. I do apologize that we can no longer mark your order as "Gift," but I am confident you will have a very high chance of success in passing customs without duties. If you have any questions, or if there is anything else I can do to help, please don't hesitate to let me know."

Not a knock at hookah-shisha at all. In my opinion, they have the best customer service, bar none. A buddy of mine ordered from them, and had to pay an extra $250 in duties. He didn't even order that much tobacco.

Of course, I could just buy herbal shisha locally. On second thought, I'd rather rip out my own eyeballs and smoke that in my hookah.

What I need is someone (who lives near the U.S./Canada border preferably, but anywhere in the U.S. is okay) to help me get my fix.

Rest assured, if it means I get more of the good stuff, I don't have a problem ordering you a tub of your choice as a sign of gratitude.

If this is you, please pm me, and we can work something out.

Thanks.

If I had Paypal, I'd do it.

i was just wondering how many people would be willing. my friends have the same problem (living in canada), so i didnt want to... overload any one person with incessant orders. we go through a lot of shisha every month... a few kilos between 4 people. thats would be a lot of boxes, time, shisha etc for one person to... help us with.
