D15L Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 yeahhh today pissed me off so much!! it was suppose to be a day of excitement for me as my al amir shisha and large mya hose was suppose to be here today. Oh yes, it got delivered but when i opened the box all i found was a normal mya washable, much like the one that came with the qt except this one has a metal tip. And another thing.. my shisha was missing! apparently, customs got hold of it and took it which i think is stupid. I live in Canada by the way. THey took it out and i have to call customs tomorrow to see what i can do. The thing is i called customs already and the lady said that shisha is brought here all the time and shouldn't be a problem, even if they did put taxes on it. I had to call ups and they set me up with the phone number to the local customs that has my package. I called them and they were closed for the remainder of the day. Oh and i ordered with social smoke,everyone says that social smoke is good, i had good customer service also but they did not get my hose right, which they will resend, hopefully it will come quickly. AHH i am just so pissed off rite now! needed to let it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ioannisds Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 How much tobacco did you order? I mean, all I have ever heard is that up there in Canadia you guys have to pay an ASSLOAD in taxes depending on the weight that was shipped over. Something like $18 a GRAM if I am not mistaken, (which I very well could be). Good luck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 $18 a KG would seem more reasonable *even though it still blows donkey balls* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D15L Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 i ordered 250 grams. thas it! cause i know you're suppose to not order over 250 grams to reduce risk of getting caught in customs but FUCK it still happened. And the wrong hose pissed me off even more. I hope its 18 dollars a kg or else i would never pay for $1 a gram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownZero Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Wow, thats terrible... I would hate to even bother with all that hassle to get the shisha... LAME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Could you post how much the duty is when you find out? I'm really debating ordering some stuff but really want to know how much they're gonna charge me if they catch it.Edit - Found this link but I have no idea what it means[url="http://www.fin.gc.ca/drleg/02-052-3e.html"]http://www.fin.gc.ca/drleg/02-052-3e.html[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuschultz Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 The reason you probably got nailed is the name of the company. Does the ship from label say Social SMOKE? Compared to something like Pimp Your Hookah or Hookah-Shiaha.com, the word smoke stands out. Kinda like a "Hey, whatcha smokin"Customs officers look for specific things like that.

D15L Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 alright so found out how much the duties/taxes are all together. I called local customs and found out that with 250 grams that i payed, which was about $16 canadian. It would come up to $56 with just the duties/taxes. It definitely is very costly I live in Alberta and he said that the province takes $40 of it or something like that. It SUCKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
