Customs got me again...lightspeed's fault.
 

just got home - redlined again at canada customs- seemed according to them i didn't correctly value the lightspeed towels and they assessed them at $20 each - $40 total - putting me $30 over my limit and causing me to wait an hour for them to decide that i wasn't really trying to fraud the gov't of canada out of the $3 tax owing on this grevious and debious mastermind smuggling attempt I got caught at.



good thing lightspeed towels are worth waiting an hour for......

that's fucking ridiculous...

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

They just didn't link your attitude.

I asked.

good thing stopped you, you could have been a terrorist. :1orglaugh

Could have said you brought them with you because hotel towels suck.

Funny... I got my lightspeed towel for free

I think customs doesn't like Steve very much. I saw him down in the customs line in Miami when I got detained there coming back from Curacao. LOL!

DH

P.S. I still use my lightspeed towel all the time :thumbsup

Welcome back to Canada. I love Canadian Customs, LOL.

customs suck ass, the customs here always lose shit

canadia customs really does suck. sometimes i think its easier to get into usa

Was it a Towlieban?

Once I got tagged by telling them what I do for a living, I've been bothered by Canadian Customs ever since. Not US customs, Canadian. I've spent hours being searched and grilled. When I came back from Costa Rica the first words out of officer's mouths were "Were you making child porn in Costa Rica?".

My partner Fed-Ex's me Costa Rican coffee each month. Canadian Customs is nice enough to slit the bags open lengthwise, and then after pawing through them has the courtesty to slap an "inspected by customs" tape over the gash. I lose about half of the coffee shipment this way.

:1orglaugh I'm sure the boys at customs look forward to your shipment every month. Gourmet coffee around the office for a week.

Customs, what a crock of shit. :BangBang:

i've had nothing but trouble with Canadian customs for the past 3 years or so. totally red flagged, i'd never consider traveling with a laptop or anything these days.

Yeah I always figured that somewhere in Canadian Customs there's a coffee pot that sometimes has some damn good coffee in it.

Just so long as the coffee keeps making it I'm happy. We just send twice as much now. :)

Sorry to hear about your problems maybe you should take the time to cal a higher up and let them know that if you keep getting harrased that you will file suit against them. It should work...

Owned by Canandian Customs!

ouch that sucks.

You must have gotten better Lightspeed towels than I got :winkwink:

I hope you told them they were 'used towels' and not new:Graucho :1orglaugh :glugglug

what a bunch of ......

:1orglaugh Did you get the anal probe drug search?

sorry to hear about that Sleazy. I just got back from Cancun yesterday and I got my bags searched as well. They thought it was weird that I was travelling by myself.:mad:

That's just plain stupid.

Isnt coffee used to sometimes smuggle drugs because of the scent or something?

Could be why..

When I used to deal meth, my guy would mail it to me like this: in a bag wrapped in duct tape which was in a tupperware container wrapped with duct-tape surrounded by Dorritos which was wrapped in a bag wrapped in duct tape, surrounded by coffee in a bag wrapped in duct tape, in ANOTHER container wrapped in duct tape. Then he would put some more duct tape on it just to be safe.

I'm not sure if I descibed that correctly, or if the coffee actually had a lot to do with the fact that we never got caught doing it, but it sure was a pain in the ass to open those packages!

Customs are getting so fucking weird it's unreal..

US customs or Canadian Customs ... Guess it's the batch syndrom that gives them those power trips.

:eek7 :eek7

openly discussing major felonies... you're a brave man. :1orglaugh

Whats stupid is that you actually recorded the towels.. lol

bah, it's over 10 years ago. no way I would get in trouble for it now.

Hey anyone got a pic of these towels? Are they like pool towels or cum cleaning towels?

Nothing like my flight experience I can assure you Sleazy... lol

Loses shit or do you mean steals shit?

They often get my pills, those bastards. It's like living in Orwell's 1984. They're always watching, always trying to find something to nab you.

I'm honestly starting to think it's easier to just lie and say you're bringing back WAY under the amount.

Coming back from Miami, I had bought 2 cartons of smokes-1 for a buddy.

Like an ass I claimed them both. Obviously I didn't realize how much I'd have to pay or I would have told my buddy to screw off.

Thankfully, they took my word that I only had 2 cartons, because when I got home, one of the cartons I had bought was actually a DOUBLE carton. So I had brought back 3...honestly by mistake.

If they had searched the damn bag, I can't even imagine the hassle.

speaking of people NOT being like by customs:1orglaugh

there you go , nice size ..soft ...I have a couple as well

Your e-mail bumped me back. Grrrrr.

I was watching a program on Discovery the other day about drug sniffing dogs. Apparently Meth is very difficult to detect and only recently have they been able to train dogs to smell it.

You think you all have trouble with customs, try going through with dark skin, a bald head and pierced ears. They look at me and just indicate with their hands they want to look at my bags, or they say "you know the drill".
Ususally ends up being all good once they find out I was born in a small town in Ontario though.

They just didnt "link?"

That is different.

I'm sure that sucks.

It probably sucks even worse that most everyone is looking at you out of the corner of their eyes too.

Thats crazy

But the real question here Sleazy, is whether
or not you declared your Lightspeed panties? :Graucho

That was such a waste of time and money on their part that it is absurd.

What pisses me off is how long it takes mail to get to Canada from the States. I'm sure it drives you guys nuts, too. What a pain in the ass.

The towels were $5 each. I think the tops and panties are a bit more, and your jersey was a LOT more. Did you declare that?
