Canada Customs

If I refuse to accept a package that has been open by Canada Customs,
does the package get destroyed or returned to sender?

Bastards! $194.00 total fees on $30.00 declared value!

I've lost my last two packages from two different sources. Now my
budget (ha!) is used up and I'm a little cautious about ordering from
anywhere for a while.

that's the risk you run for ordering from Canada.
i've been hit several times before, but most of the times the boxes
get thru. i'd say i've had a 80% success rate in the past 5 years or
so.
so when you order you do have to consider the risk factor.
and also, order from sources that will not label the boxes "tobacco"
or "smoking cigars".
i only order from suppliers that are willing to be vague on their
descriptions like: "colletable items", "hobby supplies", etc/
if it's any consolation, i once paid $500 in taxes on 2 boxes of
cigars from a certain place i ordered from. had to sell a few things
on ebay to finance the hit that i paid with my c.c.

Myron LIVES IN Canada. (Well, Newfie-land, at least.)

When I was stationed with the Canadians on a NATO base in the early 70's,
they told all the same jokes we Amur'icans did, word for word, but the brunt
of the jokes was changed to "New Foundlander...".

So who do Newfies have to crack jokes about?
