American Having (Trading) Trouble with Canadians

Once again, I'd like to remind everyone that publicly confessing to having committed tax fraud and/or suggesting similar actions to others is not allowed. It's easy to feel cavalier about it, but customs fraud is a serious, federal offence, and it's unwise to publicly admit to committing federal crimes. Lying on customs documents is a criminal offence.

In response to the original post in this thread, unless I positively knew and trusted who I was dealing with, I would be concerned about shipping to an anonymous mailbox. I'd personally feel more comfortable knowing where the person lived, in case of fraud.....not that I'm implying there is fraud being committed in this particular instance.

I sent a $24.95 item to a girl in Montreal once and she was asked to pay $97 in customs fees.


This would have been some sort of mistake....certainly not common.
