Talking about customs

[Anonymous No.7416824]

Hey ladies and gents,

Can we get a customs discussion thread going? Horror stories, what to expect when ordering a product from another country, and things like that.

Here's my story:

Recently I ordered a few items from the US, and since I live in Canada, I didn't think the customs charges would be that bad. I'm not well-versed with ordering large packages, but I've had a 200 dollar order from Taobao before without being hit with customs. Anyway, I spent around 400 dollars and customs decided to charge me 110 dollars for my package. Is this normal?

Not a problem with customs right now but I swear to god sometimes I wish I spoke chinese. My Ebay had my old shipping address on it and I accidentally sent all my packages to my old apartment. Trying to communicate with the sellers to tell them I'd put the wrong address was a night mate
