Me either....I just got a box of twenty rolls of film that I ordered from them on Monday.......(a UPS delivery) There are no Customs in betweem NY and Oregon (yet) which is the issue at hand. Give it a little more time, brother.....Just a little more time.......If the liberals get their way, they will stop the shipment every 100 miles, tear it open, and tax the hell out of it before they let it go another hundred....... |

Those folks are having negotiating problems right now ... their main tactic has been to let people through without a care to what they've purchased (good time to shop in the US, IOW). They may also be working to rule and this may be slowing down parcel packages ... your tax dollars at slow work. Cheers, Alan I was waived through the border the other day when attempting to pay GST/PST on a used lens. Too bad the lens has a scratch on the rear element and had to be sent back. No doubt the next time they'll take my money. Don |
