I was wondering what any other members can tell me about their history with buys from Canada vendors shipping to the USA?
I assumed it would much more safe than countries outside the continent, but when I first joined SR I did made an order that never got to me. I got no love letter or anything else, just nothing at all.
So since them I've only done buys within the country, and only had one problem in the many after.
I was curious to the luck of other members, and was curious if I just had bad luck on my initial run through SR.
Thanks!

As long as its a small order you will be fine.

I'd suggest changing address if that package never was received.
I've bought twice from Canadian vendors, both times were weed from Anarcho47.
Canadian weed are pancaked from the draconian vacuum sealer, but it's very dank! Maybe it's only Anarcho, but his weed is very compressed and packaged well. I don't wanna give details, but I'm pretty sure if I gave the package to my boy, he wouldn't know there was an ounce of weed inside unless he ripped it open and cut through all the layers.
I don't buy bud from Canada anymore though, not because the danger in shipping but how long it takes. Be prepared to wait over a week. It's worth it to some.

in general it seems pretty safe... and the wait is only a week if you are lucky, not too terrible
the success rate seems much higher than packages say from NL which you see many more people reporting to have problems with. dont even think CAN is tagged with a red flag as are NL and some other countries.
heck even some H vendors send letters through customs without even a single vac sealed layer, just a bag... and nearly all the orders still make it through.
the more important things is picking a good vendor who will use a discrete packaging method which blends with business mail well.

A friend has ordered 7 packages from Canada... all came... no problems. Sometimes, it takes a while. Mail times fluctuate GREATLY - which is so so so strange. Once, 5 days... once 18 days.
Not sure if this is correct, but is mail coming from Canada less scrutinized when going through US customs than mail coming from other countries?
