canadian shipping/customs help
 
anyone here from canada know how i can get ahold of the customs office?
ive had a package coming from blaast since monday of last week and there tracking shows nothing but that day.
i dont know what the ---- is going on and according to the canadian post office website they wont know what the ---- is going on either.
it took like 3 days to get to canada from cali so i dont know why its taking so long coming back and just want to talk to someone with an inkling of where my ---- is.
anyone?

Your not going to get ahold of customs. They hold random packages some up to a month just the nature of the beast. Your just going to have to be patient and wait it out. Customs doesnt realy have a system its a security issue and Im sure they dont tell the Normal Joe their agenda etc.

I find most stuff sits at customs for a week but sometimes it gets held up longer.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't go spend another chunk of change on a turbo if you already have one on the way. Don't they have buses and taxi's and ---- in Cali?? Patience is a bitch to come by when you're young, but it gets easier as you get older. I guess you just eventually realize that you can't do anything but ------' wait anyway, so you might as well deal with it. Don't ---- up your blood pressure or hair(go gray or bald)...

I'm from Canada and this is why I get ---- shipped to buffalo, go pick it up, pay no duty and pick up some dirty 30 packs for $10 while I'm at it. ---- can take anywhere from a weeek to a month even sometimes. You better hope you have the right "value" on your package if they open it otherwise I will be buying it at their auction. ;)

There are a few of those around yeah, lots of people get stuffed shipped to a UPS store as well, doesn't matter which service you use either. Drive down, pick it up, drive back. Pay the border man his tax if you're feeling rich.

well that is 3 weeks now and i have yet to recieve anything. i would suggest that noone have their turbos rebuilt by blaast if you need it in any sort of timeframe. i was stupid and have fucked myself.

It is not blaast that is holding your turbo, I sent a mani a while back into canadian after two months nothing. It just happends sometimes. There's nothing you can do about it.

im not saying its blaast, but i would have paid the extra cost and had it rebuilt somewhere in the us, if i had known it would take this long.
