Hey buddy i ordered AE from
you (1st time) i live in Canada I ordered it on
06/17/2004 and mailed in my money order the day after and was
received on
06/23/2004 and shipped on the same day now it's
07/06/2004 Still nothing in the mail box it's been
far beyond the shipping days which was stated
United States Postal Service (Global Priority Mail - Variable
Weight Envelope (Single) (4 - 6 Days)):$8.00
i know it's States to CDN but it shouldn't take this time since
my mail got to ya fast and i believe your sending a mail but with weight envelope.. there shouldn't be a
difference. So how long till i get it buddy

The difference is customs and it is
a very big difference. They can let one package straight through for a 7 day delivery (4 days is impossible
regardless of what the PO tells you) and sit on the next one for a week before they even look at it. Then set it on
some bureaucrats desk for another week to fill out papers for local consumption tax. Like I told you fifty times
already by PM, packages take longer than letters. Your package is still very very very very much on
schedule.

I lived in Canada before I moved
South.
I ordered a XMAS gift form V. Secrets that was to be shipped to an old girlfriend in Toronto.
It
didn't arrive so I called back and request that they reship to my US address, then I reshipped it using simple US
mail with no difficulty.
I sent my father some colonge and filled out that customs form at the post office
but he never got it.
My advice is to try and eliminate customs all together if posibble just put it in a
suitable padded envolope and drop it in the mailbox, this works for me

DCW,
Even that is no
protection against Canadian customs agents. Now, if you only ship 1 single bottle and your write "Jack Smith" in
the return address area, then you are probably going to be OK, but if there are several items in there and the
return label has anything that looks like a company in there, then there is *going* to be delays. The good news is
that virtually *all* shipments get thru. The bad news is that:
A. Delays of 2-3 weeks are common
B. Local
taxes are also common

I'm in Canada and I can tell
you that customs has been very hungry duty and GST lately. My last two shipments have required additional payment.
When I first started order the smaller ones would just slip through.
I use the Global Priority route too just
because I have no one sitting at home to sign for a courier and I don't want it sent to my office. I usually find
an attempted delivery slip in my mailbox and just head over to the local post office (place to pick up will be on
the slip) and pick it up... and pay the duty and GST. FYI my post office at least will take Mastercard or Visa if I
don't have the cash in my pocket and I find it to be around $10 for a small shipment (one or two items with a total
value of $100 US or less).
Hope that helps!

Mine arrived within a week, but
I paid by CC and it shipped pretty much same day. I expect my next order to be in any time this week too. No big
delays at customs that I've seen... maybe lost a day tops... but maybe I've just been lucky so far.

i got another question .. i'm
wondering if the carrier did come to my door and asked my parents to sign it .. and they refused it (which most of
the time they do) how the heck do i unrefuse it .. cuz they don't know that i'm gettin a colgne or anything if
they do they'll kill me ... cuz i think thats what might have happened and i can't ask them cuz they'll know. is
there a way to unrefuse? or go to the mail office and check if i got any?

Koss,
I still wouldn't panic
yet, but you might be able to check with your local PO to see if they have a record of a delivery attempt. If they
are friendly, they might be able to advise you about that sort of thing. If your parents refused it, it will make
its way eventually to our warehouse. I don't think there is anyway to stop it in the middle of its way back to us.
In the future, you could have it sent to a friend's house or get a PO box, maybe.

Your package was returned to us
marked "invalid address."

Koss,
I poked my nose around
some more and found out that the mistake was partly ours. Tammy put a 3 instead of an 8 in your address. Now it
seems to me, your mail-carrier should have caught that and delivered it properly based on your name and that you
live 2 house away, but no.... that would have been too easy. They sent it all the way back marked "invalid
address". Sheesh! Anyway, we will send it back to you priority mail at our expense.
Very sorry!

Did you check with your parents?
Maybe they got it. I need your real name to look it up. Send an email to support@love-scent..... with your full
name. 3 weeks is getting a little long.
