Canadian Customs. Since I started keeping track, every single package I've
recieved declared as 'toys' or 'lego' with a >$5.00 declared value gets
stopped at customs for inspection. They never get opened, they always have 7%
tax and a $5.00 handling fee imposed, and it always takes AT LEAST two weeks
extra to get to me.
Can you tell it bugs me?
