Hey everyone. I'm having a bit of a problem and I was hoping to get some help figuring this out.

I ordered some stuff from this guy on 8bc a while back, a DMG and a few other things. We emailed each other back and forth, it was international shipping (he lives in Cali, I live in Alberta, Canada tongue). Anyway, he sent his package off October 8th, it went through customs but for some strange reason it got sent back.

I'm trying to figure out how this would happen. Normally, Canada Post attempts to make a delivery and if not possible, they just drop it off at the nearest depot and leave a notification for me to pick it up. Didn't happen. I got the tracking number from the sender (it only works for USPS though ><) and there's no info at all.

Reason why I'm writing this is because I wanted to know if anyone had gone through any similar situations before. Also, if anyone had any suggestions on what to do, the sender and I are trying to figure out if we should send this out again or what.

Call USPS?

matt's mind

its probably either that the customs feels the value was declared wrong, it wasn't marked as a gift and the duties collection process wasn't carried out, all the contents weren't listed, or there wasn't enough postage.

that would be my guess...

make sure canada post isn't striking in the area.  i had issues with this a while back re: vancouver... 

also, make sure the address is written correctly. 

apart from that, you shouldn't have had an issue.

i'm a little curious is the supposed increased security on packages will slow things down for a little bit.  i doubt it though.  the volume is just too much...

When I worked for a large internet mail order company the one biggest reasons for international returns was just the post office not bothering to tell people that their package had been stopped and they needed to pay some import tax.
