I didn't say it was rumor. I said it was speculation. Describing a personal experience is fair. And it is exactly that, a personal experience.

On the other hand, saying : "If the total value of the shipment is greater than $100 there's a greater chance of getting hit by customs." That is generalising based on one personal experience. Hence: speculation.

If you live in a major city and you want to order items from BBTS, you're more or less 100% getting nailed by customs. Good luck.

Apart from the customs fees, how much is shipping from US to Canada?
I looked up a 4 lbs item using large box via UPS and it's $55, and Fedex is $110!

Is this for real???

So what's that word you used in the first quote, the one that rhymes with humors?

Dude! Learn to read. It's a speculation based on rumor or fear. See that little 2-letter word there: "or"!!! In your case, it's speculation that is not based on rumor but totally based on fear!!!

If you want to take this discussion any further, let's do it in PM and not bother others with your misinterpretations of my words! Any further reply here will be ignored!

Feel free to ignore this then. Re-read your post. It uses the phrase "rumors AND fear". There is no OR.
