Customs is only doing their job, but it doesn't make it suck any less when they confiscate things.

... confiscation has happened pretty much to all of us here, at some point. Get used to it if you order from another country.

Hi elandi, I never thought that one could order something, never receive it and still pay for it. If in the "FAQ", vendors stated that, "if your stuff doesn't get to you; we keep your money and you get the empty box. No one would order with that disclaimer. No other business is run that way. Mike

Would you go to Vegas and stop at a roulette table, bet on black, then demand you're money back when it lands on green?

Same principle applies here. We all know ordering from overseas is a roll of the dice. You hit snake-eyes. Sorry bout your luck.

And I do hate when it happens, but if you're looking for sympathy, I recommend checking the dictionary between "Substitute" and "Syphilis"

Have not been able to get foreign rations for past 2.5 + years, shipped from overseas. Sad. Everybody do your homework. Don't order US rations from Great Britain/Europe, etc. Thats just stupid. Stupid is, as stupid does.

H, I'm not an importer...

So go and tell customs, they made a huge mistake.

I got two cases of MREs rejected by customs due to 42g of cheese on my own expanse ($250).
I got three cases of Canadian IMPs "looted" by customs, they took all meat out.

"Importing" meat into any country is prohibited by customs. When buying rations from foreign countries, don´t blame the seller. He fulfilled his part of the contract.

Thanks for the Paypal claim Mike.

Disgraceful behaviour, we all know the risk involved here when importing rations or any food stuff across borders tbh, we've all had rations confiscated or tampered with, it's a gamble but to try claim from the seller that's pretty low.

Hi, I did not understand that I took this risk as explained here. I thought that PayPal was insurance. So I have cancelled my claim... copy of the e mail:


"Hello Michael
Thanks for letting us know that you don't wish to proceed with this case. We have now closed it and there are no further actions you need to take."

Importing/buying "things" and violate customs regulations is whos risk/fault?!

I can understand the frustration from both sides, it’s completely warranted for Uncle Mike to be upset by this. Personally, I would direct my anger and frustration to the customs who confiscated my property for a stupid, illegitimate reason.

We can stop customs by calling our congressmen and ask them to submit anti ration confenscatement bills.

Why just rations? If you say rations then all you gotta do is make the packages for stuff military looking or you could claim cans are rations, therefore so is cereals, fish etc
