Send a video or gif, they'll replace.How does VMP customer service handle warps. Got a pretty bad warp on my copy of Plans that I just opened.
I have not had a shipping notice yet and I just signed up for 6 months so I have 3 freebies coming, so I really hope not. The duties on the Cadet Anthology really hurtAny Canadian VMP subscribers had their order shipped through DHL and not only has the tracking number format changed, but there's no last mile delivery tracking number as per usual (it's around this time I get a TForce tracking number under details)?
I'm hoping I'm wrong on this one, but I'm starting to get the feeling that the party is over and this is the month that I'm going to get hit with duties.
Yup, same with the duties on Vanguard.I have not had a shipping notice yet and I just signed up for 6 months so I have 3 freebies coming, so I really hope not. The duties on the Cadet Anthology really hurt
My Honky Chateau shipment has been "en route to distribution centre" for 11 days. But I did get a shipment last month and it still went through TForce, so I'm not seeing any changes yet.Any Canadian VMP subscribers had their order shipped through DHL and not only has the tracking number format changed, but there's no last mile delivery tracking number as per usual (it's around this time I get a TForce tracking number under details)?

No shipping notification for me as of yet, I actually haven't had an order from them in forever! I have just been swapping for credit for months! If I have to factor in duty I'll probably be out unless it's something that is a true exclusive which hasn't happened in a while or at least I haven't noticed!
Isn't the duty threshold in Canada low as shit? Like $25 or something stupid like that? Taxes I'm ok with, can't avoid them forever it's the "service charge" that always hurts!
Yeah, mine did go through TForce last month no problem. This one has been en route for longer than normal without the TForce tracking number added and the tracking number itself has changed from like 14 letters/numbers to 30 letters/numbers/dashes and VMP sprinkled throughout. Could be innocuous, but it definitely caught my eye.My Honky Chateau shipment has been "en route to distribution centre" for 11 days.

Is yours actually moving? Or is it also stuck on way to distribution centre? Could explain the delay in TForce showing up.Yeah, mine did go through TForce last month no problem.

If it comes via Canada Post, you should be good until $100. I've only been dinged by them once and it was when I crossed the $100 threshold. The courier companies do whatever the fuck they want and can charge "brokerage fees" (usually $30+) whether your shit actually qualified for duty or not. UPS and DHL are the absolute worst for this. FedEx is awful but seems a little more reasonable (barely!)
I'm not sure what the deal is with a lot of stuff shipped via DHL since most starts with them and switches to Canada Post at the border, but not always (and, I guess, TForce with VMP, which started my last few months as a member.) I've had some shipments start with UPS and switch to Canada Post as well.
Regardless, I still order (too) often from the US if I know it's being sent USPS and have never had an issue when under $100. Sure it takes 2, or 3 weeks, but I can live with that.
@Ethos99 has been consistently amazing for cross-border shipping for me, via Paladin and Apocalypse both. Apocalypse has a decent base rate and a very low per additional item rate. When I went over $100 with the Neu! boxset it was under $14 in additional charges when I went to pick my package up. They go through Global Logistics, who my postal outlet guy said always manage to get the lowest rates if fees do occur. I've also had great experiences with a bunch of labels and a few shops scattered around. Happy to advise fellow hinterland folk, if interested. (Perhaps we could even start a Canadian Shipping thread to share tips and tricks...?)
Yeah I mean I'm looking back at my previous shipments through May and I'm not seeing any differences between the current shipments and those, the tracking numbers, type of shipment used etc. All look identical. Not to say something didn't change on your end, but I'm not seeing anything here.Still stuck on the way to the distribution centre.
Could definitely be stuck, but the delay + tracking change again is what's giving me pause.
So are you actually wanting this mono box set or not?We do not talk about the mono box that shall not be named.
