From my experience, Nothing will happen if you get a LL in Canada(except for loosing the contents to the Government ). Canada post will send you a registered letter in the name and to the address of the intercepted products destination. If you are not there to sign for it, they'll leave a notice card for pickup at your local post office outlet. Even if you go and sign for it at the post office, you'll just get a Canadian border service letter that states the Package/Letter was seized with a list its contents and importation code(s) you broke. Recently they have started sending the same type of letter without a signature required to Canadian addresses. I guess they realized it was a waste of money to send a registered letter. Also, sometimes a seizure letter may take up to 2 months after seizure. Nothing to worry about as of yet.... Hope this helps my fellow Canadians.
Pretty much this, and the only times I've had LL's, it was with a RC benzodiazepine, not a very strong one too, Flubromazepam, but Health Canada put it in Schedule III (which is basically just benzos named individually, if not in the list, you're fine).
The only other time was ludicrous, from ppe2u, in regular mail (they're a lot more iffy about anything express, the many times I noticed they have definitely opened a package of CD's (without jewel cases to save on the shipping). But one time, they let a letter that had a perfect square of air sealed STOPAYNES, and I got an LL for this, saying they seized a letter sent to me containing Codeine and "suspected" meprobamate...the effin' Stillpayne/Stopayne insert they have over there where it can be bought OTC was in there...idiots. It contained the maximum of codeine a pill can contain in Canada (8mg) when sold without a prescription and was mixed with 2 products like the law says here, but I guess the tylenol and caffeine, they didn't feel like mentioning them. I'm lucky it was only 8mg codeine...I've ordered hydrocodone and 100mg codeine capsules in the past, where you can actually feel it you know (I don't believe a grown man will feel codeine under 90mg).
But yeah, once I used a fake name for the flubromazepam, the name I had registered with that vendor which was 100% cerrtain to be flagged by Canadian Customs, I mean, out of the 4 times I got an LL, they even caught one where a blank DVD case used as a decoy...which is kind of stupid, some vendors use actual cheap movies as decoys and that always worked, and they seized it, but since it's just benzos it's alright. Only worry if you IOP sends you powerful opiates and they get seized I say, but even then, do like the person who said "not at this address", although mailmen since they have their hybrid little trucks and we got those shitty community mailboxes have in their little PDA the names of anyone who receives mail at that one address...so those who were saved by Trudeau's stopping of installation of those communist mailboxes(which would benefit from having a kind of metal flag that goes up to tell us they have been to our box....the people who still get mail from a mailman/woman to your door...you're so lucky you got no idea, QC is entirely community mailboxes unless you live in apartment building or condo building where they already were doing the equivalent of what they do now for everybody, have a key that opens all the boxess of a certain row of similar apartment buildings like where I used to live, the mail was in the lobby and we had a key for it, made sense since there's so many people possible that lives in just one door. My dad also had to do to this, but he's a trucker and lives in the middle of nowhere, community boxes were always in rural areas. But people who live at t the end of a long road attached to some country road with a mailbox at the beginning/entrance, still get delivery to their own mailbox.
Sorry for the long post but I really detest CanadaPost, their "upgrade" process starting 2 ½ years ago was actually a reversal...like how one cannot track a package that needs to be signed for anymore, you can follow it on the other country's mail service but once it leaves that country, there's no way to know, I called their 1-800 number customer service, and they aren't polite like the office of the mailworkers in my town who are extremely helpful, the 1-800 people were like, it's the UPU that forced us to do this! And we were one of the last country to do it! UPU You ask? Yeah Universal Postal Union, they got a website, and when a cd I ordered was obviously opened at customs, really, I'm a music maniac, so I get a lot of mail, there's a site that's a lot like Ebay out there which is just about music and they have perfect discographies of all artists you can think of and lists of who sells what, discogs if you never heard of it, well they opened a package containing a CD without the jewel case, I get them like that because since the CAD went to crap..it's slowly crawling back up t hough, 0,77 today, wow, it was at 0,71 at its worst which lasted a long time.
The guy who sent me the CD didn't help his case though, he used his username over there and it's like "Senor *spanish name*" so it looked strange to somebody, that explains how damn long it took to arrive home, ordered in late march, arrived yesterday, so after the CSBA inspected it and I hope they felt like wasting my tax dollars after doing so, repackaged it, and somehow now it had another name and address from the Netherlands, same town though, and it was sent to me back by xpresspost, and under the code it said UPU code.
But I still don't buy it, NOBODY from anywhere in Europe or Australia have this issue where they can't track a package they have to sign anymore since about 2 years, so vendors that do offer express mail that requires no signature are the best option easily, but that's a lot more rare these days, that AirSure option in some European countries does that, as well as less expensive but better than lettermail packaging. They tell me over there a year ago how it's the "UPU" like any average citizen knows what it is and why mail workers apparently have a worldwide union that's so inclined on screwing Canada over (I'd include the US too....when shipping something to Canada became 14 USD for almost anything, I lost it (temporarily), that combined with the fact that the CAD was at 0,95 USD in January 2015 and in December 2015 it was at 0,78 and continued to drop and kind of stopped dropping at 0,71, it's still stupid. When it comes to buying music say from an American, I can't buy vinyl records much anymore, unless they are EP's and 7"'s which are still shipped expensively compared to 2 years ago where the price hikes in USPS were installed but less so that an album sold for "8.00" USD and when a vendor has the process of shipping automatized, and you see that means 27 dollars to order....I'm glad the government is telling the bank of canada to implement measures so the loooy isn't so...crappy. already shows a bit, went from 0,72 to 0,77 in a week like I said.
By the way the LL I received with the random name I had on that one seller's site, it wasn't a registered email, because they knew I didn't live there? It seems this community mailbox thing was a way with mail to be certain of where anyone lives for the federal government. That was the first time I got an LL though, practically 3 years ago now out of 5, 4 all from a store in the UK (I can mention this I'm sure, as the UK banned everything that is not cigarettes, alcohol and medicine that is approved drugs, UK is the most repressive country in the "Caucasian world" so it was strange how many vendors and IOP's they had at one point in the past, but that all ended last year because of that psychotic bitch Theresa May who has been the main politician behind that law over there.
The others, all but one my girlfriend answered the door and signed and the last time I saw the little white hybrid panel truck stop in front of the house, I went in a room where he couldn't see me and told my mom, answer it's the mailman, and thankfully it was for a package for me, they let her sign it on their impossible to sign correctly devices (you don't feel the pressure when you write), it was the CD I talked about that def spent 3 weeks in customs before being sent to me in next-day priority), when I heard package I calmed down, I had nothing I had the need to wait for that was medicine so I kinda knew, but I don't want the guy to know how I look especially since that one time, my health card doesn't represent me much, I wear contact lens, I was out of juice for them and I'm the kinda guy that gets bearded like a bear after 3 days of no shaving, but that Canadian chemical reseller demanded a signature and when looking at canadapost's site for the progress of my item, the day I knew it was arriving (sent by expedited parcel), Ididn't see ID required (to verify I was over 19 which...for most of Canada is the real adulthood age, although they can vote at 18, (we should be able to vote at 16 when we're finishing high school, we learned everything we needed to know about the basic grand-arc issues of Canada so whatever..). Well showing the mailman, who was still delivering home then but their "modernization" had started, the first ID card they accept everywhere, in my wallet, I pulled out my provincial health card and when I gave it to him I said, does this have everything you need, looking for my driver's license (another control mechanism there, which they make money from, not CP but SAAQ in my case, gotta have a card that gives everything about you from your height weight and address, I,m surprised there's no phone number on it, before I leave this digression, that's why I do not pay for a phone that's more a tracking device, I'm sorry but I'll have to say, idiots pay for so when you enter a Home Hardware or whatever the wifi there sucks all your data and tries to find anything on your computer that might interest you in the store in relation to it all and flood you with sms or whatever about some discount products etc.
I love computers, I'm a Linux user heh, but yeah, that shows I'm not getting sucked in that trap. So the mailman's scanning device for the barcodes and info they got to upload by jacking themselves to the community boxes (that's how I receive an email in Thunderbird knowing I got a package in the mail). Alright, I'm done now, his device is also a camera and he just casually puts my provincial health card on the counter next to the door and takes a picture without asking me if I agree, I would have said no, it was a very small order and I didn't mind losing the money. So on that picture I look, well normal, but not 90's and on normal if you know what I mean, although a few days beard is in fashion, which is great, I hate shaving so much that I have a Phillips electric one with a base with cleaning liquid inside, when you got more beard in your neck that your face...wasn't able to have a goatee, not that i want to, but when shaving,until I was way past 25 let's say.
I could go on and on about CanadaPost, they're the most horrible "crown corporation" in the world, I'm sure Indian mail is more efficient and intrudes less into people's privacy and do not open a package randomly at selected intervals, which is how they do it now, for regular mail less so, but some people/IOP's/rc vendors will not use it. Screw CanadaPost, the not being able to follow "registered" (tracked & signed) packages anymore is so non-sensical because when I call my town's mailworker's office, they still got the old tracking system, the one that looked web 1.0 3 years ago but it was fine that way, it actually gave us more information, if something arrives in the Montreal airport say, and then moves on, they don't even bother to tell you that it's been through that other triage center closer to home and they don't have a truck that leaves at 5 am on mondays to my town, so if something arrived late on Sunday, it will not be delivered, even if "express" in any way, say it arrived at 11:30 PM at the city in between Montreal and me where often it will go to triage there again, but not always, sometimes, I'll just get a short bar saying it was accepted in Montreal then until it gets here, no movement of the cursor, nothing, they don't even tell you when the n the package left Montreal most often if its an international package, suddenly one morning it will say oh, it's in your town's triage center, which means it will be delivered that day. I was gonna say this morning but since those amazing community boxes, we don't get mail at max 11h30 am (I live at the end of a run too, I think there is only 2 other community boxes after mine), mot often the mail guy whom I knew from college who dropped out because he had been accepted to work at CP, which is very difficult....for no reason at all too, well I guess the union is the reason. He'd arrive sometimes at 9h45, but with these trucks and community boxes, complete randomness and sometimes delivery at 3pm, once I saw 4pm and it wasn't the day where government pensions, unemployment cheques, disability cheques and welfare cheques comes in, even if people have it automatically deposited in their bank account or almost everybody does, they still send useless letters to confirm it, for all these reasons at the end of a month.
I yakked more than enough, but CP continually fuels anger in me when I had zero problems before all these cuts, no more door-to-door delivery to regular houses in I guess 75% of the country. Thank you Stephen Harper, you and your Harperites managed to screw Canada so bad, that quote of yours when you got elected to the best you could do legally (2011 was a constitutional fraud, but I'll ask other canadians elsewhere another time if they know about this)., a minority government. CP's argument was that since 2006 (when the Tories got in by a thread and hung to that thread in 2008 again, and basically prevented the first coalition government to exist in Canada (it's possible like all Commonwealth countries I guess, but never happened), Liberals and NDP (NDP wanted to scrap the whole community box stuff and one of their argument was, you're using trucks, even if hybrid, you manage to add traffic to the road system and waste gas.) They should have mentioned more, NDP should still be the opposition at least, Trudeau crowbared his way in places by stealing NDP and BQ seats). I kept my NDP MP and she's written back to me on everything I contacted her about, not something I can say about provincial level MLA's)...in theory, since Canada is a Confederation, where each provinces hold more weight except for the money that disappears in a blackhole in Ottawa, who's only responsibility they are visibly taking care of is constructing a new Champlain bridge...the old one is holding by the tons of stuff they added to it to make it hold while the 10-12 years that thing will take to be built. If this was Europe, the bridge would be made in 3 years maybe 5 max. Ugh..
