honey I have never had a problem going to the states.. but coming to canada.. even as a gift.. they want to know what it is worth.. and it is like this.. we all know what prices are on dog stuff.. we all buy it all the time.. so if you get a dress for 5.00 on a markdown but it was actually a 25.00 dress.. you do not put 25.00 on the paperwork.. you put 5.00... if we get some one to make our buddie a dress or outfit.. then we put down what the material cost for example. toys can be on sale.. nothing to see this.. so why put a larger amount on the toy.. we know how expensive toys can be..and when we get a parcel from the states gift or not.. we do not care what is on the green slip.. I normally would never even look.. again I know what things are worth.. so if some one says something is a dollar or two or 5 or 10.. I do not even look.. that part is immaterial to me.. but when the higer pricers are put on.. then it left me paying 25.00 to pick it up.. I really did come close to sending it back..
this is an issue that has to be dealt with prior to the next BE...many people in the states that have never sent a parcel are unaware that these things happen.. and yup I won the chance..lol I am talking of the one that came to me from the states... not the one I sent to the states.. hope this helps...anne
