I can only speak from personal experience. I've had maybe 30 items shipped here to Canada, all from the US, over the past 2 years or so. I've never had anything damaged, and neither have I noticed that any of the packages have been opened by customs, or anyone else.
Mind you, all of the packages have been small (lenses, cameras and cycling jerseys), so maybe they didn't arouse any suspicions or curiosity at customs. regards, frank Rob Studdert wrote: > Hi Guys, > > I have a problem.
