FOREIGN CENTERJERSEY CITY NJ 099--Update- Mask may be seized

Yeah this is the 1st time ive had this happen to me out of so many orders from outside the US…When I get packages from AHG they always arrive in a about a weeks time but then again Mike ships priority…In the future im gonna request it or just not buy LoL…I will pay the extra charge for priority to not deal with this hassle…Becasue the guy also said I would of had the package a week ago if it was shipped priority :unamused: …But anyway, we will see what happens…Another day gone and no package but I have untill friday to freak out again…Later guys

Thanks Curtis! For whatever its worth mine is priority so i hope mine don’t freeze too long in the ice box there but its good to know you got an answer.

I agree completely bro :drinkers:

ya. i had a package come from Canada(Why the hell must all mask makers live in friggin Canada, eh?) and the day after it was sent, it was in Chicago…where it stayed for about 8-9 days. Insane, right? Good thing it was the masks i was waiting four years for, heh.

I hope most the foreign mask sellers do Priority Mail or will start factoring it into the cost, so this does not happen


"…Its not like the mask was filled with with Cocaine or anything " or was it? heheh

Well I wouldnt know brotha…I havent got it yet :laughing:

great…just got something coming from greece!! lol been waiting months for this bad boy as it is due to other reasons

shes ganna be like

“Well, sir, i should not be telling you this, but drug runners who come out Canada have been turning the cocaine into masks to get past customs, and once past, turn it back into cocaine; and sir, your mask is kind of whiteish. Doesnt really taste like coke though, and i should know. oh heheh i should not have said that”

Ordering from Canada is no different then me ordering from the USA, I wait & wait & wait then get HIT WITH HUGE BROKERAGE OR DUTY… There is no need to worry, I have sent masks from Canada for over 8yrs, this is just some stupid mistake with the postal service, ANYONE worried about ordering from Canada is just wrong, it is not like we are some far away Country, I live 20 minutes from the Border. I don’t see why this was posted & not brought to my attention, USA & CANADA are not all that different except a border that seperates us. No worries about a small delay, man I have waited along time for packages to arrive at my place, this is kind of how the ball bounces, The mask was packaged like any other mask that comes from my shop, no difference at all.

PLUS ANYTHING THAT LEAVES MY SHOP GOES EXPEDITED DELIVERY, WITH TRACKING & INSURANCE, I NEVER EVER SHIP TO THE USA WITHOUT TRACKING & INSURANCE. This is the best way we can ship from Canada, if you want X-press shipping my masks will not be from $100 to $200 shipped, it is EXPENSIVE to ship next day or 2-3 day.

ya i have had a mask in NYC since friday and it says origin post is preparing shipment. dont know wat that means and i hope its just that they havent updated it , and it gets here tommorow

Cool, Thanks for the info Bob. Heh imagine ordering masks in Somalia, heheh. And you guys have Tim Hortons!

Lando, the Chicago location i think was the last time they updated its location…than it was just here. Course that afternoon Canada Post did send me a email informing it was delivered to my address, so hooray for that.

Bob I didnt bring it up to you because I know you did your part and very well at that…I stated that many times…I wasnt blaming you bud I was blaming the customs over here in the states…Hell some woman at USPS said they might have seized the package so I was lost LoL…This wasnt against you man which is why I never mentioned your name or brought it to your attention…I knew you werent at fault…I thought the customs here in Jersey was screwing up, feeding me crap, and was only trying to see if anyone could assist me in dealing with it here in the sates…Simply because I have never dealt with this type of custom delay especially when Im told a package with a simple halloween mask may have been seized…Hoestly I was thinking they lost it and were feeding me bull…I love your work man(always praise it) and think your a cool dude…I wasnt trying to upset you and didnt think this would either considering I said many times that you were great to deal with…I paid you sent the mask the very next day and with tracking…Dude what more could I ask for right :sunglasses: …That was the perfect transaction :sunglasses: …This was a thread complaining about the customs in New jersy, their policy basically and how they run things…I order from Canada and overseas all the time with no problem so I know for a fact they are doing something wrong there this time…So again my friend this wasnt against you at all…This was against our customs here in the states and that it brotha…I apologize if it seemed otherwize bud…I tried to keep you clear of this my man…Sorry about the confusion and for the record I would buy from you again without hesitation and I would highly recomend you to anyone here in this hobby…

So that why this was posted bud…To seek help from someone who might have dealt with this place in jersy on a similar issue and time frame…I didnt post this post to complain about canadian shipping or buying from canada…Hell man I only mentioned canada to state where it came from…This whole thing has been about the FOREIGN CENTERJERSEY CITY NJ 099…I even stated that I heard bad things about reaching this particular facility and never being delivered…This is why I made this post bro…I was only searching for those who have dealt with this place(In Jesey city) and could possibly tell me about their experience…And it worked…I was able to get a number made the call myself and got a response…I didnt want to contact you because you did your part and I wanted to try and handle it myself…I just needed some assistance in heading in the right direction man thats all…AHell I thought I was doing the right thing in trying to settle here in the states before bugging you about it you know LoL…anyway, sorry if you took things wrong bud…Later guys

Just for the record, Bob i am reffering to a different mask just incase.

Yeah and neither was I…This post was soly about the place in Jersey…I think its bull that they dont treat packages the same and I think its bull that they hold them for so long…Thats it…I never mentioned Bob, the mask I was waiting on or one bad thing about our transaction…I have actually said it went great and it did…I didnt even mention anything about canadian shipping…Only where the package is from…I was soly concerned about the customs place in new jersey that all…I have no idea how my post for knowledge(No rudeness or bad mouthing) could upset anyone…I never posted one negative thing in this thread…Only frustration on how this place in Jersey has Handled my package…That is the bottom line and is absolutely nothing more than that…Damn :confused:

Hey man just thought I would put my 2 cents in. I hope everything works out for you man. If not it looks like me and you are going to have to go and dress up like Myers (You being H9 and me being h10 Half mask) and break into that place and get your mask :rock: .

LoL hey Mick…Sounds like a plan bud…Yeah I was worried about the place not Bob…I said he the man did his part and he did…I paid and he sent the mask out the next day with tracking info…The package was moving smooth untill it got to this place in Jersey…Then I look online trying to investigate the place and read bad things about it…So after that I call usps and the lady there said normally when they hold a package that long its being seized…So I was like what the hell is wrong with this place…Its only a halloween mask…Then when I finally get ahold of someone up there they couldnt tell me much of anything othet than this crap about packages being handled and treated differently than priority packages and that they cam be held for 30-40 days…That bull IMO…So I wasnt frustrated with my order from Bob or buying from canada at all…How could I be he was great to deal with and got the mask shipped within hrs pretty much…My frustration lies with the foreign center in jersey and that it…Im sure anyone else would be frustrated with this place also…I can understand holding packages for a few days even a week or 2, but 30-40 :confused: :unamused: …Thats absurd and I dont care how the package is shipped…Later guys

I think, Curtis, Bob might have been referring to Rons post about not ordering from Canada anymore too?

I just dont want him thinking I was trying to bring him down or something…I saw he posted he didnt know why this post was made and not brought to his attention…So I assumed it was towards me and still think it was…Its cool and all but people need to read post before the get upset…I dont have any problem buying from Canada, I do it all the time…Id buy from Bob again in a heart beat considering how well and fast he shipped the mask out…I thought I made myself clear that my frustrations were with the place in jersey…So I was only trying to explain it better with my last couple of post why I made this thread…It drives me crazy when I get called out before some reading has been done and people jump the gun…Thats all guys and I hope Bob doesnt think I was upset with him or trying to cause problems…I think Bob is a cool dude and I love his work…I wouldnt do that…Bob did his part on this which is why I never went to him with the issue…I wanted to try and solve it over here in the states first without getting him involved because he did his part…I was trying to be respectful towards him…Last thing someone wants is to hear from a buyer complaining about a package not arriving when they did everything right…If Im not able to to solve the issue then I will seek Bobs help…I think thats the fair way to handle something like this…Anyway, no harm I just wanted to make this clear…Later guys

Curtis, I never meant any harm by my post, i just don’t want people thinking not to order from Canada, hell that puts a damper on my business if people are worried about ordering from here. I am not frustrated or mad or anything else, I think it is quite stupid that you have not received your package yet. I apoligize if I said anything out of line & I was not mad at you, I just don’t like the fact of people thinking Canada is some far off remote land, USA & CANADA are neighbors, anyway.

Take care & all is good man.

No problem at all Bob…Its not Canada anyway bro…Its this place in jersey who are behind, backed up, or something…They need to change that 30-40 day policy thats for sure LoL…But its this place not canada…Ive never had a problem with any other custom facility whether it be in canada or somewhere here in the US…This is the first time ive had a package reach this place in jersey and the package is just being held up there…I would buy from you again in a heart beat bud…You were great and I will keep buying from canada also because normally I get packages pretty quick from there…And we are neighbors guys…You are just as safe to buy from canada as you are here in the US and I would like everyone to know that also…I buy from canada all the time with no issues…Thats why I never once mentioned in this thread anything about buying from Canada…I really only stated where it was coming from because we are neighbors and it shouldnt be held like this…In a way I was like “Its only coming canada”…But according to the guy in the Jersey center the package should be here friday…So one more time fella’s…Canada was not the issue here at all…The package went through them with flying colors…It didnt have a problem untill it reached our custom’s place here in the US in Jersey city…Later guys

Curtis is correct, it has zero to do with Canada.

To others and Ron, you have to think first. The package left Canada and is being held by YOUR postal service, not ours LOL! It wouldn’t matter if the package was sent in the USA or Canada, it’s THIS particular processing center that is the problem, not the country of the packages origin.
