The hazardous issue is with air travel; polish can be shipped via ground. When I drive to US and back, its via ground. I always declare my items including stating what it is and have all my receipts; I don't mind paying customs and would rather have that versus confiscating something I didn't declare....and have never had an issue bringing back nail polish. If anthing, I always get, do you own a business? And I think they think I'm a little kooky when I tell them is just for me; its my little hobby! Re: the extra fees to ship to Canada; I can't answer why its so expensive. And btw, even though polish isn't suppose to be mailed via air, I still get packages that say polish in the item declaration and they are fine. And I even had a package opened by customs not too long ago that was marked cosmetics; they found four little polishes I had ordered; the unwrapped one, I guess looked at it and no one like it! wrapped it back up, put the customs tape on it and sent it on is merry way! And for purging, I do believe nailxchange tried to take a bunch of packages over the border to mail, and was stopped and made turn around at customs; they wouldn't let her bring them in to US to mail. I'm pretty sure she did a post on it. And if you mean shipped to US and then you drove there to get the polishes, ya, I do it alllll the time...how do you think I get Lynnderellas off ebay that won't ship to Canada? There's also lots of indies that won't ship to Canada either; I use a UPS Store mailing address, drive across the border to get and head home. I've declared the packages with no problems. Sometimes its too handy being close to the border!<br />mrsrexyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490749372201224624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331970931111312172.post-13236928508640793102012-09-25T15:42:54.063-04:002012-09-25T15:42:54.063-04:00This is great!

They won't ship the shany 2012 ones either. Yet, they shipped my Red Angel and Bundle Monster ones.<br />Did they mention what the shipping problem was for you?<br />Plates are so light and non-hazardous materials. I wonder what the issue is.Amanda Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17894754544147123960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331970931111312172.post-40343868302811164802012-02-08T05:08:53.088-05:002012-02-08T05:08:53.088-05:00Omg so you just were in my city!
