We travel to Canada every year to ride horses in the Rockies for a week. Last year, as every year, we shipped our jeans, hats, boots, western gear, etc, ahead of time by FedEx so we didnt have to pack it in our luggage. We marked the box to indicate that we were shipping our own personal clothes for horseback riding. Customs in Canada held our clothes up for days and it took an act of Congress to get our own VERY USED clothes released to us. All of the Customs agents I dealt with were either incompetent or rude. We spend about $10,000 a week there ever year for two or three weeks at a time. This year may be the last time simply because of the treatment from Customs.
Btw, the people have always been great. Weve always been welcomed and treated like friends by everyone in Canada except the government employees. They act like they are doing you a favor to allow you to come up and spend thousands of American dollars in their country..
