Shipping to Canada
I ordered from Canada. My order was shipped via UPS. The order was withheld at customs in the Canada-US border. Nobody informed me. I waited for over 10 days. I then asked Empire Imports for the tracking number. UPS demanded CAD33 to clear the package at customs. However, this is too expensive compared to my order worth USD50. So, I made a trip to Canada Border Services to clear the package myself. I suggest Empire Imports to ship by government's US Postal Service for shipments to Canada.

Good morning Edward Thank you for your purchase with Empire Imports and taking a moment to reach out to us on Trust Pilot. We apologize that your order was delayed by UPS due to the customs process. It is not always an easy process for us to accurately establish what the duties and fees will be once a customer's order arrives to the border. We do our best to express that to the customer prior to them making the purchase or before processing the order. We will certainly look into offering US Postal services for our Canadian customers, especially on smaller purchases. In the future, do not hesitate to reach out to us as we will always reach out to UPS to try and expedite the process for you as well. Once again I apologize for the inconvenience and delay in your order process. Thank you, Empire Imports Customer Service
