Bringing gear into Canada**need opinions**

[bluewaterbobby]

I have recently been in contact with a US based organization (I am sure most are aware of) that prescribes anabolic products to those who provide blood work and fit a medical history profile.
I have forwarded off the necessary information and I am ready to place an order.
I am a Canadian citizen, and have been informed by the organization that they will not ship to Canada.
I live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, which is right on the michigan border.
The company has indicated that they will ship the product to a UPS store in Michigan for me, and I could then pick it up.
My problem then is how do I get it through customs?
I am looking for some feedback on the different ideas I have.

1/ I pick up the product at the UPS store and mail it from Michigan to my Canadian address. I would discreetly package it and send it via courier.

2/ I pick up the package and without opening it write "return to sender" on the package. I then put the package in my vehicle and proceed to cross the border returning home. If I am asked what I have to declare I say "nothing".
If they search my vehicle they will find the package marked "return to sender".
Would I still be held responsible for the package if I claimed I was going to mail the package back once i got home, as I did not order it?

3/I pick up the package and remove the product from the package and remove the labels. I then put the product in a diabetic case in my vehicle and proceed to try to cross the border.
What would they do if they were suspicious of an unlabeled product?

Your thoughts are appreciated.
Thank you

That sounds like way to much work ...

There are lots of good canadian sources out there , i suggest you do a bit more research and maybe find one .

If you have a prescription you're perfectly fine. Heck, they're not gonna search you. If they do, they most likely won't find it. If they do find it, just show them your prescription. IF that won't do, they're just gonna tell you that you've been a bad boy and they'll confiscate your stuff. Hey, it's Canada, not the US. Nothing bad is gonna happen. After all, what you're doing is perfectly fine in the US, and thus most likely perfectly fine up here as well.

I didn't think that it was as hard to get steroids in Canada. The laws aren't nearly as hard on people up there as they are here in the US.

It's just as hard to obtain them. The difference is possesion of pretty much anything for personal use isn't a felony. When your really in trouble here is smuggling across the line and distribution.

Your better off to mail them. If a customs agent catches it you just lose your gear. If you get caught bringing it into the country yourself your in trouble.

I've been searching.. a lot. I'm looking at international sources because the only domestic I can find are shady dope dealers who know "a guy"

If you get stopped crossing the border, canada customs can, will and have the right to open and search anything in your car. Just because you write something on a package, doesnt mean they will not open it.. My suggestion is just send it to a POBox, and mail it back to yourself.. Why take chances? EMS express 3-5 days, youll have it..

I live in the Detroit area and worked at the Ren Cen and Bramilia ... went to Ontario a lot over the bridge and through the tunnel.

Do not take anything illegal through US and/or Canadian customs. They read people like a book and have 9/11 powers today that will make you cringe.

Find a way to ship or mail it over. Better yet ... do all your business in Canada.

You have a perscription. When they search your car, if they even do that, present your perscription. I would first check with your customs to make sure that is sufficent though. I would think it is.
