Re: Buying Gear in mexico in person.
I have gone to Mexico 3 times. Border is only 2.5 hour drive. So far I have been lucky in that I found a decent supplier right off the bat (research, research, research......). I only bring back small quantities, and I walk across the border. I figured it is easier in the long run to make more trips than try to bring back too much at one time. Each time has been different. First time they scanned my passport, no questions. Second time, they looked at my passport and asked if I had any medications, to which I replied yes and showed them my Novaldex. Third time, they asked where I was a citizen and if I had any medications at which time I showed them my T4 and Orudis. I never take the gear out of my shorts until I walk in the front door at home. If that means sweaty balls for 3 hours, so be it. I am polite to the locals, and I tip them for giving me a good deal. Since I am a repeat customer, my prices have gotten better. I will find a mail order supplier, but for now, this serves my needs well
