What???? You're going back? Why? I live 45 minutes from TJ and stopped going down there two years ago when the same shit happened to me. The difference was they took me for $300 and then gave all the gear back to me and proceeded to advise me on how to stash it better in the car so customs wouldn't find if I got pulled over into secordary inspection.
Bro, It's all part of the same scam. The Pharmacies and Vet Stores are in with the local police. Fuck that shit. The truth of the matter is that they will cuff you, put in you in the cop car and threaten to take you jail but the bottomline is they're after your $$$. There are much less riskier ways to go about getting your gear. TJ would be the last resort for me. It ain't worth the hassle.
I disagree Juice Authority.
The prices in TJ are what make it appealing.
Sources list the same stuff you can get in Mexico, but marked up by 100%.
If you live close to the border, it is cost effective to get your gear there, and there are very low risk ways to do it.
Its not risk free, but neither is ordering from any source.

Trust me, I'm very familiar with the landscape in TJ as far as where to go. The TJ cops are crooked. I don't think anyone here would argue that point. They also watch the well-known Vet stores and pharmacies and wait for people to go in, buy their gear and leave. As soon as they leave these places these cops are on them like flies on shit. When you factor the costs of bribing a TJ cop it puts the price point well above that which Internet sources charge. Plus, there's no headaches smuggling the shit across the border.
I agree with the headaches of smuggling across the border, that sucks. But personal supplies (small amounts) are usually not that nerve racking.
As far as the cops. There is really only one place to go in TJ now, and as long as your follow a very specific protocol, you'll never get hassled. If you do happen to, which has never happened to me, the owner of that shop will get your money or gear or both back. Again, its never happened, but he gives that personal guarentee.

Ganero Los Alazan...I know the owner and still got harrassed by the police when I was leaving. That place is a bust. I'd steer clear of there if I were you.

Never had a problem at that place.
When you step foot out you should be going straight into your cab, which, if you did things right, you would have told to wait there for you while you took care of busines in the shop.
You get dropped off right at the border, near the bike rental.. there is no way you'd get harrassed by cops unless they actually pulled the cab over.. which is extremely rare.
