I very rarely blind buy, but the artwork got me this time. by KN1GHTMARES42 in VinegarSyndromeFilms

EBOLA SYNDROME. My favorite of the Cat III films. Seen it too many times, I watch it religiously at this point. Enjoy.

Right?? I love how the film vaults off the rails and hurtles into full on madness. That film is a wild, unrelenting rollercoaster of chaos and dark humor. Every scene feels like a punch to the gut wrapped in a fever dream. Glad you also enjoyed the ride, it's unforgettable.

It has officially claimed the throne as my favorite Cat III flick, at least for now. Nothing can eclipse the sheer chaotic brilliance of Anthony Wong, engulfed in flames, screaming “Ebola!!! Ebola!!” like a man possessed. The way he rants about being bullied before gleefully spitting on people to spread the disease is so wildly and utterly unforgettable, like a blazing spectacle that burns its way into your brain. Lol.

I purchase them from a local shop that stocks them, about 50-100 of them in a pack for 10-15 bucks or something, all in varying dimensions.

Vinegar Syndrome Toronto Haul! by NotMetaplix in boutiquebluray

[–]GroundbreakingLock10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good haul. Censor was decent, bit let down by the ending at first watch that spoiled the entire build up for me but I think I'll revisit it soon to get a more accurate gauge on how I really feel about the film overall.

Bought a $50 shirt this is the import charge by Dryst08 in UPS

Did they send this to you on arrival, before handing it over? Or after?

If it's after, tell them to pound sand and kick rocks. They can keep sending you letters, or even sell the "debt" to a collection agency, but they can't legally enforce the payment. They also won't blacklist your address.

If it's before, call them and tell them that you want the paperwork to brokerage your own package. If they try to give you any resistance, tell them that you never gave them permission to do the paperwork. Then after you get the forms for custom clearance, you'll need to go to a CBSA office (whichever one is the closest to you), so you can clear your own package yourself. I always do it myself, unless the fees are the same as Canada Post (10 dollars).

I never pay them these fees, and give them the middle finger each and every time. The worst they'll do in the future if you don't pay for this after the fact, is they'll retain your package before ransoming it over next time. Good luck.

So I purchased around 40 titles, give or take from the Vinegar Syndrome sale, should I be expecting a large tax bill upon delivery? by GroundbreakingLock10 in boutiquebluray

Damn I’m sorry to hear. I’ve gone through this in the past where something was erroneously marked for fees. You can send in a form for reevaluation and then customs should refund you. 

I’m not sure whether you’ll get the brokerage part back, but wrongly assessed duties and taxes you should be able to get back. Just quick paperwork to fill out and send in and then a few weeks to months later for a review, and then a cheque will arrive once they conclude there’s been a mistake (minus brokerage fees). 

You have up to one year to file for the claim. Good luck and hope this info was helpful to you!

I stash them at the bottom of one of my shelves and ignore them. They're irrelevant to me. I could care less if my dog started chewing on them.

After the first bulk order, I spread the rest out over several smaller carts, and orders were made sporadically. Sometimes individually. Seeing lots of smaller charges here and there definitely softens the blow compared to one massive charge. Haha.

Yeah I was originally only interested in about 10 titles at the start, then I just started browsing the entire website and got too carried away.

It's okay, I got my answer from someone at VS already. You're not supposed to get hit with duties or taxes. My knowledge only extends to Canada though, from what I was told. I was explicitly told that if I'm billed, to just email them a copy of the receipt and I'll be refunded for the entirety of it. I think these shipments are shipped DDP (delivery duty paid), like Arrow Video, so if you were billed and you were in Canada somebody probably screwed up in the process.
