Found this today... :(

I ordered a red dot scope from Evike and I got a no go for it. They are blacklisted from Canadian customs now he told me. He did not even want to sell it to me.

Gave me this link in the PayPal refund message:

What is going on? Can't we order stuff like that anymore in US?

Why does the name Peter Kang sound so familiar?

[SDS_ShooterMcGavin]

[SDS_ShooterMcGavin]

Who was such a chode?

RDS, blacklisted? More like Evike being complete fucktards as usual...

[Drache]

Im thinking that Evike themselves might be blacklisted. I do know that anything coming from Ebaybanned now is checked....

[Ktown Militia]

yah, thats shitty when you cant even get an RDS into canada. I bought one from Cali back in april, and had no problems.

I think Evike is just not shipping to Canada now.

There's no reason for any accessory not being allowed in.

As for stuff getting checked, it seems to go on and off. For a while, all my packages were being checked, then over the summer nothing got checked. Could be that Evike etc was sending guns so now CBSA is scrutinizing more.

I don't see why a red dot would be blacklisted unless if it contained tritium and I don't think RDS have those.

[surebet]

Some higher end items might be on the ITAR list, but that would be an export issue, not an import.

My vote still stand for "complete fucktards".

[Shirley]

That's pretty fucked, what RDS were you ordering anyways?

[jesster202]

lol this is false i have a a order on the way form evike they ship it usps and shit shit like barrels i have a kjw threaded barrel maby they just didnt ship that item. my past experices with evike all pacages have been opend by csba, same ass most of the stuff form airsoft gi they must just be permaitly blacklisted on csba. and i have had many parts come from china so dont worry shit any banned its just them. just weird how i could order

We have no problem with importing, but the Americans have a problem with exports. Without the proper permits and to satisfy ITAR regulations, many American retailers and manufacturers have just said "Fuck it" to exports. The U.S. State Dept. is really coming down hard on exports. Within a few months, you likely won't even be able to get a new AR into Canada via the retail network. Accessories, especially optics, NV, or anything the U.S. thinks gives them a technological or tactical edge, forget it.

It's funny, we're a willing market in arms and supplies, and for once, the Americans won't sell to us.
