Curious if anyone here has experience ordering from these types of sites. I know Americans have a pretty good success rate with customs and what not, but I've read literally nothing from Canadians. I mostly want glassware at the moment, but I'd like to slip a few bottles in as well.

From everything I have heard, it is not worth the risk. The usually catch and and always "destroy the contents" ...

Did BIAB and Etre about a half dozen times total. About a 67% success rate. 4 I got were fantastic, but probably pissed away ~$500 on the two that didn't make it through.

YMMV.

Better idea to ship these to the US?

No question about it. Still not guaranteed to have the box make it to you, but your chances are significantly better. If you have a US address that you can use, I would recommend it.
