Hi everybody.

I sent a Ion to Canada, and it was returned because of the description not being clear enough for custom. (the description was "paintball goods")

Soo...

What can I put in there so it wont take years at customs?

Best thing to do is take the frame and barrel off(if you can) Mark the label as sporting good or paintball parts. Make sure you have ALL the reciever's info, addy(DUH;)) and phone number, both Canda and the US have been clamping down on requiring FULL info on the shipper and recivers for parcels going cross border.

What shipper did you use? USPS can be a pain, but its cheaper for us canucks as we have to pay a brokerage fee to bring it in the country. :( UPS and FedEx usually don't give as much hassle but it can happen.
