Chrose1201 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Last year I sold a guitar to a guy from Canada. He drove down from Montreal (I live in upstate NY) and bought the guitar. No idea if he had any border issues. I am looking at a guitar that's in Canada. If I drive I can save a small fortune on shipping. Does anyone have any knowledge about what the rules, if any, might be? Thanks. Shoot never mind. I just realized I don't want that particular guitar. Sorry... my bad! I don't know how to delete the post 😄 Edited May 27, 2021 by Chrose1201 Changed mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the boarders are open again, I'm going to Canada just to get the hell out of the US for a change of pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimt Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Borders are closed unless its a essential service. They say up here maybe June 21 for reopening. At our end they have been bumping the month and date since Nov 2020. Your from the US ? Made in the US . You can buy anything you want. And take it back. Just make sure your total cash ,or check, does not exceed 9999.00 cdn No firearms, no dope. Declare all items if you intend to leave items here. Customs officers like there power trips. to be sure talk to US customs prior for re entry. Edited May 27, 2021 by slimt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t gotten real id yet so I’m limited to where I can go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weed is legal there. The whole country of Canada when legal a few years ago. Weed is legal here in about 10 to 15 states and Virginia goes legal in one month and 6 days. Edited May 27, 2021 by Sgt.

jvi Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 weed was never a big issue here before , not unless you dealt, now we have more rules and penalties about where you buy it and how you grow it AND now road blocks include pot impaired checks, but you can buy it and choose MANY varieties, no smoking rules apply like cigs (no smoking in LOTS of public places.) mmmmn is it too early ?....

Whitefang Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 So, with all the web sites that are supposedly reasonably priced and plentiful here in the states, and GC's all over the place, WHAT'S so special about that particular guitar that would have you consider travelling into Canada to buy it? Some long time coveted but discontinued model perhaps? Or some other rare vintage? Whitefang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Vox was running a special a few years ago in Canada.. Buy a Vox Amp & get a free Guitar.. I forget the name of the models but were like Les Pauls... I live in So Cal.. I called & tried to buy one.. Long story short they wouldn’t honor the Sale price out of Canada & there was some big hassle about shipping to the U.S. It was too much trouble... Unfortunately, the same deal wasn’t offered in the U.S.A. Because Kong represents U.S.A. & another Co. represents Canada or something like that...
