Seizure and inspection likely when purchasing a container from Antiques Supermarket.
Due to our recent issues with misrepresentation of items from Antiques Supermarket and Charles Shackleton / Les Swainbank we reported his practices to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency also to Canada Customs. Both agencies take import fraud seriously.
FYI.: The likelihood of any container coming from The Antiques Supermarket being seized for examination is quite high. Due to multiple reports to the English, U.S. and Canadian governments of fraud and misrepresentation. “FREE” unlisted merchandise is illegal for a variety of reasons and could lead to a great deal of problems when dealing with customs. Such as refusal of entry and serious fines. The technical term is smuggling. Any time you try to get something across the border by any sort of deception or omission the government likes to call it smuggling.
Listing an item on the customs declaration as being made in 1910 but made in 1980 is a crime. Even if the creative paperwork comes from the other side the receiver is liable. This could also jeopardize future containers from any source. Once you make it on the customs list it take a while for them to trust you again.

I really wish I would have found this site before I bought a container. I was so stupid that we bought 2 boxes since it took 4-6 weeks to get the first one we figured we would have it gone when the second one hit. We had already paid a deposit (50%) on the 2nd box when the 1st box got to us. It was filled with such shit that we would have been better off letting him keep the 15 thousand because i'm sure we'll lose more than that anyways. It's amazing how you can make stuff sound so good and it be so bad.
