Default Any Canadians having trouble with Canadian customs

I live in Toronto and had a local tire shop place an order for 5 pro comp rims in mid April. The order arrived at Canadian customs 4 weeks ago. The smart people they are decided to release 3 of the 5 rims only

I was wondering if anyone else has had recent trouble with customs. The shop is checking in with customs frequently but doesn't know when the other 2 rims will arrive ? Any advice would be great...

I bought from Discount Tire Direct. They precharge for all taxes and brokerage up front, no border suprises and delivered directly to you. Best prices I found, and that was 2 springs ago with a 93 cent dollar. I'd definatly deal with them again. That was with mounted 37s. Sorry I can't be more help.

I've always picked up my tires (and other parts) in the US then pay duty at the border. I don't trust Cdn Border Patrol with shipping / releasing goods unless there is no way around it.

I always pay. Can't seem to find a way to smuggle 5 - 35" tires across the border in my vehicle...

I've never had a problem with anything at the border, and I order A LOT cross border.

...if some wonder why? It's because most Canadian retailers are thieves
