I just got an email from Lipyn saying that delivery of my Degen DE1103 had
to be stopped because Canada customs was denying delivery here in Canada and
sending shipments back to China. Has anyone had this problem recently?
It's too bad, I was hoping to get my radio before Xmas.

Lipyn said they would suspend all Canadian orders until Canada customs says
why shipments are being returned to sender. I hope this can be resolved
soon. Lipyn comes highly recommended and his prices are second to none.
Maybe this will be straightened out in the new year.

Canada Customs = lump of coal


Sounds like BS to me. If indeed Customs were refusing access, they
would have given a reason why.

The reason may be that the communist Chinese have been forging UL and
CSA testing certificates on some electrical devices. The last episode
involved compact fluorescent bulbs. There have been fires caused by
this junk.

The affected bulbs (this time) are the 13 watt Mini Spiral versions.

This is as bad as those lead cont animated window shades they were
selling a few years back and the recycled carbon from crankcase oil
that was made into printer's ink and used in exported books. I had one
and it actually stunk. Carcinogenic.


Our governments aren't doing their jobs.

I had 4 of these--for anyone that does, go here http://www.globe-
electric.com/pdf/Press%20Release%20Fujian%20Joinluck%20October%2028 .pdf ,
get the address, and mail them in for replacement. They send you 2 for 1
replacements. I got my replacements within 2 weeks. I still am not going
to install them in a a fixture that runs at night when everyone is
sleeping..

Sure they are (at least the American government) They are in full support
of the Free Greed System. If you can make money at it, it must be good.

Canada Customs has been working without a contract for some time now
and " may" be doing some "work to rule." I don't know this but it is
a fairly common tactic during labor/management negotiations.
Another story that was on one of Vancouver TV stations said that
due to security concerns the USPS was no longer directing parcels to
Calgary or Regina leaving Vancouver as the main point of entry in the
west. This resulted in a horrendous backlog of parcels waiting to
clear customs.
