Hey everyone,

we just got back from Buffalo. Everything went very well, immigration officers were fast.

When we got to the US Customs, we told the customs agent that we were landing and were doing the flagpole method. The officer denied us admission to the US to help expedite the process. There was no negative drawbacks for denying us admission to the states. It just got us turned around faster.

Canadian Immigration was a breeze, no line ups at 10pm. 10 minutes and we were out of there. Paid $3 for the toll to come back into Canada and was even greeted by a singing tollbooth worker! Funniest guy ever!

Wishing all the best to the rest!

DHL is very fast. 3 days for a delivery from Manila to Toronto. If you miss the delivery, DHL will leave a sticker on your door with the tracking number on it.

We missed our delivery, but drove to the DHL processing office and picked it up.
