Hello there -- out of curiosity, have you (or anyone else) had any experience with Customs seizing items?

There have been a number of books I've considered having shipped up here (i.e. from retailers as innocuous as the American version of Amazon, if the .ca version doesn't carry it) but I'm a little hesitant. Will Customs return the goods to the shipper if they disallow it (i.e. for a refund)? Or does it fall into this black hole? And at that, one that you're paying for...

I do know that Canadian Customs had a thing for gay and lesbian content -- especially gay and lesbian S&M -- for a while (i.e. until the Little Sisters book shop in B.C. took them to court) and they've had to relax it a bit since then. Anyway... I was just curious if anyone has experience with seized goods and what happened...
