Thanks everyone,

Lots of great thoughts. Since this isn't a common issue I really don't care about it very much. If this happened often I would be concerned. And not just in this cigar business. So I'm glad I didn't hear that this happens often.

There are lots of options for me. It's no problem at all. I can have them shipped right to my door if I like. Or obviously physically pick them up in Chicago. Or other retailers will take the order as I planned it. And the retailer has there own options as well of course. Some of the points brought up here enlightened me a little. I had no intentions of fraud or anything. And we are allowed to bring back 50 cigars each duty free, so that isn't an issue either. It perfectly legal. But that's a good point I think.

But still, the truth is that millions of people are doing cross border commerce, something like half a trillion dollars per year. So it's a bit ignorant to assume something fishy. Also the slight fees might be a cross border concern, but I think maybe a tiny one, Still not sure on that. It was probably just a lazy rep. Or more likely an ignorant one.
