i ordered a shock from elka suspension in canada. the technician took my information (weight with & without gear, riding style etc.) then he asked me for my social security number. SAY WHAT. he said it was necessary for customs purposes. has anyone heard of this? any customs people here?

I'm curious what your discovery was. I've shipped and received international before and never once was asked for my SSN.

So my initial reaction to your post is 'Bull. Sheezy."...but, was there an extrenuating circumstance?
