I have seen many mainlander (can tell by their accent) stocking up formula in Metrotown Superstore...

Well...I got some formula from amazon...I guess if mainlanders flooded here to start stocking up, we still got a choice to order online from the States.

Shoppers want 'American-only' hours at Costco!

NEED TO KNOW

U.S. residents complain about influx of Canadians at border Costco
Canadians seem hot for two items: Milk and gas
How far would you go to snag a good deal?

We’d all do just about anything to save a buck, right? And for Canadians near Bellingham, Washington, that means crossing the border and snagging some pretty great deals at the local Costco. Add the weak American dollar to the store’s awesome prices and there are some deals that are hard to resist.
But American shoppers aren’t too happy about the influx of Canadians in their neighborhood store. They’ve launched a Facebook page with over 3,000 likes so far, calling for their own special time to shop.
Canadians say Americans would be doing the same for similar deals in their country and they're quick to point out that they’re flooding the American economy with money and jobs.
But Americans are complaining about and posting pictures of crowed parking lots, ridiculous lines at the gas station and checkout lines that go halfway down the store.
Video also shows people snatching up gallons of milk as soon as they’re unwrapped from pallets. One commenter calls it “milk madness.” Another suggests putting in a “milk drive thru just for Canadians.”
HLN affiliate KIRO says the store goes through about two semi-trucks of milk each day. It’s a great deal for Canadians who say they’re basically able to get two for the price of one.
The drive for these deal-seekers isn’t so bad, either: the Vancouver suburbs are only about 25 minutes away but others are traveling up to an hour to get to the warehouse club, according to KIRO.
A senior VP for Costco told CBC News that the store isn’t looking to change its policy and a spokesperson says they’d love to expand.
How far would you drive to get a good deal and what items would make it worth the journey?

水貨客 in HK = Resell and make money
Canadian @ US Costco = A real shopper who is looking for cheaper price

水貨客 in HK = messing up the whole damn city in HK, the whole city has milk shortages
Canadian @ US Costco = only affecting a few towns in US, US still has milk to sell.

作者: yungfourfour 時間: 2013-1-25 08:49

to be honest a lot of people made the assumption that 水貨客=mainlander, which is actually untrue. A lot of Hong Kong citizens do the same to make profit. The best policy (luggage limit across the border/ train station) by far is already in place, they just need to really reinforce the rule. Plan B is to have all milk powder manufacturing company to print 平反六四 on the can, then I bet nothing will get across the border. Period

你都幾好笑，有好多美國local家庭或者小商戶都去costco買奶，你住嗰區冇奶就冇得飲冇得做生意㗎啦，唔通bellingham嘅居民會去到加州買奶呀？

I don't think your idea about printing the 平反六四 to those cans would work but your idea is very interesting

Yes, this is just my point. I don't think people in Bellingham will have milk shortages problem. They just don't like to see so many Canadian shopping at their town.

But in HK situation, you can't find a can of milk for their hungry babies. If you are a parent, you will understand how important to have enough milk at home all the time.

唔當然唔係話香港問題不存在啦，我只係想其實呢啲事情，嚴重與否，喺其他地方都有發生。

香港嚴重性强啲都唔代表bellingham嘅居民唔係面對緊困擾。唔洗樣樣嘢非黑即白。

As a Canadian myself, I know I would not do the same to hurt our American neighbour. It only save a few bucks to buy milk and it took a lot of effort to drive and cross the border, plus, I don't think my fridge is big enough to store 5, 6 big carton of milk...

From web:

問：為何大陸人唔直接從外國一箱箱訂貨，卻要人手帶奶粉過關呢？點解要畀香港的零售賺呀？

答：因為中國有關稅，之前的對嬰兒奶粉的關稅係 20%，由 2013 年 1 月 1 號起開始，部份就降到 15%，道理就係咁簡單－－所謂「水貨客」根本名不符實，實際上係「走私客」，正如走私煙一樣

問：難道大陸冇限制每人帶幾多罐奶粉入境嗎？為何可以幾十箱咁運？
答：目前大陸海關限制每人帶四至六罐「自用」奶粉入境，如非自用或超過此數，將被認為係走私，將可能被充公或徵收重稅，而走私客可以如此猖獗狂運幾十箱過關，這明顯是跨境的犯罪。

問：走私有沒有犯法？
答：政府如果有心對付走私客，有如對付反政府的示威者般，例如集結就己經構成甚麼「在公眾地方內擾亂秩序行為罪」，違法入境條件等等，政府完全唔執法；至於走私一向係跨境執法，例如走私電器、電子零件等，本身在香港也屬於自由進出唔收稅的項目，香港海關卻同樣會執法打擊，可是如今海關卻無所事事不作為

對於那些認同「一國」的中國人來說，中國海關因為走私奶粉的行為損失大量的關稅，全部都是中國政府的收入，為何那些自認是中國人對有人逃稅認為是合法？

結論：如果說中國人非買外國奶粉不可，為何沒有中國人要求廢除奶粉關稅？如果中國廢除關稅，走私奶粉的巨利就不會淪入走私集團之手，也不會影響全地球的奶粉供應，中國政府明知而無所作為，中國人民也完全對政府的惡行不作一聲，只會成為不義政策的幫兇，去騷擾全地球的其他人，令人失望

From apple online news, some "water goods" people are willing to pay whatever they sell +$40hkd per can. I dont know how much they sell in China, but if I am the parents from mainland China, I'd rather buy the baby formula produced from other countries for my kids even though they charge much higher than the local baby formula

Exactly, from a mother's perspective I totally understand why mainlanders hoard formula milk (not just HK, all over the world indeed). And talking about "shortage", IMO its more likely caused by the supplier/ supermarket holding it up from the shelf - When you see these people transporting loads of formula milk CONTINUOUSLY the shortage is just BS

我都覺得幾離譜，有啲藥房話一星期入得十幾罐，一日都賣晒。

我心諗，出呢啲奶粉嘅廠商會唔會有錢唔賺呀？奶粉又有幾難生產？個市場一直渴求，冇理由供貨咁困難。

I can understand people need milk powder sometimes, i.e.: when mom is on long business trip .. serious illness .. on drug .. or the mom is dead etc .. also .. when a baby is 5/6 month, will start eating, and around 9 month, can drink normal milk, which can buy anywhere ..

So .. why flight for Milk Powder with mainland people? I can understand IPHONE .. HK people buy them, then flip to China for profit ..

(same question, I dont understand why China people crave for milk powder that much .. but their culture is weird too .. even SALT .. will buy tons and tons ..

just to get enough milk supply is a super painful process (lucky if your wife went through smoothly).

仲有就係餵人奶嘅時期好易漏奶，成日又漲住痛。。。一句講哂就辛苦啦。

The recommendation for homo milk is 1 year old...not 9 month wor...
and in HK (or China too) they believe they should have formula even till like 2 (so that's why the stage 2 or 3 formula also in hot demand). I barely find stage 2 formula here...

作者: zoids 時間: 2013-2-1 21:27

I say let them have it all... http://www.csmonitor.com/Busines ... er-death-of-newborn

The reason why they don't have enough baby formula was due to their stupidity anyways to only buying "name brand" that is not even that good anyways. Just like medicine, regulation forced them to have exact ingredient 95% of the time. So if they want to spend more $ to make themselves feel better. Go ahead.
