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.

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.

蝗國人：「给力奶粉今天到货啦！何其壮观啊！看着房间的奶粉墙相当满足！Leo哥也高兴地呼叫“奶奶，奶奶”！多谢@滚在英国 的辛勤劳动，我拆包装都拆到腰痛，真不知亲你包了多久啊！全5分！继续为我们的口粮奋斗！」

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

奶粉搶不過遊客，香港人活得太失敗了
