Duty Free in Vancouver

[jerhardt]

A story is running in the local paper here in Vancouver indicating that several duty free shops have closed 'temporarily' due to restrictions imposed by Transport Canada (because of recent events in Britian).

 

So, anyone wishing for duty free might be out of luck leaving YVR. I know that they are still offering duty free on the ships/airlines, but with duty free on the ship you have to pack it in your suitcase and hope it doesn't break.

 

Just a heads up.

closed-even the ones downtown. No word as to when they will reopen.

Apparently they are re-opening at midnight tonight! It was on the 6:00 news earlier today.
