I come from Canada, I'm just wondering if it's possible for me to buy lighters or other similar items from other country? just wondering for the boarder, don't want to have any problems

 

Thank you 😉

Lighters?  As in filled with lighter fluid?  You might find those are on Canada Post's no-no list:

since it is considered a Combustible item:

I'm sure lots of people do it but if your lighters or other similarly flammable items get stopped at the border you won't get your item or your money back and you'll have no one to blame but yourself.
