You suggested being a greedy asshole, then continue with you're not like that, you won't even help friends n fam buy regular goods, which is an asshole move as they'd be forced to buy said goods from a reseller

Maybe you don't have relatives from China asking to buy stuff for them (that's very lucky) but they don't just ask you to buy am item or two they actually send you a list of what they want from stuff to skin care products, Canada goose, jewelry, luxury brands. If you do it once they expect you to do it every time. Oh and the list is most likely going to take a whole suite case and went over your limit you can bring back to China without paying a duty.
If you are caught and have to pay duty they won't pay for that and some relatives would assume they don't need to pay you back since they assume we are all well off in Canada.
Just ask skinny he knows too well about it. Is just best to tell them you aren't helping them right off the bat to a avoid any unhappy feelings down the road. Beside when I travel I do not want to carry more luggage than I have to.
