So there was customs charges on the SD according to Canada Post. The amount was $106.00 which is fine by me!

kingblackbolt · 13 January 2007, 02:00 AM

Not too shabby really considering the value? Now where are the pics buddy?

roadcarver · 13 January 2007, 02:05 AM

I haven't checked my mailbox yet. According to Canada Post it is in the delivery office so I'll find out tonight when I get home.

kingblackbolt · 13 January 2007, 02:12 AM

Nice... congrats buddy you have your grail! ENJOY!

RogerF · 13 January 2007, 04:02 AM

JJ Irani · 13 January 2007, 04:04 AM

Hi Vernon,

Hey JJ,

Reasonable, indeed! I was cringing when the post office was about to blurt out the amount.

What was the declared value?

roadcarver · 13 January 2007, 12:08 PM

The declared value was $600, and described as clock parts.

Ah that would explain that then! They must not have actually opened the box and checked the contents as your "clock parts" would have looked a lot like an SD! That method worked out prety good for you, Nice job!

I still like my mail service just over the border, drive over, pay $5 to pick it up, wear the watch back over the borer and then either ship yourself the empty box/papers or smuggle it over if you want to risk it... just DON'T GET CAUGHT!

kingblackbolt · 13 January 2007, 12:36 PM

Vernon,
I guess you'll have to update your avatar pic as well eh?

Well that sucks for my $13,000 purchase.

roadcarver · 13 January 2007, 11:30 PM

Its a risk that I took. With the declared and insured value of $600, if it got stolen or damaged, I'll only get $600 back.

However, I find that USPS is very reliable hence I took the chance.

Did you get dinged for duties on your 13K purchase?

It's not a matter of "dinged," it is not a traffic tickets where I did wrong, it is a tax. I travel on a red passport and that should exempt me. I will let you know next week.

i'm sorry but did you just state that you have to pay $100 tax for a $600 purchase?? thats anal

roadcarver · 14 January 2007, 02:51 AM

Yup, it comprises of customs duties, goods and services taxes, provincial taxes and handling fee.

However since it is for the SD, its very doable.
