FlyFishin'Jam 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 I have never had any problems with Canada Post except sometimes charging duty/ taxes and what not. Hmm got a few things in the post now, looks like might just take a few extra days. Cheers for the heads-up, saves me sitting by the post box wondering where the postie is or why i am not getting any bills! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimCanuck 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2011 I guess you have never shipped UPS or FedEx or other "commercial" shipping company. Duties for under 100$ is 20$ plus taxes. If you order 100.01$ then it jumps to 30$. If there are more then 4 items in the package, then a additional 4.50$ per item is charged. PLUS HST/GST charges on the value of the goods. I'll take the week to clear Canada Post/USPS and Canada Customs with a 5$ plus HST/GST on the goods any day. Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
