I'm looking at ordering an Ascendant Audio Havoc but I'm wondering if I'm going to be hit with anything when it crosses the border. I'd ordered a used amp for $200 and ended up paying almost $50 worth of fees on it. I just want to know what to expect.

 

depends on who the carrier is, if its sent usps you wont get any brokerage fees, when i ordered from FI i didnt get any extra fee's

 

all i have learned is to stay away from UPS i have been raped like no tomorrow by them... DHL is always pretty good to me, but USPS is the best price wise, but not to many companies ship large items with them...

 

How about taxes?
And from what I understand USPS has standard $5.

 

with dhl i ordered 300 worth of stuff and had to pay 30 when i got it to cover the duty basically... and thats it... anything iv had usps theres never been a charge at the door... i think that 5 is likely included with the original shipping price...

 

didnt pay tax's, the box just came to my door, no extra fee's

 

really what was that you ordered?
And what was the stated value of the product?

 

yeah usps it dont really matter what you order there isnt any extra charge.

 

When I bring woofers in from the US, it usually costs about 5$ per 100$ the bring it in Via DHL. USPS is cheaper and I REFUSE to use UPS!

 

My package from Fi showed up free of charges as well. It came via USPS
