anyone have an approximate of what a purchase of 989 would cost in duty and all that other crap getting from the US?

 

on what purchase?
is it made in the usa ?
is it under nafta ?
who is shipping it ?

 

from which shipping company?

14% tax for sure

 

Well It'd be 2 Fi BTL 12s.

I assume they are crafted by the guys there, (so made in the usa, using chinese parts or no o0 )

And with my luck UPS would ship it /Hate ups.

 

Get Fi to ship USPS. That's how my 15" BL came. Paid the $5 handling charge and the taxes. I have another BL coming and it should be coming USPS as well.

 

The shipper is what can kill you. If it's UPS be ready to fork over the big $$'s for their brokerage charges and handling fee's which before tax are around $40ish if I remember from my three bad run in's with them (UPS). If you can have them ship USPS you're much much MUCH better off.

 

This is a idea, instead of dealing with ups for shipping(dont trust them on that kind of item if it was mine) Try to find a trucking company that ships to the states and canada. I worked for a transport company, and it mostly delt with oil industry stuff. But over the year i worked for them, we shipped 6 dirt bikes and 3 sleds and a bunch of older and newer cars.

 

meyers and day&ross are excellent for that

 

Id look into that if it was a highly repetitive thing, but the time it would take me to find a company, and then one thats somewhere near where i am, and goes to a place in the usa could be a pita.

 

i forget the name of the town 45 mins south from you in the US. They have a UPS store, you have to shipped to there, drive down pick it up. You only pay GST when coming across the border when you declare it...you owe me a beer of this one...
