All others may as well DELETE now. Sorry. I just noticed on a recent shipment that our customs department is charging me 7% GST and 7.5% PST on the Canadian dollar equivelant of the total cost of the shipment. This includes the freight charge. What a burn. Can some one who has recently gotten a large kit shipment from Van or Mark have a look at your Canada Customs Postal Import Form (the grey slip you have to pay on arrival) and let us know if you had to pay Canadian taxes on American freight charges too? If so, it would seem to me that a Canadian could save quite a few dollars over the course of the whole project by insisting at time of order to pay the shipping separately, perhaps by credit card over the phone. Have the shipper send your freight charge receipt by post in a reg sized envelope and let the large shipment arrive with the accurate cost of the parts enclosed. Is this legal? Would it work? Things that make you go hmmm...... Do not archive
