Question about ordering from US
I'm tempted to buy some BumGenius online. There's a sale that comes to $14 per diaper and shipping to Canada is $15. But, I'm wondering what kind of duty I'm looking at for either a $100 or $200 order. Any idea?
Re: Question about ordering from US
Could be very very scary. My mom paid 2.5 times the price for a few of DD's birthday gifts.
One option... I've had stuff sent to a friend in the States... which she reshipped to me as a 'gift'. (I wasn't intentionally trying to avoid duty et al... The company just didn't ship to Canada.)
This. Duty is a tonne! The least amount I have paid in duty, for an item in the mail, is 25% of the cost. Some I have paid double for.
You'd have better luck to drive over to the store and bring it back yourself. Every time I have done that, and mentioned it was for a baby, they have waved me across.
The best way to go is to ship to someone in the US and have them reship as a gift with a $20 value.
You just never know if you'll get caught on the duty or not, we find it pretty hit and miss when A orders from eBay.
I've paid about $80 in duty for a $200 order from the States, other times I've paid nothing, it really is hit and miss.
