Does anyone have any experience with shipping to canada from J&R? How much tax/duties did you have to pay and how much shipping and how long did it take for you to get the package?
Shipping was fast, duties and brokerage fees made my purchase just as expensive as buying local which really sucked.
It was the Shure SRH840's. I bought from JR for $130 (it's over $250 in Canada where I am). I had to pay like $50 shipping and then duties were another $35.

Wait, so, if I want to get a package with no surprise duties and costs at my door, which shipping options do I choose?
Seeing a bunch of differing opinions here....
Subtotal: | $199.99 |
Shipping: | $42.49 |
Canadian Orders Shipping is via UPS Worldwide. Shipping charges include brokerage fees, but do not include any import duties, Goods and Services Tax (GST), or Provincial Sales Tax (PST). A further explanation of taxes can be found here. If you have any questions about these fees, consult your local government import office. | |
Tax: | $0.00 |
Total: | $242.48 |
Most of the courier services have brokerage costs included in the shipping quote, and so you should only have HST or GST/PST plus in some cases taxes related to where the product, or parts of it, were manufactured.
So, USPS only delays it? But once I ordered the SRH840's and they had 30 dollars in duties when they got to my door...
I would like to avoid that in the future if I can. So, all I have to pay - no matter of the shipping choice, is tax?
Sorry.. Still a bit confused..
