I'm looking to find people from Canada here who are big sellers. I'm tired of paying an extra 40$ each time I buy something from the States due to Customs.

[prhockey41]

yeah there might be a few on here

[Nero]

Everyone I find that has something I like is from US :/

[thinkingjack]

[Dupes]

A lot of sellers here are in Canada

What kind of stuff are you looking for?

[BigCy76]

He didn't mean the seller, he meant customs.

 

What exactly are you looking for young padawan ?

 

There's a guy here called Bakerboy, you might want to PM him...

Singling ppl out who are Canadian won't solve issues. We all go though it. Us also get their shipping priced up. An extra 40? I think you mean 20. Still cost me 15-20 to ship gloves to Quebec and I'm 2 provinces over that all. If you want something that bad you will learn to pay for it.

This question you have is only good for stores which you can find out for yourself.

bakerboy

doesn't he include the extra $$ in his prices so you don't "see" it. ? {jk}

[Grizzly]

There are probably more Canadian members on here than US

[skleiner1]

I'm from Canada!

I don't know what we're talking about exactly but shipping is hella expensive no matter what, plus customs!

[Scdp99]

Plus one

[akaSmall_Kitten]

The guy wants to buy stuff from somebody located in Canada so he doesn't have to pay customs/duties .....

Where's all this shipping prices and comparing talk coming from ??

Hummer, when I got the TotalONE Canada Post told me it was 60$. I had to split it a 100$ for it -.-

[Nero]

Sorry for my poor choice of words everyone well what I meant was whenever I would receive the package from an American/Out of the Country seller at my door or pick it up at Canada Post, I'd ALWAYS have to pay 40-50$ (average) from like Customs or whatever they call it. Each time I bought from a Canadian, this would never of
happened.

Everyone asking for what I need:
-Full set of Jofa (Shouldies/Shinnys/Elbow)
-Kreps Curve Sticks LH 85
-Black and White X60/CL Mitts 14"


This is coming from someone who works at Putting Edge and is getting payed under minimum wage. So that extra 40$ is an extra 4-5 hours of work and I only work 2-3 times a week so it's a lot!

If the package is coming from the States, ask the seller to mark it as a gift and write a lower value on the customs form. Some will, some won't. If they won't, you have to decide whether it's worth the additional fees or not.

Another option is having the package sent to a third party in the States who will mark it as gift, a lower value, and/or repackage it to make it as cheap as possible.

Best of luck buddy. Hopefully you find some people who can help you out.

[skleiner1]

Jake (guy above) always ships me stuff and I've never had to pay for customs, in fact I've only ever paid for customs on anything once... Think you address might be flagged or they're not marking it as gifts and low value stuff!

[Obscene19]

Bought something from jake as well and didn't pay customs. Also bought pants from hockey monkey and never paid customs.

Like he said ask to have it marked as gift and youll never pay fees.

[akaSmall_Kitten]

He's obviously not buying from people he knows , so more than likely (obviously) the sellers are
Marking it full value for insurance purposes ....
