Yep Same here Jim. SOmeone in Customs on the Rock doesnt seem to know the rules...


OH and isn't that $5.00 Charge for them to open the package and charge us Tax a real joy...Sheesh

P.S
Johanthan check the slip very carefully I thought it was duty as well but it was actually gst/pst plus a $5.00 handling fee. But if it was duty you got hosed for sure. If you look on the back of the Customs form they filed out and attatched to the package there is another form for you to fill out to get the duty refunded so you dont have to go anywhere. But in my experience its a waste of time. Good luck though

I'm tending to spend more and more of my money out of country. I dont know what it is, but Canadian stores(not all of them) take FOREVER just to even get my order ready. One Canadian store keeps giving me the runaround and its been 5 weeks and they still havent even packed my order yet(I wont mention names).

Military Hobbies gets my orders straight but I still have to wait a week just for them to pack and ship 2 bottles of paint and another 3 days for it to arrive at my doorstep.

Pretty soon ALL my orders will be to American stores.
