Duty should not be a problem on LEGO. I've bought from USA and Europe (France). When they come through Borderfree, they act as the broker and classify them properly -- duty free. The only charge is GST/PST as in Canada. If you purchase from someone (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.loc.ca)

What sorts of online Toy Stores are there that are Canadian if any? I mean ones that del in Canadian Dollars and are based in Canada and ship from Canada. Actually I'm not really interested just in their LEGO department but also any other toys. (24 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.loc.ca)
