(...) Well, having the prices in US currency was great when the Canadian dollar was strong. :) I think it's levelled off a bit now. Another bonus from shopping at S@H is that we don't hafta pay a provincial sales tax (7.5% here in BC). But thanks (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jun-04, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Uh yes you do. S@H applies the taxes right on your invoice (PST+GST or HST as appropriate). You can't escape that. If S@H didn't charge taxes at the origin then Canada Customs would charge it at the border, plus add a $5 service fee. The (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) If that is true, then there is something seriously messed up. Since LEGO is not made in Canada, all provinces should have to pay full taxes as if it were bought in their home province. I can't think of any reason why some provinces would have (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jun-04, to lugnet.loc.ca)
