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)

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)

Anyone willing to take Lego shipments and re-ship them to Ontario for a small premium? Or is there any places eg. Mailboxes etc. that will do (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.loc.ca)

| | | | | (...) Ahh, I'm in BC so that's probably why I only have the 7% GST. (...) Honestly, I don't think it's worth the effort because the cost of shipping from BC (for example) to Ontario might be equal to or more than the price you get charged for PST. (...)

I can't think of any reason why some provinces would have (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jun-04, to lugnet.loc.ca)
