Another bonus from shopping at S@H is that we don't hafta pay a provincial sales

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 reason why you can order anything you want from
S@H and not have to pay anything crossing the border is because S@H has
already charged it in advance.
