  Canadians ordered UCS from S@H?
 
Anyone ordered the UCS X-Wing from S@H (LEGO Direct) in Canada yet? If so, please tell me what the total cost was in Canadian dollars and break it down for me (i.e. price, tax, duty, brokerage fees, etc.) I am getting itchy for it and can't wait too (...)

(...) There is no duty or anything like that. If you are in Canada just order it. It's US Price + 7%GST=total That's all you pay. Dean (He who buys the most, spends the most) -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (24 years ago, 6-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Don't do it, be strong, hold-out. Buy the item in a retail store. I love LEGO, but their 'evil' counterpart S@H (LEGO Direct) is corrupt. Ever since they moved from Missagua, Ontario, you now have to pay $2.00 customs fee, AND they charge you (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.starwars)

(...) They have yet to charge me a customs fee. Also 1.45 exchange is better than 1.50 at the banks. What's this about shipping?!?!?!? Who is your source? Will this also affect US clients? My last order had shipping on it by reasons of a computer (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.ca)
 
  Re: Canadians ordered UCS from S@H?
 
(...) You DON't pay customs tax again when you receive the item: there is NO DUTY on construction toys like Lego. What you do pay is GST (to Lego) and the 2.00 they charge you to collect it is less than the 5.00 Canada Post would charge you to (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Gee Richard, why don't you tell us how you really feel? (...) A $2.00 fee is less than Canada Customs charges for brokerage ($5.00) and far far less than some other companies (UPS, for example, will typically run you up a $30 to $40 brokerage (...)

  Re: Canadians ordered UCS from S@H?
 
(...) The sad point you guys are all missing is the fact that LEGO S&H MOVED to the US. Telling us Nothing would change. Then we saw that the prices inched up as US exchange and whatnot forced the prices higher. Now we see that the Shipping is no (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.ca)
