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 1.45 in exchange rates, AND I’ve herd that you have to pay
customs tax again once you receive the item!!!!!! PLUS in late summer, ---
SHIPPING IS NO LONGER FREE--- I told you they've gone crazy.
Am I correct, or is LEGO S@H (LEGO Direct) gust messing with Ontario???????
Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
Here’s hoping that the LEGO Wookies disembowel the S@H (LEGO Direct) evil
empire…
I remain,
Richard

| (...) 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 (...)
