Absolutely - I suspect we would all concur. Perhaps that is going
to be "fixed" when the on-line ordering becomes available.

Another good point. What really bother's me though is this:
" In placing your order, you authorize LEGO Shop at Home to appoint
a Canadian customs broker to act on your behalf to obtain customs
clearance of your merchandise and remit applicable duties AND TAXES
to Revenue Canada. Amounts received by LEGO Direct for duties AND
TAXES are accepted on your behalf, for the broker. " (Emphasis mine)
I know from my last order that they are charging GST on items. This IMO
is totally bogus! The GST applies to purchases made IN CANADA. We're
buying something from the USA, (as evidenced by the customs charge) so
the GST does not apply. We Canadians already know we're taxed more
than anywhere else, so I'll restrain myself from ranting about that. What
I want to know is why is TLC doing Ottawa's dirty work? I can understand
them collecting the duty - it's more efficient for everyone involved - but
why the GST? Ottawa wants to "have it's cake and eat it to" - No surprise
there, but why is TLC in on the scam? Oh - Don't forget the "rubbing salt
in the wound" part - It's all done in US$, so the tax is 150% as much as
it should be, and we also get charged a percentage/fee to convert our pesos.
I didn't say anything earlier because I hoped the new site would be different.

(Who also comments that the new site is just as slow as the old one.)
