canadian duties

[Iain]

Hey I'm am looking at buying some boards but I don't want to pay a large amount of money at Canadian customs. If there is anybody in Canada who have bought skiboards, could you possibly tell me how much it costs.

thanks

Do not buy from skiboardsuperstore (skiboards.com). They send UPS and the tariffs are ridiculous. Bought some bomber bindings that were 200 with shipping they weighed 4lbs. The customs tax on them was $70.00.

If you are going to order anything. Order from here. Greco marks the price and (gift) .....not at the purchase price, resulting in way lower customs. I bought some EMPs the customs was around 30 dollars.

I have bought various products boards/bags/shirts. The customs has never been over 40 dollars. they weighed quite a bit.

My biggest order was a Backpack, BWPs, Boot bag, shirt. The customs was $37.78. Canada post does the tax by dimensions I think.

Avg. for a mid size set of boards is around $26.00 e.g Tanshoes, BWPs. Larger sets like EMP/Revolt/ALP cost mid 30s (CDN.)

Now is the time to buy stuff too. CDN dollar is high. Not to mention some great deals on boards.

USPS is so much cheaper then UPS you dont really see the difference until you order away from SBOL. I am always one to learn from mistakes. My first time was my last time.
