Shipping was quick and I didn't have to pay any additional taxes or duty.Has anyone ordered brushes online to Canada? If so - how was shipping (cost, length of time) and were you charged additional duty fees? Thanks!
There are a couple of factors that impact on whether you will be subject to additional charges at delivery (in my experience); some shippers (like UPS) always charge brokerage fees so I won't buy from any supplier that won't use USPS to ship to Canada. The USPS doesn't charge fees, but it's up to Canadian customs to determine whether HST will apply; they don't usually bother under a stated value of about $50 or so. I've been lucky with higher amounts occasionally, but you can't count on it. If Customs decides that taxes are due, the package needs to be picked up at the Post Office and there's an additional $5 fee for gathering/remitting the taxes to Canada Revenue Agency.
