......It feels like it never ends!:msp_sad:
The average Canadian works from January 1st to July 1st just to pay their taxes....
Just to make things clear , I clicked on the "Like" button but not because I "Like" the statement .........
I've had Schenker handle a few large orders from the US coming to Canada , reasonable rate on large items , one phone call and it was handled , I was my own broker so that was done at no cost , I'm not sure if they only want buisness customers .
The last multiple order I got from the US I let UPS do it , the brokerage fee was a percentage of the value of the order , close enought value to what my time was worth to me to have to deal with CBSA so I paid UPS .
One small item at a time will only be worth buying cross border unless it is a high dollar item or very light or you are there .
Ironic that I can buy stuff from Turkey , Mongolia , China etc and have it show up at my door for cheap in a week with free shipping and can't send it to the next province let alone the US for less than what 5 of what I recieved cost .
Having said all that , if someone has ten 70cc+ saws that they want to give me as a test , we'll ship with UPS and I'll pay all brokerake and shipping charges to see what it all works out to here in Canada or if we want to know what one saw costs , I'll pay for the Emu to send 2 saws up here to see if a ported saw costs more than a regular saw .
