grillcraft

just orderd my grillgraft in the groupbuy,
now i'm wondering how much i'm gonna get dinged for duty

does anyone have an idea how this works, i sure don't want to end up
paying double,my wife'll kill me

 

Is the groupbuy being shipped in to Canada or is somebody going to be going across to pick it up?

 

when the delivery company stops by for delivery they will tell you what the brokerage fees were on the item. you have to pay the delivery guy or he wont release the item (obviously ).

it all depends on what company is handling the shipping. some are more expensive then others

btw if you pay with cash, have change with you. the drivers do not make change for you

 

In my experience with ordering things internationally, UPS is the worst for brokerage and duty fees.

I always try to get the USPS option. But sometimes it costs more overall just for weight/shipping size with them.

 

thanks guys,I guess the wife won't kill me

 

no its being shipped to Canada by USPS

 

I have found USPS to be the best as far as brokerage goes. I have had a lot less hassles (read: costs) when using them to bring stuff across.

 

just an update, i got my grillcraft grill and bilstein 5100's shipped
via USPS, i paid the shipping fees from the retailer,20 for grill 25 for shocks, and paid nothing when i picked them up at the post office

 

I ordered a grill from Custom Car Grills with the following invoice:
Order Total : $49.99
Shipping : $23.50
Handling : $2.50
Grand Total : $75.99
It was sent via USPS and Canada Post. It was delivered earlier this week w/ no further charges.
