Customs and Duties to Canada ??

[KnifeEdge]

I live in Toronto Ontario and would like to buy a racquet from TW but am unsure as to whether or not the savings will be outweighed by the duties, and shipping.

In your experience how much does duties/customs and shipping sum up to for shipping to Toronto Ontario Canada ??

no duties any more. just pst + gst + handling fee from Canada Post. If you do order from the US using USPS is a must. UPS and Fedex charge extra fees for "brokerage" assistance to "help" your package get through customs faster. These fees add about $20 on top of the racquet cost. You avoid these fees by using USPS/Canada Post.

With Express Mail, the courier changes here in Montreal to Purolator and there are absolutely no customs with them!

Last year's package was dealt with the dreaded CanadaPost and they charged tax+$8...

I guess as the loonie has been getting stronger recently it is making purchases from the U.S. more attractive to Canucks.
