Shipping from Canada


I've never purchased anything from Canada and am strongly considering it. Besides normal shipping, are there any importing fees from customs, or other hidden fees, etc when having items shipped from Canada? How about when items are shipped from China?

Does anyone have experience receiving items from Canada or China? Thanks

I have bought many items from our friends to the North and have never had any problems other than a package being held up at customs for an extra day or so. No worries and no taxes.
Canada Post is SLOW. The good part is that duties/fees only apply when shipping to CA.
China is at your own risk.
No problem ordering from Canada. Their mail is slower than the US, but from Toronto to the US border sometimes only takes one day. (and then thru customs). Such nice people up there, eh?
