I sent them an email regarding shipping to the US and this is all they said:

Yes we do ship to US. If your order goes over $400 i can do free shipping.

Dave

 

[Dave VG]

Well that answer does us no good.

 

[oceanparadise1]

lol looks like we are all gonna have to get over 400 dollars worth then we dont have to worry about it!

 

[fatrip]

free shipping or not you will still need to pay customs and importation taxes. but it is worth a shot to test the waters. im willing to by a piece or 2.

 

[Piazzon12]

that may be why free shipping to the US comes at $400 instead of the $200 the site claims

 

[fatrip]

but the importation tax doesnt go to them it is payed by the customer. also customs has the right to hold the package for as long as they want. if they guy doesnt send the correct forms it will sit at customs until he does. idk after thinking about it a bit and seeing a package we just shipped yesterday sit at the canadian boarder because some one forgot to check the right boxes on a form, i dont think i will be going in on this order if it does happen.

 

[daveverdo]

I also asked if the prices were Canadian or US dollars and they didn't respond to that (although these days there isn't much difference).

Maybe each of us could ask them a different question and we might be able to piece together a complete set of answers

In many cases (FedEx, UPS) the customs process is dealt with before the plane leaves the ground. The package is inspected by US Customs at the departure point, sealed, and electronic shipping information is sent the receiving customs location for approval before the shipment actually leaves. Of course there is always the possiblility of a problem.

well that is nice when it is said on paper any ways...lol...we deal with ups daily shipping wolrd wide. packages get held on both ends either it be shipping as well as on the destination end. we have also had problems with customers having to pay certian taxes that were not charged from UPS. it isnt as black and white as they print on the net.

as well as expidited packages which were supposed to be delivered next day that had been held up in customs for a day or 2 for no reason at all.
