[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dimastep Well, I am in Ontario and last I checked on CCRA they charge GST and PST on all purchases, plus 5 dollar duty fee. So they don't give me parcel unless I pay first. [/quote] The $5.00 is not duty, it's the Post Office's fee for collecting the tax. It isn't that bad when you consider parcels sent by UPS - they charge around $35.00 to process your tax. That's why you should never accept an order being sent by UPS. As to the Trainworld $25.00 shipping charge to Canada, I imagine its this high because they have to take the parcel to the US Post Office to be mailed. If they used UPS, the parcel would be picked up at their shop. So you gotta pay for someone to take it to the P.O. Sharing orders from Trainworld is one way of saving on the shipping costs. $25.00 divided by four is cheaper than paying it all yourself! Bob Boudreau
