Hello,
I have looked for an answer to this. I'd like to know what the probability of getting import fees are when shipping to Canada from Sideshow, which is located in the US. Are there any Canadians with experience of buying from Sideshow? I ask because it's not worth buying the figurine if I have to pay the 15% taxes here (Québec) on top of up to 20% administrative fees and stuff.
I've also read that you have a greater chance of getting import fees if the mail carrier is FedEx as opposed to other carriers. Sideshow uses both FedEx and UPS and I hesitate to ask them to choose USP when sending me the package. But will that make a difference? If there's a chance I won't get import fees, I might risk it. But if someone has experience and tells me it's 100% sure I'll have to pay import fees, I'm going to cancel my pre-order.
The product has been shipped from China (Hong Kong?) to the US. I still have some time (a few weeks at most) to make my decision. But I absolutely have to do it soon.
Any canadians have experience? Thanks!
