Hi, just wondering how many Canadian Sideshow collectors there are on this board. I live on the beautiful Canadian west coast. Where do you get your SS statues from? Comics stores in my area rarely carry SS statues.

There's are a number of authorized dealers on SSC's website

- I called CHW Distribution once, but they charge full price + tax -- so unfortunately, ebay is usually cheaper. (Shipping to Vancouver from Alberta may not be as much as across the border - but its still shipping).They do carry everything though, and will order in items for you if you request it.
I personally order direct because I love the exclusives.
I order directly from SS because there are 0 retailers in my area. There is one
online that occasionally cares SS stuff but never Exclusives. I hate having to pay the duties etc.
Proud but displaced Canadian here.

Are the duty charges just the PST and GST? I usually only buy from Canadian sellers on eBay.
On1/6 items it usually is gst pst and fed fee totally about 16.00 CanadianAre the duty charges just the PST and GST? I usually only buy from Canadian sellers on eBay.
On1/6 items it usually is gst pst and fed fee totally about 16.00 Canadian
but the shipping with brokerage included from SS is usually about 30.00US.
If I buy a Pf it is 45 to 85 Canadian after shipping and brokerage.
So I don't buy very many PF's because of that.
One day I hope SS has a Canadian warehouse.
Is it true that Sideshow ships to Canada using UPS? UPS has ridiculous brokerage fees.
I found the answer to my question on Sideshows website. Now I can breath a sigh of relief.
Sideshow chooses to ship all Canadian packages via FedEx International Economy Air. Economy Air Service will provide quicker delivery than the previous ground service - in most cases allowing our customers to receive their packages 3 or 4 days sooner. Canadian customers will also be able to track their packages via the FedEx web site. Customers can call FedEx directly to inquire about the additional Canadian duties and taxes, such as the GST, PST and / or HST, that are to be collected at the time of the package delivery.
Ya but isn't it like $30 shipping from the Sideshow site to Canada?
