Ordered last Thrusday, invoiced Monday, and got the tracking info today. I will keep looking in my mailbox for the card to tell me to pick it up... unfortunately I work so many hours that I can only make it to the post office on Saturday mornings. banker's hours...

I am sure it will be worth the wait!

Arrived today but it's at the post office. I will pick it up tomorrow. It cost me another $64. I will elaborate tomorrow once I have the invoice but I assume it's Ontario sales tax and GST.

I just thought I would update my thread so if any other Canadians want to order they will know what to expect.

Mailed last Friday, accepted (according to USPS) Monday so that is 4 days from Georgia to SW Ontario. Not bad.

Are you serious?!? That's worse than using UPS, which is about $85 with all the added crap they charge at the border. Wow. Sorry it cost you that much. Is every province taxed differently? There's got to be a better way.

I was not complaining. We pay taxes so we don't have to pull out the credit card to go to the hospital and various other things like that.

Every provice is just like every state for you. Each has it's own tax rate except Alberta which is so rich in oil that they have no sales tax. Well not yet anyway.

It will always depend on which province it is sent to. As I said above, I will break it down better when I have the actual receipt from customs.

There is no need to be sorry. It's not like you charged me extra. In fact I got the sale price which ended up essencially making the exchange rate nothing.

Now...how to convice work that I need to leave early enough to get to the post office before it closes today.

Off to work...

Wow! What a wonderfully positive attitude! I just feel bad that it costs our Canadian friends so much in shipping.

It was as I suspected. It was GST (Federal tax) and PST (Provicial tax) that was the $64 based on $426 CDN calculated using the current exchange rate for $399 USD. Still not bad. No import or duty fees.

If we don't pay the government their share they get cranky.

Must be the Canadian comming out in me eh!

I made it to the post office with 10 minutes to spare. Just unpacked it so now it's time to get all the pre-install stuff done and play!

3000 Lbs? Is that in Canadian Lbs?

I ask because in the US those trucks are 5200 to 5700 Lbs.

I have never had my truck on a scale yet so was going on what I thought someone posted somewhere that that was the weight.

That is over 2.5 tons so now I am really impressed.

BTW... I have a problem now trying not to spin the tires when I take off!

I also bought the pipe today so I will break out the power sander to do the Gott's mod tomorrow morning.
