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. :cursin: banker's hours...
I am sure it will be worth the wait! |
Arrived today :cheesy smile: but it's at the post office.:twitch: 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. :2thumbs: |

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. :thumbs up yellow: Now...how to convice work that I need to leave early enough to get to the post office before it closes today. :evillol: Off to work... |
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. Quote:
I made it to the post office with 10 minutes to spare. :happy-dancing: Just unpacked it so now it's time to get all the pre-install stuff done and play! :evillol: Added: 0-60 : 9.12 seconds in a 3000 lbs truck on level 2... I am :cheesy smile: |

I ask because in the US those trucks are 5200 to 5700 Lbs. :hehe: :whistle1: |

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. :shrug: That is over 2.5 tons so now I am really impressed. :cheesy smile: BTW... I have a problem now trying not to spin the tires when I take off! :smiley_roll1: I also bought the pipe today so I will break out the power sander to do the Gott's mod tomorrow morning. :redspotdance: |
I am in Kelowna B.C.Took about 4 days and NO extra costs.

Still not complaining. I still can't seem to wipe this silly smile off my face every time I get to drive my truck. :cheesy smile: |
Just so everyone is aware, we are negotiating with a couple companies in Canada to distribute for us. This would make things a zillion times easier for our Canadian customers as they will have much less of a problem with both ordering and support.
As soon as we get details ironed out, we'll let everyone know. :D |

I looked around my area and priced out an Edge Evolution and they are in the ball park of $525 CND plus tax (approx. $590 total) . In the end I paid around $570 CND TOTAL for the Gryphon and that includes two custom tunes, ODBII port cover, and all the other extras we get from PHP. (such as truely interactive support) :thumbs up yellow: I have to say that I really had no problems what so ever with ordering and receiving mine in the mail the way it is now. Having to pay the taxes at the boarder... well... taxes are a way of life up here in Canada so it was no surprise. As for support. I did my research before orderng. There is so much information out there through this and other forums. I knew what I was getting and I knew how to use it and read through people's problems and solutions before I even had it in my hands. I downloaded the manual from your site before I ordered. I had the client installed when I ordered. I am the type of person who likes to know how and why it works. I am a bit OCD when it comes to technology... :notallthere: My truck is experiencing it's new life as a sports truck. :3gears: My whole experience has been :2thumbs: Once I get my custom tunes I am sure I'll need a third thumb to put up somehow. :cheesy smile: |
