Canadian Orders

Circuit · #1 Thu, July 23rd, 2009, 08:12 AM

Ordered this morning with 87 perf and 93 perf customs.

I was going to order in the next 4 weeks but the birthday sale prompted me to act now.

Looks like my timing is good for custom tunes too since they are just getting caught up.

Happy birthday Corey and I am sure I will enjoy my present.

So now the waiting begins...

It has been over 2 days since I sent the email and form. Is it normal to not get some kind of confirmation of them receiving the order at least?

I only ask because I am kind of nervious about having my credit card number out there in a pdf and just would like some kind of assurance that it went to the right place.

Thanks for the confirmation. I feel much better now.

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.

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...

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.

What a wonderfully positive attitude!

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!

I wonder why they would charge me taxes and not you? Must be that I live in a so called "have province" so they figure I must be rich and need to give more money to the government.

Still not complaining. I still can't seem to wipe this silly smile off my face every time I get to drive my truck.

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.
