You pay brokerage fees and Canadian taxes on packages that are sent from US stores, for example Mobile City Online. You do not pay taxes on their site, you pay them when the package arrive (use USPS/Canada Post for a much lower brokerage fee).

For Canadian stores (like newegg.ca, even though they're shipping from the US), you pay the PST and GST directly on the site when you order, so you won't have any surprise charge at arrival.

Some people were saying that express was more expensive but in the end you might pay less cause it includes brokerage fees.



Well, MCO is right now on Back-order...

Here it was 579.99 but took the 60$ express shipping ... so 640 $ USD.

Do you think i can sell my 50$ Nokia's rebate to someone in the states?
(for 40?)

Btw, i see a lot of Montrealers here, we could gather in the other thread.
