so my si cage comes in and the delivery company wont give me my cage until i pay a cod fee of 90 bux. they tell me theres a broker fee and duty to get things across the border so ******* gay. all u other canadians where do u buy your **** from so i dont run into this problem next time i wanna buy stuff for my bike. i know i wont be buying from sickinnovations

 

it's not sickinnovations fault.... it's the stupid canadian customs that's to blame.

 

**** thats sucks ***

 

+1..

 

Parts Canada ?

 

i have got stuff from canada and never paid any crazy shipping??

 

ya i got dinged with my cage as well.. what i do is look for private sellers and get them to ship as a gift so i pay no duty what so ever.. eitehr look for a company that will ship as a gift or a private sale of parts..

 

Haha its Canada's fault

 

i just shipped durty an OMR SUBCAGE and there was no duty charge

 

unless you send it and write gift in the box there will be. but its not s.i.'s fault that you have to pay duty on ****. roger you would not have to pay the duty durty would.

 

i put $175 in the value box and did not send it as a gift and he didn't have to pay a duty , i think certain things throw up a red flag for customs although i don't know what those things are......

 

+1 Next time ask for the sender to write gift and also write down a value under $60.00 so you don’t get raped on country/duty taxes some countries charge based on the value of the item.

 

I was just wondering what you guys thought would be the best crash cage to buy? What is the best site you guys have found as well to get stunt parts from?

 

It's your fault for being a canuck, not sick innovations.

 

sick innovations

 

do you know of any sites that are cheap or is everyone just about the same price?

 

Just like a few others have already said...

If you want it duty-free, you need to get the sender to put a low value on the item (and mark it as a gift). The drawback to this is that the sender can't insure it for $200 if he puts $15 as the value. You take a risk doing this, but it can save you quite a bit on taxes when you receive it.

 

Riiiiight. That's because you live in another country guy.

That seems a little harsh.

Sick burn.

 

yes again not SI's fault....



Blame Canada
