this is 2nd gen specific cuz i own one & am buying something from the states for it :
-------------------------------

a friend of mine was told by a UPS man that if you do express mail (2 day or less) you can get past customs when ordering from the states.

Jason @ rx7store.net said you can get past customs but will still be tagged with customs charges.


So do I spend the extra money on express mail in HOPES to slip past customs, or go normal mail & get tagged?

also, how much do they get you for? 13%?

 

why didn't you post this in the canada section??

unless the item is under like $30 you will pay gst, pst, and brokerage
DO NOT USE UPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they will rape you in brokerage fees.

Use USPS.

the last 4 times I didn't pay anything with USPS.... not sure why. but not complaning

 

if u really want a courier get fedex... they are aleats somewhat decent.

or get a boat

 

Or hide the **** in your trunk and go get it. Hey cheers, are those stock s5 TII/GTUs rims on that car?

 

i DID put it in the CDN forum, cept it isn't as busy as this forum is

 

Do they charge you insane ammounts if you get it shipped as a 'gift'?

 

no you pay nothing but it has to be under $25-30

 

wat if it's an expensive gift?!?!

damn Canadians....

 

Its your country, you do have a choice.....

 

ya those are the stock s5 tii rims.
i painted the centre caps a shade of silver to match the rims
