GRG Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) For all the fellow Canadians who have purchased LOR equipment and had it shipped to Canada, can you remember how bad the duty/brokerage fees were? Exchange rate is easy enough to factor in, but wondering about the other "associated" costs. Edited February 7, 2018 by GRG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Martin Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 When I bough some approx. ($650.00) it was around $70.00 that was about 5 years ago. I live in Ontario, and a little over 1hour from the boarder so now have a free drop box to have($5.00 to pick up parcel) in the US and just go over and pick it up myself. I is quicker just plan a trip to the US for a shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfrd22 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I dont remember it being too bad. Generally about 5% last time via post. Lor will reach out to you with shipping costs prior to charging you. Go Post. Cheaper in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalMatrix Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 If I correct the S/H includes the brokerage fee but one thing to remember is when its ships that you if you insure it for the cost of the item you may end up paying more as you will have to pay the PST/GST on the insured value. It might be cheaper to have someone who lives close to the border to pick it up for you and then ship it from their location. One good thing about this is if its not too pricy you may not have to pay PST/GST when crossing the boarder. No guarantee on that as it is up to each guard as I ended up not having to pay for two controllers. The first one I had shipped to me in Canada and it was $60 to ship to me in Canada vs $25 to the Box number across the boarder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticks4legs Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I request that they don't ship UPS, their fees are astronomical. It can delays my order a few days but saves $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
