Mike Manzara Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Thank you to Mary and the rest of the LOR team. I received my order today in Canada. Only 7 days from door to door by USPS and no extra charges for Customs clearance or brokerage fees. We in Canada can be at a disadvantage with our Customs requirements, often adding as much as 50 per cent to our order. Now with the Canadian dollar almost at par it makes purchasing from the US a good deal. Everything arriced as ordered.
PaulXmas Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Ditto on the service!I got my order yesterday.I took the UPS route.It was a few dollars more but I got a tracking number and it arrived 2 days after being shipped.Only 8 months before I get to see them all in action...
Mike Manzara Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 PaulI used USPS and was provided a tracking number. I tried the tracking number on Canada Post and it told me that my parcel would be delivered today and it was. I was impressed.

I recieved my order the other day in Australia and it could have easily got caught up. But all arrived 2 days earlier then expected and it was well packed. Tested all 8 CCRs and all worked without a problem, good quality and great effects im impressed Anyway I think Mary deserves a break after sending all those orders out after the sale, it would have been bedlam. We need to make sure she is all refreshed for the summer sale.

I was impressed.Were there any "extra" charges?I really avoid buying from the States because of unexpected charges (sometimes more than the item I bought).With LOR I knew upfront what the costs were (except for GST).Very happy but it will be a while before I can test them, I have enough confidince in LOR to assume they will be 100%.
Mike Manzara Posted March 19, 2010 Author Posted March 19, 2010 No extra charges other than the shipping costs. Arrived at my door with no duty and no GST. Electronic kits are not subject to duty. The same with LED lights if the customs documentation states low voltage LED lights. Now with the Canadian dollar almost at par there are some good deals to be had from the US.
