Yes, I think I paid $110 between taxes and duties on a $300 pair of shoes.

There’s no free return shipping and (as others have noted) getting duties back is a massive pain.

Ok… then I probably won’t buy from them directly

Is there parking there?

Yup, the free kind too!

Thanks for your response it's very helpful. I'm actually going to Niagara-on-the-Lake at the end of July so I think I'll just pick it up at Niagara Falls.

Do I just cross the border and say I'm going to a restaurant or something and then hide my new suit in my trunk? Lol

Something along those lines, yes.

There's always a chance of inspection, though there's a simple way of mitigating the risk at land border crossings when it comes to clothes and accessories.

While on the subject of a tailor for alterations, if anyone knows anyone in Mississauga or Oakville, please let me know. Thanks.

Very interested in an answer here. Going to King St for alterations is a headache

I messaged tim. Hopefully he can help me. I can’t have another sack suit or jacket pressed by a satellite cleaning company I’ll go bonkers.

I’m sure there may or may not be multiple factors that determine the outcome but just roughly what would I expect to pay on top of a properly marked package (duties etc) from the UK that was $1500 CAD

13% HST
18% Duties

On the value that was declared by the shipper!!

Soon there will be a 3rd Carbon Tax... 2nd might not be suffice for Justin's lavish spending habits!!

 

[Simon Chambers]

You'll pay HST on top of the duties, plus a brokerage fee to the company who's delivering.

I'll leave carbon taxes out of the equation.

 

[ComplexSir]

So I’ll pay the 13% tax then 18% duties on top? So like 30%?
