It was a while ago. I knew I was rolling the dice with the order so I wasn't too surprised. It wasn't all duty, there were terminal fees, clearance charges, documentation, etc...

They also opened the package as well to inspect it and held it a couple days. But when I brought a container over before, even with inspections, there weren't extra charges so I was used to these fees.

Don't get me wrong, I'd roll the dice again if there was enough stuff for me to order at once that shipping made sense. Even though they ship tons of stuff to Canada and US, they will never give you a straight answer on what the charges you might face are. If it was consistent they would be able to calculate it for you, or at least ballpark it. It is up to you to handle any fees coming across.

I could have just been unlucky. I hope anyone who orders from Canada keeps us posted on their experiences. They have some nice stuff there.

Thanks for posting the picture and confirming that your order went through fine. What is the total price you paid including tax and all shipping fees if you don't mind me asking? (Unless it tells you on the site exactly, haven't gone to checkout yet)

And by the way, you own my dream car, the NSX

No problem. I'll check for the invoice at home and post the price.

I'm interested in getting this part. Do you know what shipping company they used to ship it out to you?

You don't get to pick the shipper. They usually ship large items either by FedEx or UPS, small items with EMS.

No worries. I ordered the part, just hope I don't get bombarded with duties and fees... Have a bad experience with UPS buying something worth 40 dollars.
