M/T are here

Leanna there is no way around it. When the parcel is insured for a certain amount, we the customer here in Canada run the risk of paying extra once it lands here. With that being said, there is a possibility of re-imbursement as you provided a "service". In all reality as purty as the v/c's are, they arent a new product.
I myself have called Canada Customs when I recieved a part.(sorry cant remember what the issue was). But I did get a cheque from them.
Also when I spoke on the phone to Canada Customs the lady told me its luck of the draw. $20 and under its not worth their while, anything above that is fair game and they spin the wheel.

Another sidenote...great member here Badsport recieved a shipment for Dad n I from Comp cams. He reshipped to Dad and insured it for what it was worth $500 and Dad had to pick up at the post office....not a frickin cent in extra taxes/fees!! Go figure....
