I had a huge argument with a customs agent about them charging HST on shipping. I told her it was BS to charge me taxes on something that was consumed in the US and I wasn't importing "shipping" into Canada and also drove 2 hours using gas that I paid 75% tax on per liter , plus 13% HST and 5% carbon tax on top of that! I also asked her if she was going to charge me tax on my taxicab ride that I took in New York City or the burger I ate there too.
Man, she was pissed off at me! My buddy was looking for a hole to crawl into.
When I bought my A/C system I asked them to bill me separately for the shipping and only supplied the bill for the A/C only, not shipping.
