cdn members where does hockeyworld..

[kenneth 5]

ship from? i'm thinking of ordering 9k's but when it when to shipping it said shipping method was usps. I don't know if i'm it's gonna be worth it if i'm gonna get hit by taxes/duties, in thats situation i might just pay little more and get them from LHS (since i'm gonna put custom +s on them).

Last time I checked a certain someone that is a member of this board knows a thing or two about hockeyworld.

I just ordered a pair of 9Ks from hockeyworld and they shipped from Flint, Michigan I believe.

9K's are made in Canada, so you don't have to pay the 15% duty to bring them back.

[kenneth 5]

awesome thanks for the quick info guys.

What are their shipping costs like for Canada?

[team50 20]

I've never paid duty on anything shipped USPS, only UPS from the US to Canada.

It's amazing how your reputation changes when you change names from Perani's to Hockeyworld.

would it be a good idea to buy from a member who works a pro shop? (maybe then i could get them with different holders right away?).

I don't know where in Canada you are, but assuming you were from BC and were paying 12% (5% GST, 7%PST), that would mean you were taxed on a value of over $500 CAD for a pair of 5Ks?

However, is it only the 9Ks that are made in Canada, and the rest of the RBK line is made outside North America? I suppose that would explain your charges as you probably paid around 12% duty as well.

For anyone that knows, does it say on the box or on the skates that 9KS are made in Canada?

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

9k is Canadian-made. Says on the box and the skates.

I paid 30$ shipping for a pair of pants shipped to Montreal.

They ship from Michigan, I add to pay a 15% tax on the value of the pants tho!

[kenneth 5]

tax i don't mind too much you have too pay it,but no duties makes it a good deal then

[mykey514 0]

the skates were listed on the form at $169. the duty rate is listed as 18% so thats $30.47.add $9.99 in gst,add $15.73 in pst,add $5 "handling" fee and there you go, $61.19 in fees!

i am in montreal by the way!

The moral of that story is never ever buy something that's being shipped from the US to Canada via UPS or FedEx ground service. It's the biggest scam going.

No, it's the second biggest scam going. The biggest scam going is the price of hockey equipment in Canada.

i wouldnt consider it that bad, since the skate is 549 or something like that retail in stores i still saved 150

for sure these skates are on clearance at 499 at all the LHS, but now problem is i have to return them cause they are half size too bad, i'm curious to know if i can exchange them at a LHS since i want to have tuuk's install they will still get some of my business.
