Be careful though, i bought a $1200 CD player from Canada and UPS wanted COD of $295 upon delivery. I almost paid it but when refused they left a phone number to call, well the next day i called the ups 1-800 # instead and it was explained to me that custom hold fee is only $53 and that delivery person didn’t always have the latest info. Upon showing payment confirmation # to the same delivery person the very next day, it was released. SCAM? Just to add, The second time around the older delivery person brought a ups partner so i couldnt help think it was a body guard. 😏. Did anyone else have this inflated COD charge experience?
Buying an item from Canada
Can anyone explain to me what is involved in buying an item from a Canadian seller and shipping into the U.S. The item would be valued at $2500 CAD. What type of duty and taxes will be due? The item is built in China. Will the shipping take longer than usual? Thanks for any help.
