I'm about to make a purchase for the home that is about $500. I'm getting it shipped to the States and gonna bring it back. Will declare the item and the value. What is the chance I'll have taxes and duties? And if so what would it be? Thanks in advance RS! |
At $500 by yourself, it's pretty close to 100% you'll get called inside. If they are being picky or you have some exuberant items in your list, they'll pick apart your list and charge you duty to each item that's necessary. More likely than not, they will just charge you 12% on your entire order, so $60. |

It should only be 12% HST but they can charge you duty if its made outside North America. What kind of item is it? If its something large like a sofa then you are more likely to get sent in. So in the end declare it all and you may or may not have to pay $60.00... |

What are their prices? |

The thing about 24/7 parcel, and because they're open 24/7, is that you need to PREPAY prior to pick up (considering there is no-one there to collect your money outside of their operating hours). |

2 years ago, I had a purchase of around 2100 total (rims, tires, suspension). Got pulled in right away, but the officer was nice enough to just charge me duty for the tires even though all 3 items were not made in USA. I guess it really depends on the officer. just hopefully get on his or her good side and hope for the best! |

They'll send you a text message instantly with your current balance, when a package arrives, once you pick up a package, etc. |

Duties = items made outside of North America and Mexico |

^Wrong. What he meant was that he was charged tax on his goods not duty. He does not know the difference between the two. You cannot be charged duty and not tax. You can be charged tax and not duty (to the discretion of the officer) |
^+1 It really bothers me when my fob friends rave about not paying tax at the duty-free shops lol |
I always declare anyways. Cause honesty is the best policy. I find YMMV depending on the customs officer some of them are nice and will wavie you through, some will nickle and dime you even if you are slightly over the limit. For what it is worth. Under 24 Hours - technically you don't have any allowance Over 24 Hours - $200 Over 48 Hours - $800 Plus whatever is the alcohol and cigarette allowance. |
Package arrives at TSB at 2pm yesterday but still hasnt been processed yet :suspicious: |

I asked TSB about my email notification, apparently it was sent out but it didn't make it to my Hotmail inbox, which I usually get anyways. Meanwhile at 247 parcel, got a text message saying my package is ready to be picked up :awwyeah: |
Like jtanner_ mentioned above, 247 parcel is automated. It was pretty mind blowing actually. After I closed my locker door, got an immediate text messaging indicating that the package has been picked up and my account balance. |
For oversized parcels at 24/7, they will lock a door key in your assigned locker that opens up the locked door at the end of the hall. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...3DA889153A.jpg When I ordered my KYB struts, they couldn't fit all of them into a locker, so they put the key into the locker. |
