Hi!
I need informations from CANADIAN members who upgraded their REGA TT, with merchandise from Michael Lim (Malaisia) or Groove Tracer (USA).
If there's any expensive Canadian duty when you order .

First, make sure anything coming in comes by post. The post office, if they charge you for collecting the sales taxes, only add a small brokerage fee (I think it just went up to 8.50). UPS will always hit you with taxes, plus a very hefty brokerage fee.
Small stuff often comes by post with no added fees or taxes.

Cheers,
Alec

As I said, the post office might add the sales tax (HST) plus their fee, or they might not. Nothing scary. UPS charged me $55 brokerage fee on one parcel, a few years ago, on top of the taxes.

Cheers,
Alec
