Waiting for order.


Hi!

I was just wondering from anyone who could give me an answer. I ordered my new kite package coming from Colorado two weeks ago. Package 1 of two, which is my harness and a bunch of dvd's will be hopefully here tomorrow. But I'm curious to know how long I should be waiting to receive my kite; which, I am told is being sent out directly from Ozone. So I was wondering if anyone has ever had this issue, would know approximately how long it should take for it to get to me. Also if I should be expecting any extra shipping fees. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Hope you're sitting down. IF they sent it through UPS you're in for some hefty brokerage fees (minimum $50) PLUS GST on your purchase. The GST can't be avoided save for having the package parked as a gift which in most all cases goes against a business ethic so to ask a retailer to do it isn't something you should "expect". Now, why the govt can charge us GST on something we purchased outside of Canada is beyond me (what ever happened to NAFTA?) but it is what it is so expect to pay 5% plus maybe your provincial tax? Do you have provincial tax on the Sask side of Lloyd?

IF they miraculously shipped via UPSP you'll be delighted to find you only have to pay about a $5 brokerage fee and the taxes on the package value.

Canada Post is cash only I think, UPS can take a cheque. Either way have it by the door or you won't get your package.

I bought my access from Colorado Kite Force a couple years ago but I had friends in Arizona so he shipped it to them and they shipped it to me marked as a gift. NO FEES ; )

Well, now I wish I knew people in the states lol. I actually found out that it is being shipped via USPS so hopefully it will be mostly GST and other taxes. I just hope its the same situation when Ozone shipped out my kite from their warehouse. Thanks man!:thumbup:

Not to mention Exchange fees... Cad to US...
Let me know on you next kite if you find it easier in Canada...
Right over here in Toronto... Only GST to Alberta...

If that helps... 2-4 days shipping or so...
But either way you have fun in the end...
