Re: LEGO Ninjago 9449: Ultra Sonic Raider $53.00

I live in Alberta. Most of the large sets through amazon get shipped to me via UPS. This is the first time a large set got shipped DHL from Amazon (UK).

Re: LEGO Ninjago 9449: Ultra Sonic Raider $53.00

Add tariff and handing fees, it turns out to be almost 73, and I believe they'll use UPS If they use UPS (not sure yet), you'll need to add $10 + sales tax (dependent on province). In Alberta, it'll be about $12.50. Also, the credit card exchange is always worse than the actual exchange, so if the ...

Also, the credit card exchange is always worse than the actual exchange, so if the price is $55 + $12.50, it'll be $67.50 after taxes vs $105 after taxes locally, which is s...

Re: [CAN] 20% off Chapters/Indigo SW & Lego City

Do you have to do anything special for this birthday promo? Because I have made 5 orders before reading about this. So I was wondering if those would count for it. Nope, you don't need to do anything. As long as your purchase totals were over $20 each and they were purchases from the "kids&quo...

Re: [CAN] 20% off Chapters/Indigo SW & Lego City

Don't forget about the birthday promo as well. http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/toys/birthday/bonus/ Best way to maximize the savings is to do it online with a $30 purchase (after 20% sale). That gives you the following: 1) 20% off sale 2) Ebates.ca cashback 3) $5 dollar off coupon ( march2013 ) 4) Fre...

Re: Anakin's & Sebulba's Podracers $59.97

Hehe, actually it did last long. ;) It was on sale for 2 weeks with a handful of other Star Wars lego sets. That was the only set that didn't sell out online. The Hoth set was in stock and out of stock periodically throughout the week. I'm actually surprised it didn't sell out throughout the 2 weeks...

Re: Goblin King Battle £46.62 shipped from Amazon.co.uk

I haven't received mine yet, but my credit card was charged about $75. I'm guessing UPS will charge me about $13 (brokerage + GST). So my total will be close to $90 and the local price is $137 (after GST), so the total savings is about 35%. If you're looking for this set, this is actually a great de...

I've ordered tons of stuff from them, but only once was it undeliverable. They refunded me my money immediately, but after the credit card compan...

Re: Goblin King Battle £46.62 shipped from Amazon.co.uk

Great, thanks for the deal! For a while there, it was "sold out" and could only be purchased from a third party seller for 77 pounds, but it came back "in stock", so I managed to get one. Thanks so much for the heads up... that's a great price for Canadians! edit: and hopefully i...

Re: Battle for Helms Deep £67.44 (Final Price) Amazon.co.uk

Yah, it'll be closer to $110 after the credit card conversion. Plus it will likely ship UPS, which means an additional $10 brokerage fee (plus taxes, which you would pay here anyways). Overall after UPS, it's more like a 30% discount... still a great price (for Canadians) if you're looking for the s...

Box of 60 Minifigures Series 9 - Amazon France is available

The box won't ship right away (they're taking pre-orders now), but it's available for purchase from Amazon France. Price is 118 Euros, but after removing the VAT and adding in shipping (to Canada), it comes out to just over $114 Euros. Roughly translated, that's about $150 CDN and $2.50 per pack. ht...

I was shocked that a UPS guy just knocked my door and delivered me the package. It was super fast. Besides, there was no brokerage charge and tax. Both of the lego boxes were in excellent condition. I am going to keep one for my boy and one to sell. Paid only GBP 88.61 for two :clap: . Thx for ninj...

Re: Lego Shop@home Ripping off Canadians

Lucient, I don't think the prices in Canada for Lego are a reflection of tariffs. Lego simply pads the price to maximize profit. As for avoiding taxes, the customs procedure in Canada ensures that both the federal and provincial governments receive taxes on imported good. You cannot avoid it. As a c...
