Ok for all you canucks out there... When you bought something off MF, what was the total cost of your purchase, and how much did you pay in customs? (I ask because I might be able to buy a new drum set online, but I have a feeling customs will kill me) Thanks :thumb:

Duty adjust to where you are buying from. Its a tax from the government. I never know how much I'll get charged, so I'll calculate with the maximum 15%. Convert whatever you bought to CDN$, and then calculate 15% tax on that amount. it wont be over that amount.

And yeah, I would rather order through a local shop. If you can go to Steves, in Toronto or Ottawa, get them to order whatever and price match it. Print out whatever page you want, and the conversion rate from xe.com. If they wont match it, they dont deserve your buisness.
