Shit. Sorry for that hyrax. Why would you have to pick up a package? Want me to send you some cash to ship it to ese? Ferms.. what did you and $360 do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fermentor666 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Shit?? I sent it 3-5 day delivery, insured it for 200 dollars, paid 26 dollars total to send it from the US. I sent it because 360 didn't have the cash to send it out. Sent it last week, forgot to bump the thread. I honestly have no idea why you had to pay to get it, I paid all the postage neccessary to get it out from the states. All I put down on customs was that it was a camera, sketchbook, and extra film. Sending it 3-5 days for 25 dollars came with an insurance for 100 bucks, and for an extra dollar I could get 100 more insurance so I paid that. I'm sorry that you had to pay for it, but I can't say that I know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fermentor666 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 360 and I will pitch in some money to you hyrax, he has a "vintage digital camera" that he's willing to send to you, but I'm afraid you'd have to pay for that, too? Is there something about the Canadian post office/customs office that I'm unaware of? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!@#$% Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 stresshead.. those were shot at the aquarium, no flash, very steady hand (no tripod) and caution to avoid any glare in the shot. canon powershot A85.. ..excellent fucking camera! apparently, it does have underwater capabilities (when you get a protective case) as far as customs fees, i do a TON of overseas shipping here at work, the only times i can recall when a person had to pay to RECEIVE a package was when there was INADEQUATE POSTAGE. who knows what happened. maybe the postal service typed in the wrong zip code and misjudged the postage amount. dunno.

hyrax Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Thanks for the support guys, I'll let you know what ends up happening. I read through some of the customs documentation and I can dispute the charges to get a refund, so I'm gonna give that a shot. Total was $42.22 canadian: $17.37 GST/HST $19.85 PST $5.00 Handling fee According to the customs info, I can dispute it if the goods are returned to sender/exporter, I just have to prove it's left Canada. Or, I can claim the Goods were classified or described incorrectly. I think the second one is the best bet. According to the customs form the value was listed as $248.18, which is the reason for the charges :/ Shouldn't be hard to get them to understand it's a handmade book, some photos and an old polaroid camera that's basically a gift, and isn't even staying in Canada. I'll let you all know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rage- Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 hyrax, Definitley see if you can dispute the charges for LESS than the 248. I assume it's unopened. You could even claim the whole package as something really inexpensive.. like 30 bucks, if that will lessen the fees. Maybe we can work something out. Ferms.. did you by any chance get a receipt when you sent it out? Was it UPS.. FedEx...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fermentor666 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I sent it UPS, 3-5 days. The clerk weighed it, it came out to 25 dollars. 3-5 day shipping includes 100 dollars worth of insurance, for an extra dollar more you can get an extra 100 dollars. I paid the extra 100 dollars because I figured it was worth it in case the thing got lost or damaged. I do have the original receipt but it will be somewhat of a pain in the ass to find since I just moved. I declared it as a camara, sketechbook, and film like I said. I declared it's worth as 200 dollars since that's what I had it insured for. If that's something wrong that I did, sorry, I've never actually sent a package outside the US. I can try my best to make it up to you. I assure you I paid the full postage when I sent it out, I wouldn't stick ya with the bill, hyrax.

Quoted post Customs for certain countries place large import tariffs on high valued items to prevent people from skipping sales/flat tax by ordering expensive equipment from elsewhere. By declaring at $200, you essentially put a big sign on it that said, "THIS IS VALUABLE. TAX IT". I'm guessing the camera was actually worth much less than $200. For future reference you're best off declaring items shipped to other countries at their actual value or far less than it depending. It was definitely an honest mistake though.

fermentor666 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Yeah, someone just told me that the fee was probably because of taxes due to me declaring it as 200 bucks. Honest mistake, but still stupid. Sorry Hyrax, if you can't get the money back let me know and I'll get you back. And 360 says he has a "vintage digital camera" he can give you.
