[vick-e]

well how much do i have to pay at customs? anyone here know? and have it shipped here?







i can`t drive down there any time in these 2 years...i have school everyday. but if buying it from the states will be a crap load cheaper ill order it from lowes website.





but any who???



anyone have answers to my original questions?

[holland_patrick]

Heck someone could mail it up to ya if you have friends in the states it wouldn`t cost that much to ship..

[2wheelsx2]

Yeah, the duty is pretty steep, depending on the shipping. But there are savings to be had. $109 at Coastal Tool and then probably $20 Cdn for the paper work, so the savings would mainly be $30 - $40.



As for the original question, I don`t know if the 7336 comes with a pad. The 7424 certainly does.

[vick-e]

ok so its $20 for duty?

shipping...any ideas?? some guy told me 15 dollar cdn or something....seems a lot...so i doubt its 15$.

You won`t have to pay duty as the PC is made in the US (free trade) but you will have to pay taxes (15%) plus depending on how it`s sent, you may have to pay brokerage fees. Whatever you do, don`t get it shipped by UPS, they charge more for brokerage fees then anyone, get it sent by the USPS. I would say it`s going to cost you around $25 usd for shipping (just guessing).

Yeah, no duty because the PC is made in the USA and whatever you do don`t have it shipped UPS. USPS is the way to go.

If your lucky and find a friendly Canuck they might send one or bring one up. Works out well in the end.

I bought my 7424, backing plate and counter-weight from coastaltool.com for US$109 in October. It took about 9 days to get here. Tell them you want USPS, not UPS shipping.



US$109 = $135 for the PC

US$22 = $28 USPS shipping

$5 duty

$24.45 tax



Total = Cdn$192.45 including all taxes etc.



Depending on your PST - here in Ontario it`s 8% - that works out to a pre-tax price of Cdn$167.34. Good luck finding it at that price in canada with the backing plate and counter-weight.



Porter Cable sell re-conditioned units in Canada for about the same price. However, their customer service sucked when I called so I went with Coastal Tool instead.

I`d suggest going coastal and spend the 50 odd dollars on product. I bought mine through CDN tire when it was on sale but that was before I knew that coastal sells it so cheap.

Vick-e, I bought a 7336 from Lowe`s. It came with one white pad and some wood sanding stuff. Good luck, I hope you can find a good deal. Wes

I got mine from SilvaBimma when he was up visiting over x-mas, and got a sweet deal on it :D
