Canadian duties

[Thoras]

I'm just wondering if any Canadian customers have had any experience with shipping/duty fees on video cards.

I'm looking to pick up a new video card to hold me over better until I build a whole new system in 4ish months.

I can't find any decent agp cards for $150 or less anywhere in Canada's online options and I'd be worried about the fees to get any across the border. I've read stories of some costing a few hundred dollars or UPS sticking you with a $50+ fee!

Insane, so if anyone has any experience or tips, help please!

does it have to be online? go to a small shop, they're pretty good on prices, may have a used one to tide you over..

Drive accross to detroit and buy it there and come back.

Dont move to Canada. Its the most violent country per captia in the entire world. 1 in 3 people get shot 1 once per year by a violent offender. 1 in 7 get mugged once per year, and 1 in 22 die from being hit by a hocky puck.


Warning.
