Questions to the Canadians ordering Vinyls from the UK
Is there any way around paying the Canada Customs handling fee and tax, when they deliver your records? I see on their site that you do not have to pay any fee if the goods are under $20 CDN which chaps my ass as i've got 14 records coming for th UK.
Do I suck it up and live with this fee?
I wonder how come the records compaines just dont but the price for all the records as like 1 doller. I heard that groovetech does that but i'm not intirely sure.

well, i have been testing chemical, if you order 7+ records, customs has open the package all three times, they didn't for for a 3 record package, and i am testing a 5 package right now!!
that gift thing sounds interesting.........
chemical never have custom fees to pay for anymore. apparently they worked out some deal with our postal services or something and that their packages go straight through. atleast thats what i've been told by brisky who posted that info on this board a few months back.
as for other companies? suck it up and pay for it. there is no way around it. jordan, that 14 vinyl order is going to cost you some coin. 
for me it's been random, I would get a package of 20 records and not have to pay anything at all, sometimes I get a package of 2 records and they still charge me the customs fee and tax.
but don't forget about the NAFTA & Groovetech.... NAFTA being the free trade for North America so technically u are not suposed to pay anything for a package comin from the States

| Originally posted by Alccode Same with me. Whoever said that Chemical goes straight through, that's not true, I ordered 10 records a month ago or so and got slapped with a customs charge. |
yea it works out to about 2.50 per vinyl.

I don't get charged duty on orders on Only-DJs for some reason. But everywhere else yes.
On a side note, has anybody noticed now that the war has started it is taking alot longer to get records from Europe.
I've ordered from Dancegrooves twice andI haven't been charged any fee yet. Dancegrooves and Only-dj's are both located in Holland so maybe that has something to do with it.
you will get an invoice from PBB very soon if you ordered from dancegrooves.
PBB?

| Originally posted by trancearmada yeah they are an agency that deal with customs and for some reason dancegrooves is the only one that does not charge u the customs fees right away but PBB pays for you and send u a bill. |

| Originally posted by Malice I've never got a bill from PBB, when i order from Dancegrooves, and i've ordered a few times from them now going back a few months. |
i think only the people working there can answer these questions. i haven't gotten away from PBB once. 3 orders from DG and 3 invoices from PBB. chemical on the other hand, i had no trouble with duties since june of last year. since then, i've had atleast 15+ orders from there and only 1 had taken unreasonably long to arrive and it still had no extra charges. juno is just dependant on order size or how often you order from there from my experience. perhaps this is based purely on luck.
Anybody know what prices are associated with bringing 8 vynals from juno.co.uk? I mean, what is ALL the fees that you get charged?!
