customs canada and records

i'm about to order my first records from juno, and i've heard that you don't get charged any customs as they ship by mail. is this 100% true, and will i only have to pay gst/pst? if there are any other online stores that let you get around the customs, please post...thanks.

Yes, they will definitely charge you GST/PST. As for duty fees, I don't remember seeing any on my last order. Be prepared to wait a while for your records, mine took over a month to get here because they were held up in customs.

there is no Customs charge..there is however a $5 handling fee. Doesnt matter if its 1 record or 20, they open your package and its %5 right there + GST

thanks. i'm just going to start out, so i'm getting seven records (on which i'm planning to practice);

dawnseekers-gothic dream
push-tranzy state of mind
solar stone-seven cities
x-trax-plan 94 (incl northface remix)
v-three-zuluu/progressive future
yahel-sugar 1/you inside
f.s.o.l-papua new guinea 2001(inc hybrid/orig.mix)

i figure that since i'm going to be the only one hearing myself spin for a long time, i might as well get tracks i really love.

i'm also getting the in my memory 3lp from hmv

well here is my experience:

dancegrooves.com = only ordered once, shit cause highly priced vinyl, also a $32 charge.

only-djs.com =
when ordering more than 20 records at the same time I get charged anywhere from $20-60 (GST/PST)
when only 10 (sometimes a charge sometimes, no charge )
when ordering 5 records (i have not had to pay a charge once!)

I just got an order of 5 vinyls, woke up this morning at it was sitting in front of my door, mind you I live in Oakville, Ontario. Which is apparently considered to be the 2nd richest city in Canada... not that I or my parents are rich...
