Hi All, just to say my Pursuit arrived this morning, can't wait to get home and plug it into CK273.

Let the good times roll.

How much did you have to pay for import duties?

Marky Mark · 16th November 2007, 15:35

Don't want to speak too soon, but the ups guy just dropped it off this morning, no mention of taxes. I expected a call from HMC&E first, but not a sausage. Fingers crossed.

Probably still feeling guilty for rolling me over with the Kiss

You will most probally receive a bill from UPS in the next few days.

Every time I have had to order parts from Jetsam I got a nice bill from the courier as well a few days later. I got my Pursuit shipped to my Office in the States as I was informed I would not have to pay any duty and still got a bill for $30 from UPS $5 disbursment fee and $25 merchandise processing fee.

I ordered it just after the Dive Show, but it got a bit c@cked up because of DEMA. I ordered the Pursuit and a cable, I have the Boris style handset so I only needed the unit and a cable, it'll plug straight in.

UPS are bastards - whenever a package goes across a border they charge those "paperwork" fees. Also it's based on the value of the item so the more it costs the more you pay for the "paperwork" on top of any taxes or duties. Whenever I buy from the US (I'm in Canada) I refuse to accept UPS shipments and I've stopped buying from sellers that won't use USPost.

P.S. FedEx isn't much better
