A question for those with experience using a 'Freight Forwarding' service to Canada. Does the flat fee (in this case $25) cover all duties and taxes? If these charges are not included the final price could exceed $200 CAD. If they are included, $180 CAD after conversion and shipping seems very reasonable. Please chime in with your experiences Canadians.
I think this info would be extremely useful to interested Canadian shoppers. The purchase cost is unclear until then. Massdrop?

CuriouNo it won't cover customs fees. It'll be the same for me to the UK and anywhere else for that matter. If we're lucky Massdrop might declare a lower price on the customs form to reduce the fees, as has happened before when I have ordered from US stores. But that's unlikely.

mon7gomeryThanks for the insight! The cost certainly escalates after shipping, conversion rate, taxes, and duties. I would estimate over $200 Canadian dollars. Still a good price, I just hope Canadian and international consumers are aware of the entire cost.

CuriouFor those that live near the Canada/US border, all of that can be avoided if you pickup in the US. There are a bunch of freight companies in the US near the border that will hold the package for you. The ones near Vancouver (in Blaine, WA) charge around $3 a package. If you live in or near Vancouver, I can recommend one,
