Literally just rejected a package because the duties / fees were 50% of the cost of the item. It was a $200 jacket and had $95 in duties / taxes. The problem was the value (before MD promotion) was put on the package so I had to pay duties / taxes on the full price, not just the sale price. Completely defeats the purpose of shopping on MD.

AdamSNYeah, now that is B.S., and presumably because the carrier is trying to gouge additional amounts based on some nonsense... although there are some weird new tariffs for certain items because of the ongoing trade disputes between Canada and the U.S. as well, like an additional tax on playing cards!

AdamSNI just had a pair of AKG7XX's ordered from Massdrop, sent by "Post Express". delivered to me. The customs tax was just 5% for G.S.T., and maybe also an additional $5 service charge, but I think it was just 5%. don't have the receipt with me. You should be prepared to pay 5% tax on anything over US $20 in value that you order from the U.S., but it shouldn't cost more than that. I guess you'll have to pay H.S.T. in some provinces, but I've never had to deal with that, living in Quebec or Alberta for the last 10 years.

Any possibility of more Hivi Swan monitors?
I see the m200mkIII's were sold on here previously, and I wish they could make a reappearance. What would be even more amazing would be the Swan m300mkII, or, dare I say, the Swan m500...

The audio on my pc38x is not working
One day I just plugged in my Pc38x and they stopped working. I tested the mic and it works, I've tried changing the cord multiple times and have adjusted the volume disk, none of this has changed my situation. I've tested the headphones on my PC, switch, and PS5 and the audio doesn't work there either.

Meze 99 Noir
Heard a lot about these in the past few years, and they sound as good as they look. Deep bass, crystal clear midrange, and solid treble, overall superior sound. Great for multiple genres, special...

Hifiman x Dekoni Cobalt or Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir
Im looking to buy a set of closed back headphones under $200. So far the two main contenders are the Cobalt and Noir. Has anyone compared these two? which seems to be better? Both are around the same price. Ive heard the cobalt is lacking in bass, while thats not ideal im not too worried as I dont often listen to bassy music.

Xduoo Poke II repair
Hi friends, I recently had a mishap with my Xduoo Poke II, that is, it fell out of my hands and now it turns on but the command buttons now work sometimes and sometimes not. I have written several times to Xduoo directly because it was with them that I bought this Dac and to find out what I can do about it but after two months I have not received a response. I live in Mexico City but I would like to know if anyone knows of a technical service in the US that could repair my Poke II and know if it would be worth it for me taking into account the cost of repair and the issue of shipping, or if it is better to think about buying a new portable Dac. Thanks and Cheers everybody.
