COMC and Tarrifs

[leafer70]

I requested shipment on COMC just to see what the taxes/duties would be and it was less than $50 on my order compared to over $300 a couple days ago. So it appears COMC has dropped the tariff charge.

It has come down but its still crazy. Between duty and shipping im down to 44 dollars for 130 cards

I believe the shipping to Canada for a package is where it's always been at around $25USD. And then the usual Canadian tax rate is applied to your purchase on top of that, so I think we're pretty much back to where things were before the tariffs. If the value of your 130 cards is only around $100, then I'd say $44 is a lot to spend to get them shipped. Which is why I usually wait until I have $500 or more worth of cards to ship - then the shipping fee is a little easier to swallow.

YES!!! Tariffs have been dropped. On my order page, it now shows as follows
Estimated delivery October 17
$73.74 Regular Parcel
$28.93 Delivered Duties Paid

I'll port this over from the other thread about why it still shows as a $73+ charge for a 260 card order:

Postage & Handling US$8.99

Duty Fee US$3.08

Item Fee US$0.25

Add-Ons US$0.00 (Add-ons = top loaders, which are charged at 50c each.)

Total Cost US$12.32

The above is for a single card. Each additional card you get charged a per-item fee of 25c. 260 x 25c = $65USD

All the same, this is a good day for Canadian collectors.

I'm still confused why you had a $73.74 charge for regular parcel. On their website, it states that for Canada Post Regular Parcel, it's $22.99 with no charge for each additional item. That's all I just paid for a shipment of almost 800 cards.

Well that's interesting. I wonder if it's there because MANY of those cards in my portal are originally from E-Pack. I'll take a further look and if I need extra clarity maybe send COMC another email.

Look forward to the discussion and fact finding.

Pricing has also been updated on E-Pack. A single card now only works out to:

Postage & Handling US$8.99

Duty Fee US$0.52

Item Fee US$0.25

Add-Ons US$0.00

Total Cost US$9.76

Yes, it's probably because you ported the cards over from e-pack. Their flat rate only applies to cards purchased directly from COMC (which is where all of mine came from.)

[RGM81]

Definitely the issue, yeah. Which is fine, goes with the territory. I made two shipment requests today - one is an express order because maybe there's a hot Habs rookie doing a signing in October - and I'm at peace with the shipping costs associated with it. It's unlikely I'll see such a build-up of cards like this again unless UD makes more awesome stuff only on E-Pack like the 4 Nations release, etc. Going to be pretty cool to get one of those big maildays again.
