unless you got it shipped UPS, and they hit you up for their ridiculous brokerage fees.
if you have it shipped USPS then there's no problem ordering from the states. Canada post charges you a flat $5 brokerage fee + taxes.
It was shipped Fedex. They were clipless shoes/cleats/covers, not sure if that made a difference. It would've been a really nice deal if it was just $80, but in the end it was still cheaper than walking into the store and buying the same thing.
But dang, that cost.
So you're saying if I shipped it USPS I won't get slapped with duties?
