I wish you were the customs official during my international buying binge. I was charged GST & PST on many of the items. They never use to collect it and left that up to the Provincial level of collecting... Seems times are changing. Oh well, it still worked out to be less that local, and I for sure would have paid GST & PST.

Even some stores in Canada are collecting PST now, even if you are out of Province. Dell collected GST & PST when I bought my Laptop. MEC, NCIX, and many others still do not collect PST, which is good
