It’s not really much savings once you factor exchange rate and such if it’s something you can buy in Canada (or if it’s a really smoking deal in the US), but it’s great for something you can’t get here, or has crazy international shipping rates. |
The fees for DYK to deliver the parcel from Montana to Calgary are pretty nominal; however, the brokerage fees seem like they could get pretty high. What does it mean when it says "Brokerage per vendor"? I guess I could just contact them but in your experience does it mean that you can import 5 packages from the same "vendor" (i.e. Amazon) totaling $150 for only $15.00 in brokerage fees? I also buy stuff on eBay sometimes but it wouldn't be cost effective to pay $15.00 for every single one if each "vendor" is different?
