Anyone know of any good online canadian retailers? I'm sick of paying import taxes, for one pull/spin start for $24 I'm paying $11 in taxes.

what are you talking about ??..import taxes ?? I've ordered ALLOT of rc stuff from across the border and i never had to pay import taxes ...what shipping method do you use ???
 
I got a free one from horizon hobbies the guy on the phone said the shipping was paid for, but I had to import taxes maybe it was duty I'm not sure. All I know is that it cost me $11.
 
i know that everything i ordered from the states had no import or duty fees ...was it shipped by usps ( normal mail) or fedx (or something like that) ...i know by fedx you might have to pay duty fees .....with normal post you dont
 
It was UPS. Well I'm glad I know that now.Have you ever used any canadian ones?, I found one called great hobbies. They seem to have everything I want in stock.

Also with USPS, how long did it take to get to you.
 
i have ordered from a couple canadian ones , but if you order in canada , you will pay taxes ...thats why i order from outside canada and i make sure it is shipped by mail...as for shipping time , it usually takes between 1 and 2 weeks depending on where they are located ...sometimes i got my stuff within a week ...I'm a patient guy so i dont mind waiting a bit ;)......also , keep in mind , where i live , the mail has to make a detour ..so it takes a couple more days

Cool thanks. The guy at my lhs is placing an order tomorrow. They dont carry Losi except the minis and micros, but he said I could still order through them. Think I'm going to do that, support them so when I just need little stuff like glow plugs, igniters, batteries, chargers and what not there still there for me to get them without having to order online.
