Currently the USD to can rate sucks. My main issue is how is the product is shipped. USPS to Can postal has free duty brokerage fees but Puralator charges like $50 for fees and some times so does fedex. Would it be possible to get an item shipped with USPS to Canada?
well my experience with shipments to U.S. from pine64 warehouse in china is that they use SHENZHEN EMS to get to u.s. and then USPS inside u.s. SO my quess would be it goes to canada and then uses internal canadian mail system. btw, getting stuff via this method is very slow this year. one package that was shipped to me from makerfab also in SHENZHEN ON 12/12 IS STILL IN CHINA at this time. i also have a package from pine64 that has sat in SHENZHEN since being shipped on 12/23. most popular excuse is that there has been increase in mail but i fail to accept that as reason for package sitting in china for 3 weeks. anyway, based on this experience my guess is it is gonna take much much longer than a normal year to get up to speed after the chinese new year. i've decided not to order anything from china til june of 2017.
