USPS usually goes across our borders without duties but they're suppose to charge you duties so consider yourself lucky 99% of the time. Its a risk all of us Canadians have to take when we order items from the US.<br /><br />That said... On my experience.. Items with a higher declared value have a higher chance of getting hit with duties. Lower valued items always seem to go through without any issues.

$10 handling fee, and $20 tax.<br />I've purchase a LOT of things over the internet from the US and I've paid taxes on two or three of them, and never from USPS. <br />The idea of this site is saving money, but from my experience I'm not sure how Canadians can do that.

USPS at the end, but UPS at the start it seems.<br />But I've been shipped tons of things by USPS and never had charges, only UPS or sometimes Fedex has ever dinged me. It's even worse when you look at the charges as a percentage of the price paid for the package itself.
JMaxLens is pretty much on track. Higher declarations get my scrutiny. There are two types of fees associated with international parcel shipments: (1) Brokerage and (2) duties/taxes. The reason a lot of Massdroppers have concern over UPS is that the shipper generally passes brokerage charges to the recipient which greatly increases the cost associated with international shipments. Duties/taxes are generally billed to the recipient. Massdrop, when it ships items, avoids brokerage by either choosing a shipping service that includes brokerage or by using a service that partners with national postage services (e.g. USPS to CanadaPost in the case of Canada).
That sucks, didn't have to pay duties on my end. Was it shipped with USPS or UPS? <br /><br />Mine shipped with USPS.

Got my bag, and the product itself is great!<br />However I myself won't be using MassDrop again, and warn any other Canadians from doing so as well. I ended up having to pay $30 in charges when the bag came, which I was worried about given UPS's involvement. Oh well live and you learn I suppose.
JMaxHey @JMax <br /><br />Can you confirm what was the charge for? At $30, that sounds more in line of the local sales tax, which is pretty typical regardless of the courier.
I got my distressed tan bag last night and I have to say it is amazing! Craftsmanship that is just not seen anymore, completely worth the wait. Thanks to everyone at Massdrop for getting this organized and keeping us updated!
@Mr.Mango<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br /><br /><br /><br />And just a quick update for everyone participating in the group buy, Copper River Bags has shipped out all the Browns for domestic orders. We will receive the Browns for international orders within the next 2 days, and we should be able to ship them out pretty quickly afterwards.<br /><br />We are aiming to have Distressed Tan and Black domestic order out by this Friday, with international orders within a week follow that.
