I think it is about right. HD 58X is 150$ us which is about $200 Can. So the tax is 26$ + 10$ service charge. Sometimes I purchased small items such as Sunglasses, knifes, pens, and they went though without any charges. So good luck next time.

Jonathan-LeDo you know what the service charge is for?

f.h.motlaghI think it costs 10$ fee when a Canadian Customs officer opens and checks your item. Cheer. For more information, you can read more here https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/import/postal-postale/menu-eng.html

Jonathan-LeThanks for the info man! I still do expect that Massdrop takes care of this one because when I've already paid for shipping and "handling", I expect this stuff to be included. And also I'm piss poor! The main payment was a lot of saving up through a long period!

f.h.motlaghAmazon.ca charges 435$ + tax for Sennheiser HD 600, so you are saving 200$ already. No company outside of Canada (including Massdrop) will takes care of Tax and Duty for you. I guess this is your first time buying online ?

Jonathan-LeI've already had two drops arrive with no extra charges, that's why I didn't expect it.

f.h.motlaghAlso, who said the deal was bad, or 58x and 600 are the same for that matter. I signed up for around $210 in total, not $250 is all I'm saying.

Probably it’s also in the terms of service that nobody reads.

f.h.motlaghGotta admit I was wrong, I had never bought items worth more than $20 from the US and hadn't realized that I would be paying taxes for the headphones. Massdrop, you had no responsibility for paying the tax but I suggest adding a clear notice (like "+ any applicable taxes and/or tariffs" near the price) on the drop page to prevent people paying more than they expected to have to pay. Thanks again for the great drop however and keep it up!
