CF diffusers didn't pass our QC; we have to wait for better material to come in. I will have more info within these two days.

Since you are in Toronto; do you want me to ship it to NY? then have it ship from NY to Toronto?

i thought u were shipping from vancouver to toronto as you stated earlier since you are in canada...it'd be unefficient to ship it to the US and then back into canada, no? main reason is that if you ship to the US, i may get taxed and brokerage fo the person who picks it up...then on the way back up, i will probably get taxed again by the canadian gov

I believe you will be charged twice for taxes and brokerage! I thought they were located in Vancouver too?

It will be cheaper to ship it to NYC first, because we can pack all the kits into 4-5 boxes instead 1 kit per box. The ocean shipping company charge us by the cubic meter. This way we can saved extra $$$ off the hidden fee which charge by local authority port.

if you like we can declare the kit for $300-$400 for you; so you can pay less tax for the import.

so all the kits are coming from asia and none are from vancouver? i just dont want to pay duty twice...its kinda pointless...how much is shipping direct from VAN to TO (greyhound, fedex, or what other carriers are there)?

I thought Tokion was producing the kits in Canada?

nah, he was always making them in asia, but for the past 6 months, i thought he said he would ship canadian buyers stuff from canada

[canucklion]

interesting. Well, I hope he ships to Canadian buyers within Canada, unless he explicitly told Canadian buyers that there would be duties/custom brokerage fees invovled, otherwise this is no different than buying from an oversea vendor, what's the point of buying from a Canadian vendor then?

We can ship it from Vancouver, if you don't might to wait until we have stock in Vancouver; 3-4 weeks after other members received their kits.

another 3-4 weeks? im not even going to be in canada then...so your telling me that from mid feb, i have to wait till mid july for this kit? maybe beginning of august? whats that, like 5 1/2 - 6 months? 22 to 24 weeks? i understand that you are trying to save money by shipping it direct from asia to NY but i now i dont get how you are going to ask me to wait another 3-4 weeks? i was the second in line to provide you with the deposit for you in good faith cause you said you needed the $$ for R&D and now ill prolly be the friggin last person to recieve their kit....this is crazy

[tokion]

that's why i said it its better for us to ship it to NYC first; then have it ship from there. This way it will save you extra 2-3 weeks of waiting.

No matter where I ship it from the shipping cost will be the same.

costs will be the same for you, not me....because im going to have to pay duty twice. 1st time when it enters the US...and the 2nd when it enters canada. who's gonna ship that big box to me anyways from NY?? and plus i guarantee that when shipping internationally, ie from US to CAN, an identical box with an identical weight will always cost more than shipping it within canada...

edit: how about i pay for the kit...and you pay and organize all the shipping costs to TO and ill pay you back afterwards?

[ctgazer]

anyone else left in this GB? strange no one else has posted up for a lil bit...

[uhaulball]

im just lurking... waiting for something to get me excited.

[GTx08]

[Park828]
