So I want to buy a bubble bum seat to take travelling. They are not avaliable in Canada yet. I have found one place online that will deliver to Canada from the US. The thing (which weighs a pound) ships for $7.99 anywhere in the USA. But to cross the border they want $50!!! The seat only cost $40 for effs sake!
I have emailed the company in the UK to see how much it would cost to oder directly from them.
Re: WTF re. shipping charges
Shipping from the US to Canada sucks.
The fees are high and all the paperwork is a pain in the butt. That is why if companies are even willing to go thru the hassle they charge you an arm and a leg. They are probably still gonna get screwed later because inevitably even if you do everything right you (the shipper) end up getting another bill 2 months from now for some import tax or whatever. Total PIA.
