Buying In Us With Shipping To Canada For A Machine

[Babbs]

Can you move ?

I can get it through Canada Customs without a broker and ship it from here.

There probably isn't much if any duty and the gst.

Just a guess but you might be looking at less than a hundred bucks plus shipping.

If you phone them and give them the value they can tell you what it will cost.

All you want to know is the tax and duty on a machine not intended for commercial use.

Thanks for this Info, appreciate it !

I don't know if you had a particular make in mind,if not try giving Ron the Techsew guy a call at Raphaels in Montreal.He is a great guy to talk to and the shipping rates he got me to ship my GA5-1R were really good.I am hoping to have it in my shop on monday

I look forward to hearing your opinion on this machine after you have it set-up, thanks !!

I guess you could say, I am looking for Quality, Service and little maintenance since I know I'm on my own to set it up etc, lol

I am NOT saying Lieghtons machines are not good. BUT his price was $1000.00 more than the machine from Toledo when I checked in November and DIDN'T include all the optional parts. ( plates, feet ,table etc.) You are closer to Toledo then Alberta to. I didn't deal with Techsew because they had no machines on hand at the time, would have had to wait 4 to 6 weeks before they thought they might get some in. From Toledo I had my machine in 6 days.

Thanks for this Info, Appreciate it !!
