CFM tsunkasapa Posted February 4, 2022 CFM Report Posted February 4, 2022 My State adds sales tax to not only the price of the item, but taxes shipping and handling as well. I order from out of state when I can. If you haven't looked at them, three suppliers I like are; Maverick Leather Company – Your Leather Supplier They say they ship worldwide Montana Leather Company - The Best Online Leather Store International Customers: International orders will be shipped via USPS, unless an alternate method is requested. Orders will be processed on the day of shipment with confirmation of the shipping charges. International customers will be responsible for duties & taxes based on your individual country. And for Canadian customers, note that ground brokerage is not included. Oregon Leather Co. – Portland and Eugene's premier leathercraft and leather supply store. Good people, good products. But I have no idea of their Intl shipping, I generally go into the store when I'm down to Portland. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

Yes, the shipping cost between the US and Canada has become bizarely obscene. All while the same item ships from China to Canada for free. Repeat after me several times: it has nothing to do with Chicoms bribing our postal officials into ruining our small businesses. But if you looked for crazy-expensive shipping, check out Italy to Canada!

Thats why i suggested to get something closer to home because the leather merchants have already imported it for you yes they may charge a bit for that, hell Tandy ripped people off for years this side of the pond when they had shops charging Pound and dollar like for like here, did nobody think to buy off Tandy USA of course they did but import duties, shipping put paid to that me thinks.
