Mine arrived today, too.

As for Customs/duties, on an order of 140 US:

PST - 10.78
GST - 8.09
FEE - 5.00

For a total of $23.86. They taxed it under Kits/Models.

Which is kinda accurate, considering there is "Some assembly required" [:p]
I didn't have enough cash on hand, so he got 13 dollars in change.

Thanks again for putting this together.
(must resist urge to make pens now)

Mike, there's no duty on pen kits, blanks, glue, etc. just 6%GST + 7%PST + a "fee". The "fee" only applies if you are taxed.
The ransom I paid on a declared value of $360US (which customs graciously converted to $354.46 CAD) was:
GST - $21.27
PST - $24.81 (in Manitoba)
Fee - $8.00
Total - $54.08
The $8 fee is what the crooks charge to tell me how much tax I must pay!
If it's sent in a flat-rate envelope or box the fee is $5.
If it's sent XPRESSPOST the fee is $8.
I don't think flat rate offers insurance or signing to acknowledge delivery. So if you want insurance or proof of delivery you're stuck with XPRESSPOST which also means the higher fee and a guarantee of taxes being charged.
When I get stuff via flat-rate (almost always) it quite often is not charged tax or the fee but that seems to be hit and miss. I've had flat-rate packages with a declared value of $15 taxed with the fee and some with values over $100 not taxed.
The only way to escape tax (legally) is for it to be a gift but I don't think the gift is supposed to be more than $60 CAD.
Oh, and all packages go through customs. I guess it's up to the individual customs guy/gal as to whether taxes are charged.

This is what I've been led to believe so if I've been fibbed to please let me know [:I]

Thanks again for doing this Mike:D

If I may add,I've also got dinged and had to pay ransom before Canada Post released my goods from this GROUP BUY. My fees amounted to close to $24 CAD ($5 admin fee + 8% provincial tax + 6% federal tax). The reason why my shipment was 'flagged' was because of the sender being identified as a 'retailer' and therefore would not qualify as gift or even for 'commercial samples'. If the sender is NOT identified as a reseller and as a 'friend' who sends pen kits it changes everything. I took advantage of a second GROUP BUY also and kindly got the 'sender' to ship it as a gift and it was NOT flagged by Canada Post. As a result the shipment came accross the border without me paying any taxes or administration fees.

Before anyone gets on me for tax avoidance. Hear me out.I pay my fair share of taxes to our Canadian goverment for ALL goods and services that are purchased IN Canada. I do not believe that the Canadian government should gouge me and collect for goods that are purchased outside our country. What ever happened to the 'spirit' of NAFTA and so called free trade with the USA? Just my rants and thoughts here and will apologize in advance if I've hijacked the original intent of this topic.

I called them on Monday and again yesterday. Both times I was told the b/o was being picked. I have not got an email saying it has been shipped yet nor has my charge card been billed.

I will call them again to see if they can enlighten me. I tried to add to the b/o yesterday and they would not let me because the order had been processed.
