jfaltous Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I don't understand why everyone is so scared to order online... Tell you what, any Canadians who want to order through me send me a PM.. I'll throw say a 10% premium on whatever the end cost is of the online shipment and that should about cover any paypal charges and costs to ship to you. That's how confident I am with online ordering That means that 250g tubs of AF should be costing you in the area of $11-13 each (as opposed to $30), depending on how much you get at a time.

Ghetto Byrd Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Yeah the problem is duties are the BIGGEST bitch, thats why we are scared just want to put an end to that, if we we're going to order from you what would you accept paypal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfaltous Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 If the people sending you the stuff know what they're doing, duties don't even come into the picture at all. I'm fine taking paypal or whatever if you'll cover the fees (its like 5% or something to withdraw I think...?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghetto Byrd Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) Can't remember haven't handled Paypal in a while. I am not sure if its applicable to same currency transactions. Edited March 7, 2008 by Ghetto Byrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghetto Byrd Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Yeah by you accepting to import you will have to sorta run the risk of getting hit for duties and it will be your responsibility. Just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinionalso, the more times you deceive customs with false information on packages (it is considered as smuggling) then your chances of getting flagged is a lot higher as well. i sure as hell wont take that risk for someone else.

jfaltous Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I'm not trying to run this for profit or anythin here, I'm saying that I am confident enough in the results that I will take the "risk" of duties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke69 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I may be interested in the near future, but right now ive got a lot of shisha to last me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfaltous Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 The idea here is I'm trying to make you all comfortable with buying online as opposed to wasting large amounts of money for in-country purchases. Go to TDP or MNH, pick out your entire order, and let me know about it... I'll take the value of that order, with shipping to me, and then I'll add on the estimated shipping cost to send it from me to you. I am so confident that it will not have customs problems that if it does, then I will cover them myself. For payment, you'd have to pay me before I ship the order out to you (naturally). If you want to use Paypal for the extra security, that's fine but you'll have to tag on the additional fee amounts from them (2.9% + $1.05 per transaction). Otherwise I'm fine with taking checks (certified, or I'm waiting for them to clear) or money orders. Luke69 has done a couple trades with me in the past, you can talk to him to get an idea if I'm trustworthy or not... also I've done many orders with both TDP and MNH and I'm sure they'd vouch for me as far as credit goes Like I said, I'm doing this to make you guys more comfortable ordering over the border. Note that this will cost you more than ordering it on your own, as you will have to pay that extra step of shipping. Also, it will take longer to get to you because of that extra stop. I am not looking to make a profit by any means here, my intention is to charge directly what my costs are. However, I will try and save on shipping costs by bundling your orders with mine and other peoples' whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
