Hi Evilpoly,

So you're in Canada too ?  Where did you find the information that it would cost 300$ in duty & taxes (!!!!??) if shipped I assume via USPS & Canada Post ? I have no idea what the situation is about duty & so on for 3D printers imports from Taiwan, and no idea if/how they would calculate and view the whole thing if they bring my unit by container to the US and then ship it from California to Canada by USPS as I have been trying to convince them to do to reduce cost. I was under the impression that going via the Express airmail direct from Taiwan via the private shipping Co. would in fact inflate the price.  

Did you speak to the Canadian customs about that supposed cheaper duty if we get our units by that private shipping company direct from Taiwan ? My experience with UPS, TNT,, FedEx, etc, is that their "private brokerage" firm is what usually dramatically inflate the cost of duty fees versus going via the national postal services.
