Hey guys I was wondering if any Canadians here have imported a mill or anything really and had to deal with filing their own customs? I ordered a PM-25 as it seemed like all of the Canadian options weren't the greatest quality and I heard really good things about precision Mathews and the upgrades they have done. However after buying the PM-25 and trying to contact a broker I found out that the brokerage fees alone where 570$ plus everything else (taxes, processing fee etc) it turned out to be 1100$ not something I budgeted for and almost regret not just buying the king Canada mill and dealing with the quality issues. Precision Mathews said they have had a lot of people broker their own customs with no issues. I however have never done this or heard of how to do it. Has anyone here dealt with something like this? Any tips? Should I just get a refund or should I try to figure this out?
I thought the package would be shipped right to my door, but he said something about it being shipped to a freight terminal. Doesn't give me much to go by. Last thing I want is to find out my package is a 7 hour trip away from me. Just wanting others opinions or some feedback from people who have dealt with this before. Can I expect to pay the taxes (around 300$) Or am I gonna be hit with a whole ton of other fees?
Also I did see 1 post on here while searching about my question but it didn't leave any details that answered mine.
