Ordering from the States

So I ordered some books from a US website because it was cheaper to order direct from the publisher ... they came yesterday by UPS AND there was a $50 CDN COD duty charge! This is almost 1/2 of the price of the books!

Needless to say I sent them back. The UPS guy said that it happens all the time when people order from the States. Websites don't identify that there will be duty charges.

Hopefully they'll refund my order and I'll order from Amazon.ca or Chapters.ca ... no duty!

Live and learn!
