  Information for Canadian Buyers

 

The prices shown on this website are in US dollars.

Shipping costs:  The postal service "Priority Mail International" is the most economical way to ship scoreboards to Canada, and the cost is $70.70 for insured postage to anywhere in Canada.  The postal service doesn't have custom's broker fees, and they quote the time in transit to be 6-10 days for this service.  (We have seen it take 5 to 13 days.)  

UPS ground is an alternative that is faster and has a lower up-front cost (which varies with distance from Chicago, for example $40 to Toronto for two-day ground service, $44 to Edmonton for four-day ground service), but UPS has a custom's broker fee, typically in the $40-$60 range, which is collected when the package is delivered.  Express air shipments to Canada are of course available, at higher costs.

Duties:  There are no duties on the import of our products per NAFTA agreements--these units are made in the US.  

Taxes:  Experience so far is that the carrier will collect the Canadian GST and PST at the time the package is delivered, plus a $5 fee for handling the tax.  You may be able to get the GST and PST refunded for certain organizations--check with your tax accountant.

Reaching us:  If you have any problems reaching us on our toll free number, please call us at 630-323-4600 and let us know you are calling from Canada.  We will immediately return the call so the rest of the call is on us.

Thank you, and we look forward to serving you!
