          Are you importing the pants into Canada? If so, total damage will depend on the overall declared value of the items and method of shipment. Anything over a declared value of $50 and you’re looking at whatever your provincial sales tax is + federal and, if it’s being shipped by one of the big three (UPS, Fed EX, DHL) you can tack on an additional brokerage fee, which can vary. (Again, a % of the declared value of the shipment.)

            If importing from IHUK, there should be no import tax as we are covered by the CETA agreement.

              It's highway robbery. About half of the time customs dings me for 17% duty, 5% GST and 10% PST on the declared value plus a $10 handling fee. The rest get through with no fees.

                We now send Canadian shipments via UPS and mark the shipment "as sender pays any taxes and duty", so there should be no taxes paid by the receiver

                    Presumably a faster service where there is no risk of you paying tax or duty is better?

                      I’m never there for delivery and getting to a depot within UPS’s hours of operation when I am available is a pretty big inconvenience. But I know that is a “me” problem.

                      Edit: Unless something has changed in how IHUK fills out the paperwork, Parcelforce would get my parcels to me within a couple of days and, well, with respect to tax and duty, that hasn’t really been a problem…  😶

                        We can deliver to your work, or remove the signature requirement if that helps.

                          Yes, I suppose that is an option. Though, I do prefer to keep my personal life separate from my work life. Thanks for talking it through.

                            And Parcelforce (EMS) cost us 3x (yes 3 times) as much as sending via UPS, that is why we are prepared to pay any duties levied on UPS shipments

                                Any one have experience using a UPS Access Point? What is the process for having a personal parcel delivered to one?

                                  @Shoreman We have a number of customers who have items delivered to UPS Access points. Time they'll hold packages often varies but with usually flexible opening hours it's a good alternative to planning being at your home when the driver comes!

                                  We mark the shipment for the attention of the customer meaning proof of ID is required to collect. There are plenty of locations near you. You can search them all here.

                                  The devil is in the detail..

                                    Ah! Sounds promising…So, if I use my work address as the initial delivery address but prefer to have the parcel delivered to an Access Point, a picture ID, regardless of home address, will suffice for pick-up?

                                        That won't be a problem. I'll pop in and ask, just to make sure. Thanks, guys.

                                          Any one in canada have recent experience with ups from IHUK ? Duties, taxes etc? Want to place an order but don't want to get robbed. I know denimio uses ems and i have never got hit with any additional charges. Hoping IHUK is similar.
