The math and facts about the pricing once you factor it all in the cost is above $500 CAD, close to $550 CAD.

Reads to me like someone wants to have the last word,
show us a receipt when you buy the set then there'll be facts or screen cap an order page. If you're not buying the set, I see no need to argue and even if you are buying the set still no need to argue. Until then it's speculation.

Why do I need a receipt when the numbers are available on the TFSource website, Automaton Toys website etc.

It is REALLY easy to figure out the costs by going through the checkout process and seeing it for yourself.

Sounds like YOU want the last word in just to be mister superior.

Edit:

TFSource: $399.99 + $36 for basic shipping + Duties
Automaton Toys: $429.99 + 12.99 for basic shipping + 13% HST

As for duties, yes TFSource will get you hit with duties, purposefully under declaring a shipment at the border will get your business shut down and fast.

Please stop trying to start a flame war. No one wants this thread shut down.

No duties through TFSource. BBTS, oh for sure. Each and every time. But never with TFSource. I don't now why to be honest. I've even had a conversation in length with a nice lady from BBTS regarding the duties from them over TFSource.

A shame. I stopped using BBTS just because the duties always push the price of the figures over an amount I feel is an acceptable price.

I've also never been hit with duties from RK, but their shipping costs have gone bonkers over the last year so I don't use them at all anymore.

Sounds like TFSource is under declaring - all it will take is an audit and they'll be shut down for that.
There are hefty fines for both shipper and consignee for under declaring shipments.

Wow! Who cares at this point, like talking to the wall!

I for one am excited about Quantron and glad I have the means to also have MMC Predaking! :-)
Everyone enjoy and spend their money how they see fit!

Yup I don't care anymore. No need to stress arguing with him. I also will enjoy my Quantron set at $466 CAD shipped to me I also will enjoy my MMC Predaking once he is complete (got Bovis, Fortis and Leo Dux already and preordered the 2 missing pieces to complete him. Can't wait til they all released)

I have figured out why people get dinged for duties/customs with BBTS, I've noticed on their shipping labels that even though it may go through the United States Postal Service the labelling and processing is done by those brokerage charging bastards UPS, lol. If anyone has anything from BBTS lately they may notice a small UPS logo in one of the corners of the shipping label.

Mystery solved!

Good to know, but is there a way to avoid this duties for shipments from BBTS?
