B&H Offers Tax & Duty Included Ground Shipping to Canada

B&H Photo Video, one of the largest and most reputable US-based stores, has just made available an exciting new feature for Canadian customers. They now feature Ground Purolator shipping to Canada.

This is exciting for Canadian consumers because:

• Ground Purolator shipping is a much more affordable option, when compared to the previous UPS Expedited option. Our quick check shows that shipping costs are, on average, 50% less! Most items ship for less than $20, which is competitive with Canadian retail store shipping.
• B&H Calculates the Tax & Duty & Brokerage, and charges you at time of sale. That means the final price you pay to B&H is the final price to you. No more surprises, and no worrying about the tax bill from your courier when your shipment arrives.

Don't forget that many photographic items are covered by US/Canada or Worldwide Manufacturer Warranties, so many items you purchase from the US often come with warranty coverage in Canada. You can read our article on warranties for all the information. If you're new to buying from the US, you can also read about Tax, Duty, and Brokerage Fees when buying from the US.

What's included in the final B&H price? All taxes, duties, and brokerage fees are included in the final number when you select Purolator ground shipping.

• Tax: Your local sales tax (GST + PST, or HST depending on province). If you're not in an HST province, only GST is charged (no PST). No taxes are due at delivery.
• Duty: Most camera equipment is duty free. If what you're buying is not, duties are included as well.
• Brokerage Fees: Purolator brokerage fees of $0.50 + 3% of owed tax/duties (disbursement) are calculated and included in the final price.
