Hello all!

Is the any other canucks out there who may be able to give me an idea of how long shipping to canada will take?

Thanks.

Yeah, mine left Saberforge 12 days ago and got here today. It really depends how long it sits in customs. Also be ready for some import charges. (Still totally worth it of course :P)

How was yours classified?

I found a customs calculator online and it seemed like my 2 sabers would be about $100, if they were classified as electronics or toys or novelties. I couldnt see them being classified as anything else.

Strange. I've never paid customs on any of my SF orders to Canada.
And yes, shipping time depends on how long it takes to go through customs and then what city you're located in for how long it takes to get there from the sorting facility. So it varies slightly.

Customs is done at your local post office, i believe, so if the postal worker processing your package is busy or lazy, they might not bother with vustoms charges.

Im hoping i will luck out and that will happen.

Edit: NAFTA also gaurentees that a certain value can come across the border duty-free. If you only ordered one saber then it might have squeezed in under that limit, but i dont think 2 champion sabers will.

I've had 2 champions arrive (twice) and still no charge. I have 5 SF sabers in my collection (about to be 7) and paid no extra customs fees on any of them.

Hmmm, well maybe i wont have to pay any customs on them at all, then.

That would certainly be nice!

Edit: if any other canadians are interested, they entered canada yesterday morning and had cleared customs by 7 yesterday evening. They went from saberforge to portland in a day, sat in portland for 2 days, then went south to san fransico, then north again into canada, but it doesnt say which city. Im assuming vancouver. Assuming it was on a plane to winnipeg today, i should have it tuesday or wednesday, perhaps earlier(i dont know if canada post works on saturdays or if they will be working on victoria day). I got pickup notification monday
