Howdy, Fam- I've run into a bit of a problem with an item I recently purchased from a seller in GB. The item was a pr of cufflinks that cost 8.51 GBP. I've received an email form a shipping service called EVRi, stating that I owe them $17.32 CAD for Customs and Duties. In the past, as long as my purchase was under 10 GBP, I was not assessed any extra fees for delivery. This was for items shipped through the British version of the GSP. I've emailed the seller about this, and I've been trying to contact EVRi as well- It seems that I have 5 days to pay the charge, or the item is sent back to the seller. So, my questions are- If I don't pay EVRi, and my packet is sent back to the seller, am I out of pocket? Does anyone here have any information as to what the tax threshold is on items shipped to Canada? Thanks for your time,wildcat
