Beds from the U.S

Has anyone ordered beds from the states? Did you get nailed with a tonne of brokerage fees?

Comes with the territory. Brokerage fees, exchange rates, shipping, and maybe even duty............ Makes it tuffer to tan and make a living up here doesn't it?

Right, but I wanna know how much. I got my lamps from the states...95 of them and I think my brokerage fees were $40. Then I ordered lotion and saw $230 on my m/c from UPS. I can't imagine how much it would be for beds. Usually you just pay the GST and brokerage.

I have ordered beds new and used from the US. There is GST, Brokerage and sometimes Duty. That all depends on where the bed was made.

Who do you buy your lamps and lotoins from in the US. IF they don't do the proper paper work, then Canada Customs will fill in the blanks and charge you for what ever they think they can. And there isn't anything you can do.

Sandi, Call me anytime for lotions and lamps and even tanning units. I can get you a deal.

I bought my lamps from the states because I had a hard time finding Heraeus in Canada and when I did his cost before taxes was more than ordering them from the states including exchange, delivery etc.

Sandigirl,

If you dont mind me asking, were in the states did you order your bulbs from? and also how long did it take for them to get your order to you?

Thanks~!

I ordered them from URI which is in Ohio and closer to you than to me so it shouldn't be that long. They were held up because I didn't apply for a import number which takes 5 minutes to do.

It must be different buying fron the us in Canada. Because I bought my Tanses from the manufactor in Canada and it wasn't bad at all, no extra costs involved.

Thats because the Brokerage & taxes were in the final price. I am guess anyway.

Sandi Girl -- Yes try Tanses in Montreal if you are looking for Hereus Lamps. 450-622-4004 Ask for Kirk or Eddy. Hopefully that helps cut your costs a bit!!
