a shipping question

[faye]

(especially for Canadian Resident)
Hi, recently i have bought a stick ram, $137US.

plus $25 shipping to Canada.
137+25=$160US

then , when the ram is arrived to my house,
i need to pay $55.15CDN to delivery guy.
I paid anyway.

I just found out that there is a 7%GST + 7%PST + Brokerage Fee + Brokerage Fee GST = $55.15

First of all, i thought i only have to pay 7% of tax, but now i need to pay another 7%tax and Brokerage Fee.
I remember the first time(harddisk failure, new one return), i don't have to pay anything at all.
Is it true that everytime i order computer parts from US, i need to pay that much of extra money?

I don't have an answer for you... but that sure does suck. I'm guessing that having it sent to a Mailboxes Etc. near the border and then driving there is out of the question (in the future).
