ReefGeek
 

I was thinking about ordering a T5 light fixture from reefgeek. I was just wondering who else on the forums has ordered from them, what you ordered, what shipping method you chose and how much you paid in duties/brokerage fees. I am worried that I am going to get stuck with a huge brokerage fee if I chose UPS, and am worried that I might receive broken bulbs if I chose USPS Airmail. Please let me know! Thanks

I would be more worried about broken bulbs with UPS from my experiences.. :confused:

From my experience it is best to have them send it by the US Postal Service. You never have to pay brokerage. All you pay is GST, and the $5.00 handling charge. There is never any duty because of the Free Trade Agreement. Before anybody argues about the duty, that has been my experience with quite a few US orders. :mrgreen:

Quite often they wont even charge you GST or the $5 handling charge.
(At least from my experiences.)

Yes that is true. Some days when they don't feel like working they will forget it. :biggrin:

actually ontop of the GST you now have to pay PST.

I of course would not think of that because I live in Alberta. :mrgreen:

PFFFT.... we have tons-o-money we don't have no stinkin PST

yeah but squiddy lives in bc.

Sorry to hear that :razz: J/K
