Default Shipping

As for shipping it usually isnt too much of a problem, however if you really want less hassle go pick it up yourself. I dont know what are you are in but in Sumas there is a place called "Ship Happens" they are on the web. Ship it there and pick it up yourself, then all you pay is the tax. All depends on how close you are to the border. I am sure there is probably a place in Blaine too. I am 15 min from the Sumas border so I pick up all the time, If you are too far away it is probably worth paying the fee's and just get it shipped to your door. Brokerage fees are not always charged, sometimes it is a gamble. Good luck.

Aquasafe is in BC, so you won't face brokerage fees if you order from within Canada. Their website (which, admittedly, sucks) is http://www.aquasafecanada.com. They're pretty good about responding to emails and such.

When I bought mine it was shipped from within Canada. It wasn't a problem. This was about 5 years ago, 5 stage unit, price was about $120 to my door. Unit works well.

Same here, ordered and it was in my hands 4 days later with no brokerage charges. Took longer to get to me because I'm in Winnipeg.

ok i think iam going to oder one but did those of you that ordered get it from the aquasafe canada site(i cant find anything on the site about ordering?)or the place on ebay? the ebay place says no brokage or provincal sale taxes for canadian orders or something like that so it looks to be a good deal, but iam only 20min from chilliwack so i might phone that ship happens place tommorow and see what they charge,
