Pocket Bikes - Group Buy (Got the final figures in) - Testing waters

It might be more than $80.....
UPS ALWAYS charges a brokerage fee.
Basically everything has to go through customs. But UPS has a "deal" with customs. They do the paper work for them. As a result they charge YOU extra $$$ to do this work. They won't ever tell you how much a head of time it's a crap shoot.
I had to pay $30 brokerage on a $100 computer case, + 15% tax + duty.
USPS is the safest way but these bikes might be too big or too heavy.

Ok here:

Looks like $50 USD
So I was close $70 CDN in brokerage fee + duty and taxes.

Finalize everything by next weekend. If we go shipping in one big package we save on shipping as well as brokerage fees.
How much is the shipping going to cost? That can only be said once we place our orders. But the dealer said $50 USD for every bike if they are to be shipped seperately. We might save some if we get them all i one big bunch.
