I purchased a Garmin 300c fishfinder from this Chinese on-line site. All sounded good I paid $156CDN for a new Garmin 300c fishfinder including shipping and insurance. I thought all was good until shortly after I sent the wire transfer and acknowledged they received my funds and were processing my order, I received an email saying the US customs had flagged the package and that I had to pay an extra $105USD to receive the package. I was specific with the Chinese company and asked if there were going to be any extra duties or taxes added. The person told me they would declare the item as a' gift' and that I wouldn't be charged anything extra. Sure enough two days after I send a money transfer in an email I'm informed that I owe customs 35 usd.+ additional tax is 37 usd.the VAT is 33usd.the total is 105 usd .
If you're in Canada or the US stay away from this company- they are intentionally misleading people-on their website there is an feedback section where people submit questions on-line-many questions are similar to mine-how much will shipping and insurance be? etc. and they are intentionally not telling potential customers the truth about all the taxes they will have to pay.
Do not order anything from this company
