Dan668 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Has anyone tried ordering one from the states? The 2pc? Wondering what duties and extras I'll be hit with. My brother needs a rod. The compre I can get for dirt cheap but reviews seem poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Razor Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I heard that with the shipping duties and taxes adds another $100 to the cost.... Was thinking about ordering one as well until I heard that. I just went with a st croix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) Just ordered a rod from the US.. Free shipping, and I paid $30 in duty/tax/brokerage (Rod was $200).. No complaints. Make sure the company uses USPS, if they don't forget it. Edited September 11, 2013 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan668 Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) I normally ship Ups (Worldwide Saver) and fedex (Express Air) . Ends up being cheaper than usps most of the time. You just have to understand the different shipping methods they offer. Most tackle shops in the states charge 15-25 for rods/reels, and i get them next day and just pay the tax. (which USPS charges anyways, plus the $10 handling fee) Anyways, just was wondering if anyone has used/ordered the two piece. Figured it may save me on shipping. Ill probably just msg him for the shipping method/prices. Too bad etackle doesn't have them anymore, my first one came from there.

I ordered a $200 dollar rod from the musky shop... $80 brokerage fee from fed ex... Plus tax and shipping.... In the end it was about 350 for a $200 rod... I was wild... USPS doesn't hit you with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handlebarz Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 NEVR get items shipped to Canada by UPS or FEDX as stated above there broker fees will make you cry. That is where they make all there money on shipments to Canada they clear every load and your left crying at home. USPS the worst you will get is Canadian duty fees and a $5 Canada customs fee to open the package is they actually do open it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try WorldWide Saver with UPS. I order tackle from the states on a monthly basis and only pay the tax, and its next day shipping. Anything thats ground will get raped because of the brokerage fees. My Cal D 401 costed me 265 with shipping by UPS, i only paid $30 at the door. tax. I didnt see the rods on etackle. Wiser offered to sell me one, so im happy.
