Hardhead Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Ordering from Canada isn't bad, especially from Solen. There's no problem with shipping and no delay or extra expense from customs. I've done it several times with absolutely no problems--and they're nice folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done it several times with absolutely no problems--and they're nice folks. there are extra expenses according to their website U.S. Custom Requirements: Companies must provide their Income Revenue Service Number and individuals must provide their Social Security Number . U.S. Custom Duty:There is a 1.2% Custom Duty charge on inductors, a 4.9% Custom Duty charge on loudspeaker parts and a 10% Custom Duty charge on capacitors imported in the U.S.A. to be paid by the customer when he receives his order. Mail Orders of less than US$ 1250.00:A US$ 5.00 U.S. custom processing fee and a US$ 3.40 post office charge to be paid to the Post Office when you receive your order. UPS Orders of less than US$ 1250.00: A US$ 2.00 U.S. custom merchandise processing fee and a US$ 17.50 custom broker charge to be paid to the Custom Broker when you receive your order.

Deang Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Well, I don't know what all the gibberish is for -- I order from them quite often and have never had to worry about any of that stuff. I'm calling in an order next week, and if you don't want to mess with it just send me the money and I'll order the parts for you. You're building ALKs I see. Go with 12AWG on that air core for the woofer -- 10AWG if you can afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
