Cost of ordering two puzzles at once

Post by 757driver »

Has anyone in Canada or the USA ordered two puzzles at once vs. just one? Did the extra "Declared Value" trigger duty and/or taxes? The reason I am asking is I want two more and if shipped together the shipping will be less but it might trigger duty and taxes which would offset the benefit of shipping together.

Just received a single puzzle in the mail and there was no duty or taxes.

I've got two sent at once... (orange and gold a couple christmases ago into the US). As far as i could tell i saved money shipping them together. I couldn't speak for CA. Hope that helps!

There is no import duty or taxes on puzzles imported into the US. Not sure about Canada.

If you have them sent to a commercial or business address in Canada you will likely get a duty charge ( I have a few times). A residential address seems to escape the wrath of the tax man.
