Ok so I ordered the vagabond mini a week ago. I was doing some calculations and may have discovered a small ripoff depending on where you live in canada.
Ok so when you order there are 2 types of shipping options for canada. There is the standard ups ground and ups worldsaver. Worldsaver claims to save you the hassle of suprising over the top brokerage fees but it does not cover the gst or pst in your province. Lets do the math.
Worldsaver option: Item+shipping=$369 plus another $28 for gst and pst(hst in some provinces). That's a total of $397
Standard ground ups: item $239, shipping $34, taxes and brokerage $92(I called and checked). Thats a total of $365
I don't know what it's like for other places in canada and other items but here in B.C. if you are ordering the vagabond mini, the worldsaver option doesn't save you anything.
