Buying used from Canada


Hi, if you are based in USA and you buy used hifi from Canada do you get taxed on it when it arrives?  Talking about $2000ish.  Or if you use fed-ex will it come straight through?  Thanks for your time

@spoutmouzert I can't comment on importing into the US, but have imported in to the UK from the US, Canada, Mainland Europe, Australia and the Far East.

Some products brought In are bespoke, so have to rely on the idea, a supplier if at the time of a fault occurring will assist, be it ask for the device back, or converse with a UK based Tech' being asked to look into the fault.

Other Products brought In are more common but will have a design that is compatible with the Country of Origin, especially Operating Voltages.

Some Product might be quite rare as a item within your own Country.

It is best to inform on the Item being looked at to be purchased, the approx' Value Only at $2Kish does not allow anybody to advise if there is adequate support at hand to assist if the time arises it is needed.

An Older Generation and maybe even more recent model of a Martin Logan or Magnepan Speaker is a hard sale in the UK for the reasons of not having a sound knowledge of available maintenance only.

My cat went to China on vacation to watch fox news.when it came back i got a big tidy cat bill.my cat now believes it should only cat around in the usa. It is being paid 200$ a day to make protest signs.smarty cat! Enjoy the music until it all calms down

 I just ordered for 30 bucks each  two buffer with filters  to improve my pre-amp and my dac ...

Think about this: peanuts price for a product well designed , no tax, no postal fees, and in 2 weeks at my door ...

 The result is stunning day and night improvement of performance ...

 Except my 2 german  Headphones and my Sansui alpha from Japan all is chinese engineering...

Sometimes it is trash...(  I learned how to guess who is trustful who is not )

But sometimes a marvel at no cost...

No taxes no tariffs... 

No american company can make this buffer at this price with this quality...

They will sell it couple of hundred bucks... (Probably 400 or 500 bucks ) 

i dont have the budget  luxury to snob China products...

What is at our advantage, "poor " or low budget  audiophiles, is that there is more audiophiles now in China than in the US and more engineers working on  this market growing now with low cost good products ...

I hate Tariffs war...

 

 

Just FYI- just received my order from Stack in England from FedEx and there were no additional charges.  Whether I will get a notice in the mail I don’t know, but there  were no extras on delivery.
