Sending Equipment out of Country for Repair/Servic

Hi guys

This is actually directed at my fellow Canadians on the site but anyone is perfectly welcome to chime in and share their experiences.

I'm considering purchasing used equipment but I'm wondering what happens when you need to send it out of the country for repair or servicing?

Specifically when it's shipped back to you. Do you still have to pay duties/customs? Are you still charged with the fabulous %15 Canadian sales tax even though you own the equipment?

Is there a way around this?

Are there any other issues/gotchas with having to do this aside from the risk of shipping damage?

Hi Acheung

Did your dealer handle all the shipping arrangements or did you personally(without dealer involvement) deal with the company yourself?

Thanks for your response so far!

Hi Steve

You're right, there are a lot of great Canadian audio companies but it's all about having choices. I don't want to feel restricted as I peruse all the for sale ads here on this great site.

You know what they say about the grass always being greener on the other side :-)
