Aquanerd Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Well today I finally gave in and bought some cool new things for my aquarium.

What you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 "The Recharge Centre" Used Co2 Cylinder $75 Filled?? Do I remember you saying it was a 20lb? What a deal! I'd say it looks like you got yourself a nice early Christmas Present! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Also I bought a digital pocket scale from there +- .1 grams $37.50 US Too bad you are not in Calgary, so we can't do "rent a scale" thing ... :hey: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquanerd Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Well these cheap things are costing me a fortune in shipping fees. :cry: So far from Best labs since they sent everything to me in single LARGE boxes, even for the smallest of things, has cost me over a hundred dollars in duties and taxes. :cuss: I payed $25 for a $2.77 thing. I keep receiving invoices from Fed-EX... Never again will I buy anything from the states ever! GOOOOOO :ml: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience with the order. However, my dealings with Canada Customs and FedEx is quite opposite. There was no a single cent on the top of the actual cost+shipping ($69+12) for the same item. Not to mention there was no GST.

Dave Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Fed-Ex was good to me as well. I did have major problems with UPS though, charging a 30$ brokerage fee on a 20$ item.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
