Re: Where to get import toys for cheap

any Ontarians order from captured prey and have to pay customs? Their base prices seem to be the best for almost anything I'm interested in buying, and it seems their shipping charges are cheaper than even TF Source.

I've ordered from TFsource and found their service to be great and the shipment to be literally bulletproof in terms of packaging.
They also label your shipment as sample or gift so that you won't need to pay the customs charges.

automaton, kool toys, or ages 3 and up are the canadian vendors, but they gauge you on the pricing, especially since they charge tax too.

BBTS, TFSource don't charge tax, so with the canadian dollar on par, it'll be cheaper.

Every order I've done was fine, even one over $700, great packing, fast shipping, and easy to deal with

Re: Where to get import toys for cheap

hmmm wierd large orders from BBTS and i have only got hit once with a $22.48 customs charge on a $389.59 usually get shipped by airmail too. All of our sponsors here on cybertron.ca are good but yes they do charge tax and are priced a little higher.

Yes. I got hit when I ordered United Stepper from them. This is why I buy from Canadian retailers now.

Online Retailers

Hey guys, just wanted people's opinions on who the better online retailers are (i.e. fair prices, good customer service, etc). I don't want to give my money to the wrong people and get cheated in the end. Any advice here is much appreciated.

Re: What Online Retailers to buy from?

If anyone has ordered from BBTS, TFSource or Robot Kingdom have you been hit with a customs charge at any point? I am leaning towards TFSource because I have heard they really protect the items when shipping. How is BBTS and Robot Kingdom in that regard?
