What currency is that in? CDN? Seems a very high amount for tax and customs, when the shirt is probably worth what, $25-30?

wow that sucks, you have to pay the exact same price for what the t shirt would have cost if it wasnt free, in postage fees.

Screw that

It really sucked I got a bill for my shirt, but I didn't get the shirt.. for some reason it got sent back! Maybe they can hit me up and I can figure out with them what went wrong.. Fortunately Fedex reversed the charges, but getting the bill was the only way I knew it was even sent! LOl


CJ rocks though!

Wow, a 15.99 t-shirt tax? That's dumb as tits on toast. I should look into opening an international t-shirt smuggling ring. Maybe pay impressionable young kids with nothing to lose to wear them over the border.

On the bright side, you wear the shirt well. Enjoy it, and sorry for the hassle.

30 bucks for a tshirt? Gimme a break, rock shirts are printed for like 3-6 bucks here in LA

you can get shirts printed 4 color design in LA for like 5 bucks a piece.

not knocking the shirt at all, i just dont see how they can just charge you what they want, and it costs more than the shirt does.

weak.

fuck customs.

it's random too, most tshirts and gifts come right through the border without a problem. I even had electronics shipped here and got in no problem. And one time I got charged for a tshirt or a bottle of greygoose. It's all random and depends on the customs agent.

yep, they must "profile" the packages

so much for NAFTA and free trade... what ever happened to that?

Duty? Were the shirts going across the border?

Depends who's minding the store I guess. A friend bought a laptop DVD Drive from the US today, no duty, but $22 in postage.
