Few Q's:

-How do they ship the item? USPS?
-Is their much duty on paintball items?
-How long does it usually take?
-Can anyone guess what 272$(ex tax) be in total?

Thanks

You'll have to call in your order as we can't use the store site since we're in Canada. When you do just ask for it to be shipped USPS (by far the best choice). You won't have to pay duty, but you will probably have to pay the taxes when it arrives (GST and PST if you have it). In terms of shipping time, 2 weeks is a good bet. Although I have had to wait up to 3 weeks and once had it in 4 days. So it varies (oh... and I'm in Toronto).

Hope this helps.

Well I just ordered and spoke with Marsha who said they only shipped Global Express to Canada bacause they lost too many packages with USPS over the summer. So hopefully I won't be killed by Duties. She also said they ship only once a week so I have to wait until the middle of next week.

Too bad.
You won't get hit with duties, but you may have some extra fees added. Anywhere from $5-$40.

Courier is going to charge you about $30 plus taxes on top of your purchase.

Unlikely Heroes is a total joke. Do a search in any Canadian forum. You will be hard pressed to find more complaints about someone.

Sounds like a good time to repeat myself. I've ordered Direct from AGD, through SMT and through UH. I've had no problems from any of the above, though UH has a horrendous reputation.

like whats a good online Canadian dealer?

Cause.. AGD is in USA.. and all those Duty fees and Brokerage stuff... I buy from my pro shop, SMT. :D

You shouldn't pay Duty as it's made in the USA. Free trade an all. Taxes are unavoidable and Brokerage depends on how it's shipped.

Here are the Canadian Dealers I know that deal with AGD direct:

Alter Ego Sports - http://www.alterego-sports.com

mrhooie - Splat E. - http://www.buysplat.com/

Unlikley Heros - http://www.unlikelyheroes.ca/

And my sponsor:
