Ordering from bb.com in Canada? Shipping question.

**Dedicated37** · 07-09-2008, 07:45 PM

I'm from Ontario, Canada and want to order 3 items from bb.com which come out to a total of $150. For 2 products I can buy here from Popeyes Supps I can get 3 from bb.com and this INCLUDES shipping!! That's pretty good.

My question is about shipping. 1 of the products that I'm buying isn't sold in Canada and was wondering if my shipment will still go through and everything will be fine. As well for those who have ordered living in Canada from bb.com how have shipping times been for you?

As well I was wondering if there were any taxes on top of my order total that I see on the bb.com order page? or is that the final price?

Thanks

To NB it took like 2 weeks, no taxes, ordered some pretty heavy stuff from here and another site and had no issues.

I'm ordering 3 products out of the above... damn 2-3 weeks that kinda sucks... I was hoping for about 1 week, oh well the prices are better on bb.com that's for sure.

Took me 15 business days, so 3 full weeks and a bit more...Always order in advance, never order when low on supps

So there are no taxes whatsoever coming from BB.com to Canada and the total I see at the bottom of the cart is all I'm going to pay?

**ny_chow** · 07-10-2008, 06:18 PM

takes me 3 weeks in vanouver. should be faster for u since all packages go thru customs in t.o.

BTW CANUCKS RULE!!! DEMITRA AND SUNDIN COMING NEXT

**Dedicated37** · 07-10-2008, 06:19 PM

no taxes, no duty. i just ordered recently, the shipping info says 4-9 days or whatever, i think mine took 14 days in total, and im in vancouver. the tracking with canadapost sucks though, sometimes it said it was electronically entered in ont., and then other days the number didnt even show up in their system. it made it though. ive ordered from other sites as well, da took about as long if not longer and i had to pay duty. supremem (nplanet, i think sm is gone) was the fastest, roughly a week or so, and they always wrote "gift" on the order and way under valued it so i never payed tax or duty. the stuff you ordered will be fine also, ive gotten many prosteroids/prohoromones through without a hitch.

**take1** · 07-10-2008, 06:41 PM

2 weeks to Edmonton. No tax no duty. Great deal. Priceless!

**STomlinson23** · 07-10-2008, 06:43 PM

I'm in Ontario and ordered Saturday, got it 2day but the shipping on heavy stuff gets a little pricey, i think i paid $20 for shipping tho

**Ndeserranno** · 07-10-2008, 06:45 PM

Im pretty sure bb.com wont let you buy the items that are not allowed to be shipped to canada.

havent had any trouble yet, and i have got lots of products that arnt sold by canadian distributors come through

**Heaney** · 07-10-2008, 06:49 PM

That would be correct.

**Dedicated37** · 07-24-2008, 09:40 AM

See the thing is is that I'm ordering quite a bit of stuff on this order I'm making... which is about $500... so there are like 4 tubs of whey, etc... making the order very heavy, will this affect it getting through customs or what not?

**RADIRON** · 07-24-2008, 10:04 AM

the whole NO TAXES OR DUTIES thing is not true. it's true ONLY if you ship USPS (Canada Post), which is more money. If you ship UPS or Fedex, your items are subject to a higher percentage of inspection by Customs and ALL appropriate taxes and duties. Canada wants their taxes even if you buy out of country. The ONLY way to avoid this, legally, and avoid possible seizure, is to choose USPS and HOPE that customs doesn't check it.

**jpetitclerc** · 07-24-2008, 10:18 AM

Don't worry, I just got Carnitine & Yohimbine from US into Canada, LOL.

Actually Canada Post is the CHEAPER shipping method to Canada which I'm going with. USPS / Fedex are to the USA only...

Have you ever ordered anything from BB.com to Canada?

To everyone, am I right in saying this? and is the no taxes / duties thing still true?

**jpetitclerc** · 07-24-2008, 10:37 AM

Actually, I have to agree.

If you order with Fedex, you have like 80% of paying customs.

About 50% with USPS.

About 40% with Canada Post.

I'm taking that % with my past experience by the way. I just got an order from the USA to Canada in 1 days with Fedex Priority. And they just charged me 21.36$. But I usually don't care because i'm too happy, since i'm usually pretty happy when I received my supplements, LOL, especially when I receive illegal stuff to Canada, like Carnitine & Yohimbine, like I just did, LOL.

What shipping method to Canada did you choose on checkout? I don't see where you can choose Fedex Priority...

Damn, so they actually charged you on the products.... hmm if that is really true, this sucks because I'm about to make a huge order...

**jpetitclerc** · 07-24-2008, 10:42 AM

For the last order, it wasn't on bb.com. There was a clearance sale on another website, for some Orange Triad and REDuction, haha.

Alright, so the last order you made (which WASN'T from bb.com) you were charged that duty/tax... but did you also get charged when you ordered from bb.com to Canada? as people above are saying that they didn't get charged anything...

No Taxes or Duties? Some guys in this thread are saying their is taxes/duties... majority are saying there are none though...

**jpetitclerc** · 07-24-2008, 10:49 AM

The website changes nothing buddy.

By the way, BB.com don't ship illegal stuff.

Like if you try ordering let's say a product containing Carnitine in, you'll get a message at checkout saying they can't ship that product to Canada because it contains Carnitine. That's an example.

Those other people above are saying that their is not taxes or duty..?

if your package is one of the UNlucky ones to get opened at Customs (UPS has a HIGH rate while Canada Post has a LOW rate of inspection), you WILL PAY TAXES AND DUTIES. it has zero to do with who you buy it from. bb.com cannot control a country's policies. If you get your item shipped Canada Post (which starts out as USPS in the US and then they hand it off to CP), you stand less of a chance of getting inspected and therefore forced to pay taxes than if you choose UPS or FedEx.

Alright I see, but I don't think I have the option of choosing UPS or FedEx as both say "USA only"...

Thank you for the info.

**jpetitclerc** · 07-24-2008, 11:17 AM

Look, if you have choice. Take UPS.

If you have to pay with UPS. You would had have to pay with Fedex, LOL.
