Just so I remember correctly, its $10 plus regular tax on top of what it costs on Amazon UK to ship to Canada right?

[jonnyrockets]

ONLY if it comes via UPS. Most of the time there are no extra charges - the only times I've seen extra charges are on a few larger items. Helms Deep, a train set, and I think maybe Goblin Battle. Saying that - large Technic Helicopter, Mines of Moria, and another train set came with no extra charges.

I've done it once through amazon.UK and they went through UPS. I live in Ontario and I've reqd others that live in Ontario that have ordered through Amazon UKthat have gone through UPS. Seems like Ontario orders will go through them :( . If its through UPS, it only becomes around 25% off but without, it's about 30% or more.

I think it depends on the shipper, like most say UPS has their import handling fee or whatever it is called. I have only ever ordered once and it came through DHL and there were no surcharges.

I live in Ontario and have gotten DHL before, but my shipment came from Germany so that might be why. Who knows though, its a crapshoot.

I second that! Not worth it if sent by UPS, and highly likely it will be for those that like in Ontario. Right now the set is at around $60 but after the UPS charges, tax and all then it will be $80+, which is around 20% for us that live in Ontario. Deal or no deal? Well absolutely NO DEAL!

I've bought a few lego sets from Amazon.uk and quite honestly it's the only place I look for the absolute best deal on lego even when factoring shipping costs. Bought two Vampire Castles a month ago when they were on for 60 pounds each. Subtract the 16.7% and only 8 pounds for shipping total and when it was all said and done they cost me only $80 each. I live on the west coast of Canada and the lego arrived in perfect condition and only took 7 business days. :) Normal prices on Amazon.uk are generally high, but they often have huge discounts and that's the time to buy I think!

Also Star Wars 9516: Jabba's Palace is down 49 %

[Hodgeman]

I'm in Ontario and have orders shipped via UPS and DHL - as leppg said, the DHL orders have come out of Germany. I wish there was a way to tell in advance, but it seems rather random.

[ricefields]

Also Star Wars 9516: Jabba's Palace is down 49 %

amazon inflated the msrp, the msrp should be 120, so really 44% off. When converted to your country's currency, its not that good of a deal at least for US or canada (with the current sale promotions on this)

It doesn't seem to ship to Canada.

[aemil]

Don't know how amazon UK charges for US or Canada shipping, however for Europe it's an extremely good price as you get the free shipping as well

Well I ordered a Quinjet and A goblin King yesterday and it turns out they shipped via UPS so boo. Still works out to be about 90$ for the goblin and 60$ for the Quinjet which is still not that bad. Unlikely to find a better deal right now unless you hop over to the states and get off without having to pay taxes/duty.

But that's $60 before the "UPS tax" and regular tax. After that, it's around 20-25% off, which still isn't bad I guess. The 30% off coupon about a week ago with Chapters would have probably gave me a better piece of mind without worrying whether Amazon UK delivers via DHL or UPS. It's temping though, as I've been thinking on and off on the QuinJet set but I can't get myself to pull the trigger.

[leppg]

That Is actually after UPS charges. I added in the 10$ fee and 13% tax.

Which is about 35% off Canadian Retail and there's nothing wrong with that.

I'm getting 33.33 + 4.95 = 38.29 pounds when I'm shipping to Ontario. Through the google converter, that turns out to be around $59 Canadian. Then you gotta add UPS charges and regular tax.

[leppg]

Yea but that's ordering just the one thing. Shipping gets cheaper per item as you add more and it also dilutes the UPS charge.

Also my 35% is an average of the items so that might be part of the difference

OH...ok that makes so much more sense. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be doubting you; just assumed everyone bought one item at a time.

[ricefields]

don't forget no one gets the bank rate or xe.com rates so add 2-3% on top - I got about $155 for the two so thats a pretty good deal. I bought the goblin king on its own as a trial (when it went for $47) to determine ups or dhl and that did not end up being as good a deal because of the ups fee and no spreading of the fee to other sets. ended up around $95-96 depending on your conversion rate used.
