    Very interesting... Which is actually a double bonus. Because it lowers the cost of the items which should lower the cost of the tax/duty charges accordingly as they are a percentage... Or maybe tax/duty will be based on the non-discounted price.
    Either way I am interested to see how this all works out.
    Thanks Donny for the info.

    Duty and tax is based on price paid. The non discounted price would have no bearing in the equation.

    Ok did some more math
    Jetstream and Stormfront if you could find one 30 off local would be.
    315.00 for Jetstream compared to 297.00 for Guide jacket
    666.00 for Stormfront compared to Yukon at 541.00
    So the guys who say its cheaper if you can find it on sale are not correct on these two items at least. At 40 percent off the Kuiu would still be cheaper.
    At these prices I quoted for Kuiu I added the exchange at x1.33 for exchange, ×1.12 for taxes, and x1.18 for duty. Then x.30 and x.40 then subtracted that number from the list price for the sitka then x1.12 for taxes. I hope this is close lol.

    Thanks for doing the math. I'd done the math before and, as much as it hurt to be hit with close to $500 in duty on my first order. Glad I'm only 30 minutes from the border as my subsequent orders have been "pop down and pick up" orders.

    Funny because my wife called KUIU a couple of days ago about our refund and the representative said he knew about the posts on hunting forums in BC.
