I started thinking why I don't buy things from iboats. Marine prices in Canada are expensive but when I check iboats prices are much better.<br /><br />So why don't I buy anything?<br /><br />With past experiences, when a 19.99 product ships to Canada shipping is comprable to shipping in U.S. but customs is not.<br /><br />That $19.99 product now becomes over $40.00 CDN an usually that turns out more expensive than buying it here.<br /><br />In addition, if I purchase a product and am not satisfied with, it is way too difficult to be refunded the duties on the product so you are stuck with it.....<br /><br />I only buy stuff on ebay from private sellers in the U.S. I have them address it as 'repaired item' which gets me out of duties. But iboats should and would not ever do this due to their own liability.<br /><br />Therefore I'm thinking of www.iboats.ca?<br /><br />If anyone would like to further discuss this personally, drop me a line at joe.sue.ferreira@sympatico.ca<br /><br />Boating is big here in Canada although a very short season. Retail sucks here.<br /><br />Just a thought.
