Kinda sucks but I had to pay customs fees and GST before they would deliver it. Add shipping (Express??) and paying double overall because of the crappy exchange rate and this has become one hell of an expensive hobby... Not to mention the time I'm going to take off work and all the extra coffee and pizza I'm going to have to buy while I'm trying it out. But I'm not complaining. P5 is all worth it and then some. ~Alchera

There was a brightly coloured sticker on the package that indicated that a certain brokerage firm may be collecting taxes on the shipment. Given that P5's declared value is USD 179.00, I'd say you're going to get an invoice for the taxes eventually.

If you live in Ontario, they will get you for GST and PST, 15% total. I do not believe that duty is charged on software anymore.

If you requested the chrome-plated overnight shipping, brokerage fees should already be included in the shipping charges. I think.

O.K. I'm in Alberta, Yes you pay for shipping and hand, and when I bought P4 an added unKnown tax for getting it. So I would think the same. I thought I could find out what it cost to get it, I can't order it till next week, from this thread. I think I'm looking at about 350 for it. Tashar 59
