I did not want to say it in the other thread, so I am glad it was said here. I never had any surprise shipping charges when my kilt came from N. California. Rocky makes a very good point here. If you are in USA, try and get it in the USA.

I can't speak to Canadian Customs (and for Canadian Companies), but we absorb all shipping costs from Scotland and all US Customs fees. Prices we quote our customers on our site are actual 'to your door' prices, many times with free shipping (on orders over $200) and mostly 'tax free' (ALL states except PA, where we only charge tax on applicable items). No surprises = happier customers.
