    Not entirely true turpin, I only paid $30 cdn for duties on the jacket/waistcoat combo I got from them, $35 on the 8 yard handsewn kilt, and $0 on the dress sporran I have gotten from them in the past 2 years. Not bad at all. I am glad it was UPS not Fedex or I would have really been nailed for duties and taxes.

    If I remember correctly, as a comonwealth nation Canada has a special relationship with the UK with respect to import duties. In any case, the duty itself for me was $42 (12.5% of the stated value), but Fedex charges a $25 fee for pocessing a "formal entry". That's my real gripe, being charged twice for that.
