I ordered a pair of loake's from there and got dinged with $40 fee.
Whatever eupheism you use is a criminal offence - don't do it. Saving the $100 or $200 isn't worth being arrested.
Did it show up through Canada post? I've always had the package just show up.
I just received a pair of shoes from grapevinehill. Cost of shoes $200 CAD. Cost of customs fees $62 (approximately 30%). I'm not amused...
Who's go to get arrested, the UK seller who lies about the value of the shoes for the benefit of the buyer, or the Canadian buyer whom the Canadian authorities suspect of instructing the seller to lie about the the value of the shoes?
From the sound of this thread, this seems to be the norm for shoes. On top of foreign exchange, paypal fees, international shipping fees, you get dinged another 30% at customs to buy some shoes from overseas. This is why buying from Sak's and Nordstrom's if you're in Canada is just not worth it.
Just tell them to send it as a gift and mark it low cost and you are good. I didn't pay a dime of taxes on my poor Cordovan CJs which stay in the closet. I even had them send me brushes and shoe polish too. I used http://plal.com/main/ though for the best price online.
