Fast shipping and no extra fees! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shop-canadian#post-2429941 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 17:18:56 +0000 Snowybreeze 2429941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Great customer service always wins my loyalty! I'm sure I would make trips to the store if I'm close by. I will definitely check their online site for my next pregnancy. lol yes, we're not done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shop-canadian#post-2429940 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 17:16:51 +0000 Snowybreeze 2429940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: <a href="http://evymama.ca/" rel="nofollow">http://evymama.ca/</a><br /> If you go, let me know how the store is :)<br /> The manager is super nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shop-canadian#post-2429938 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 17:15:38 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2429938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowybreeze: Evymama is right down the road from me! It's a great store, I'm so glad they could help you out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shop-canadian#post-2429928 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 17:10:58 +0000 Autumnmama79 2429928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowybreeze: Score on the coat! Yes, in hindsight there probably is a brick and mortar here that would have done the photo mugs... </p> <p>Never heard of Envymama, going to check it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shop-canadian#post-2429910 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 17:00:52 +0000 Snowybreeze 2429910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: yikes! that is expensive for two photo mugs. Is there a Canadian friendly photo place around? :happy:<br /> I really wanted The M Coat, but first glance at the price of 495CAD made me :crying: , then I found Evymama, it was on sale for 425 CAD, with exchange rate it was around $320. Then they had a sale 5 hours after I placed the order. The price went back up to 485CAD but with 25% off it was 363CAD, so it was $250 USD. I contacted Evymama and they gave me the price adjustment! awesome service. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shop-canadian#post-2429901 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 16:52:56 +0000 Autumnmama79 2429901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice to be an american consumer these days! I'm in Canada and bought two photo mugs from shutterfly and after the exchange rate they were $78. lol</p> <p>I bought some lux pjs from a California retailer early in this pg and they were $220 after the exchange rate. </p> <p>Shop Canadian indeed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shop-canadian#post-2429896 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 16:50:20 +0000 Snowybreeze 2429896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Received my coat and didn't encounter any difficulties with duties. Same as usual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shop-canadian#post-2373623 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 20:07:46 +0000 erinbaderin 2373623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, Canadian prices are always higher than US, which is supposed to make up for the exchange rate, even though we still paid more for everything when the dollar is at par, not that I'm bitter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shop-canadian#post-2373482 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 17:30:53 +0000 sera_87 2373482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: there is no duty charged on stuff coming from Canada. Now coming INTO Canada, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shop-canadian#post-2373453 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 17:05:28 +0000 sunny 2373453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowybreeze: No idea how it works here, though I googled and found this: <a href="http://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/internet-purchases" rel="nofollow">http://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/internet-purchases</a></p> <p>The rules seem very unclear for items purchased online. It actually sounds easier to just shop in person across the border and use your personal exemption when you return. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shop-canadian#post-2373427 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:42:36 +0000 Snowybreeze 2373427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sunny, I was afraid of that too, I was gonna google for information but got kind of lazy and just hope for the best...do you know how that works exactly? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shop-canadian#post-2373396 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:29:26 +0000 sunny 2373396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just an FYI - going through customs doesn't just take longer, they may impose a duty, depending on the item. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shop-canadian#post-2373379 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:19:15 +0000 Snowybreeze 2373379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha, I just did this past weekend! and unknowingly my credit card company charged a $10 foreign transaction fee. Didn't know that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shop-canadian#post-2373364 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:06:30 +0000 BSB 2373364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$50 CAD is $37 USD!! Yes!! </p> <p>Though shipping and going through customs might make things take longer. Still a nice discount on some things. </p>
