Recieved my LPP today! *updated with pics*

When I received my Pro Park it was delivered by a Canada Post van. I did not pay anything for custom. Just had to sign for the package. :wink:

That's what I'm hoping for......... :wink:

Guys, if you ask from the seller to ship the LPP as a small packet with recorded delivery, you won't pay anything to customs. Postal service is too busy to check letter-mailed small packets. They are paying attention usually to packet mail.
I'm using to do this since always when ordering from outside the E.U., and never had problems 8) .

What is the lens made of? Is it plastic / polycarbonate, glass, something else? Perhaps you could try those "plastic polish" ones to smooth it out?

i had my ZR3 on my car for a week and have a few minor scratches on it. its bound to happen as soon as you take your car on the road. i think that it should be tested as-is becuase that'll happen in the real world anyway.

and idk about plastic polish...that might reduce some of the light output...i dont really know at all tho, but if it were me, i wouldnt try it :D

nothing against you, just giving my two cents :)

Oops you're right I read your post wrong...

Offhand I don't know... isn't there something like NAFTA with Canada and EU? I remember there was a "EU / Canada Trade Initiative" a couple years ago but don't remember the actual terms or if it ever went through.

here is some customs tariff information on the government website http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/menu/D11-f.html in French and http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/menu/D11-e.html in English...

You are right ,Nafta is implemented , when Roy sent me my m-20 , I asked ups to give me a Harmonized Code , with this number on the bill it passed no-duty , electronic items are free between Usa/Canada.

I always use the most expensive route /ups/fedex Int'l Express , this way the broker fees are included , the surface way is less expensive but they will charge you broker fees even if the item does not carry customs charges :!:
