Buying knife from Canada

[KenHash]

I am thinking of buying a knife which will be shipped out via Canadian Post to the U.S.
Are there any concerns such as customs charges that I need to take into account?
Thanks VM.

I'm interested to learn the answer too.

None that. I am aware of. I've ordered knives from stores (warriors and wonders) and from embers on several occasions. It takes about 7 business days to get from whatever part of Canada to AZ.

I've had zero issues sending knives to the US. Done it at least a dozen times and not had any issues yet. I use Xpresspost (part of Canada Post) and they're quite quick. Shipper pays a bit more of course, but worth it. My average was 5 days or less, even with going thru customs and such. Not too shabby!

I never heard of the receiver getting charged anything so I assume all was good.

I'll say the same. Never had a problem sending knives to the US.

I've heard a few trials and tribulations going to Canada but none the other way.

If you don't have to pay import fees or taxes on out of country sales in your state, then you should be okay.
No one I ever shipped to mentioned any money they had to put out ..

Thanks everyone. Just ordered so we will see but relieved to hear others have
had no difficulties.
