If you DO owe taxes on the item, DHL will MAIL you an invoice.  So, Opt2Not, you likely haven't received your invoice yet, or the items were not subject to taxation.

Hmmm, you are probably right. It's been quite a few months since my last DHL shipment, so far I haven't yet to pay a DHL invoice. But I never got anything crazy, mostly standard stuff.  Though, my loyalty still stands with them, their service is light-years ahead of the rest.

OH I agree, I forgot to mention that when they DO charge you, their fees are very reasonable, though I understand they may have been raised in the last year or two. I'd still use them over UPS any day.

FedEx I have no experience with. I have no reason to believe they'd be any better than the postal service.

Lastly, repeating my warning: If you order from Happ, and you select "DHL" as delivery because of what you read here, they will process your order, CHANGE it to UPS and ship your order. All without telling you or asking for your consent.

As a fellow Canadian I have ordered from almost everywhere and you can't really go wrong. The prices at Playdium are really not bad and they ship very quickly, Ok maybe not as quick as Andy in the UK ;)

But seriously, you can't go wrong ordering from anywhere when we live in Canada...I have ordered from the UK/Germany/US/Japan and it's all fine just do your research.

As Ray alluded to, it's more the shipping method than the vendor...just research your shipping method. I have found for example that coming from the US I prefer good ole USPS to Canada Post handoff for shipping etc.

Rick - I live in Burlington...I got all my stuff from GGG, divemaster and Lizard Lick. All Canada friendly, all fast shipping. I found Canadian suppliers didn't have the selection or good websites I wanted.

As mentioned, always ship USPS and you'll be fine.

AndyWarne:
We ship to Canada pretty much on a daily basis via DHL and never received any complaints...

Some of our in-bound packages use UPS but their service is nowhere close to DHL.

Fedex are good but really expensive. We sometimes send Fedex when a customer requests billing to his account.
Last week our Fedex driver excelled even his usual fast response when he arrived 2 minutes after I booked a collection online!
