lenses in Canada

[gui_999]

I want to buy my lenses in canada but I can't find a place where I can buy them. I check the alan's site but I think it's a bit pricy. Custom fee are just too high!

Each time I want to buy something here in Québec I just can't find the parts! 😡 😡 Took my 2 weeks just to find my ballast!

So, any website where I can buy my condenser, projection and fresnel lens in canada?

hey
Im in toronto and allan shipped the lenses to me but he made the customs think its a commercial sample, email him to ask if he'd do the same for your order

Most people on ebay will ship to Canada, even if it says "Will ship to United States only"

It just says that in the auction because its the default option and people forget to change it.

I've won tons of auctions this way

yeah but what about the custom fee? ups charge me 45$ everytime for custum and duty. With a 20$ US shiping.. it cost me 80$ CND total! 😱 😱

UPS sucks IMHO

They BURN you huge on "brokerage fee's"!!!!! I will not use them.
To overcome this I have a friend in the states that forwards stuff to me..repacked as gifts...wrapping paper and all! LOL

Or have product sent by USPS (mail) a 10 lb. lens only cost me something like $16.00 US to get from Knoxville to Nova Scotia
