However, <strong>there still may be duty taxes and\/or custom fees<\/strong> that would be charged separately by the carrier, on behalf of the Canadian Government, and are usually due upon delivery of your order.<\/p>\n<div>If you choose to send US Postal (First Class, Priority or Express), please remember that for international shipments, <strong>First Class can take up to 3+ weeks to arrive.<\/strong> Priority usually takes between a week to a week and a half and Express shipments typically arrive within a week.<\/p>\n<p>As far as tracking your parcel goes, typically USPS First Class is the least expensive option and, as such, does not come with any tracking information. Priority shipments will have a reference number that can sometimes show the major happenings like pick up and delivery.\u00a0A neat trick that many may not be aware of is that the USPS tracking information can also be tracked using\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/canadapost.com\/\">canadapost.com<\/a> once the parcel has entered Canada!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>However, for full and complete tracking information, you probably want to use either USPS Express, UPS or Fed Ex.<\/div>\n<div>Below are some links that should help our Canadian customers make a more informed decision concerning buying and shipping products from OWC:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Duties, Taxes and Handling Fees:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/import\/postal-postale\/duty-droits-eng.html\">http:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/import\/postal-postale\/duty-droits-eng.html<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Canada Border Services Agency Main Page:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/menu-eng.html\">http:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/menu-eng.html<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Shipping Calculator: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefinalcost.com\/\">http:\/\/www.thefinalcost.com\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>OWC would appreciate any feedback on these links, or others that may be of help to our Neighbors To The North!
