For f*** sake, people are whinning because it takes too long to get their gun, so CanAm attempts to speed up the process by getting the billing done at a time when guns are in port and seamingly everything is pre-approved by CFC/RCMP, delays are not expected.... CBSA throws a monkey-wrench into this and sits on their collective asses...
Regarding the $$$ issues on interest, how much do you think CanAm is having to pay in interest for getting these guns ??? let's say he has 1000 rifles and payed 500$ each, that's $500,000 in money HE advanced to get these, now the $849 he charges us included the cost of his interest on these, interest calculate until Jan09... we are now 2 months past that.... $500,000* 9% (interest/year) / 12 (months) * 2 (delayed months) = $7,500 <--- that's some ballpark figure of how much $$ has been lost so far
