I like to start reloading some shotgun shells and thinking about ordering a press from the U.S. Any experience good or bad about shipping and handling ? I know shipping is about $60-70 . Any other charge at the border?

Thanks Jozsef
 
I got all my gear from the states (natchez shooters supplies), I just had to pay the usual taxes on everything, but even after that I still saved almost 300$ :)

Assuming it's made in the US, you'll pay HST if customs tags it. You'll also pay either $5 of $8 in brokerage fees if send by USPS.

Hint: insist on postal service (USPS), not any courier. The couriers - esp. UPS - charge outrageous brokerage.

I know more then enough about UPS.

Thanks Jozsef
 
I'm not sure which company you're ordering from, but I have looked at Dillon presses (cheaper on ebay) and shipping is around $100 in most cases to Canada. Tree line sports seems to be the best Ebay store for dillon presses that I have found. Dillon website seems a bit more expensive than tree line.
 
22savage,

I know all the actual ammo components require an export permit that you will likely never be able to get, but I didn't think any of the reloading equipment was controlled.

Certain items are controlled besides weapons though, for instance any IR filter or light or nightvision equipment above Gen 2 I believe all require export permits that you can't get.

hopefully its just there way of covering their behinds, and its not actually restricted.. i think i shall send them an email asking for details
 
Considering I paid $250 for my Chargemaster from Natchez compared to $500 here in Canada, I do have an issue with buying up here. That is a rip off.

Agreed. When the dollar has been at almost par for so long now, and none of my local shops have dropped their prices, only raised them, I bought all my gear at Natchez and MidSouth. I live near the border, and by using my US Mastercard, and having it delivered in the US, I also save on the international service charge.

As much as I wanted to support my local shops, I honestly could not have afforded to buy all my equipment here, so the local shops only get my money from powder and bullet sales.

Yeah, I for one absolutely LOVE supporting a Canadian retailer that slaps a huge mark-up on items they import from the States the same as me.:jerkit:

It is even more awesome when they import something from Europe that can cost nearly half as much in America.........and our dollar is nearly on par.:rolleyes:

We don't have a very competitive firearm market place in Canada and our shipping distribution system absolutely sucks here.
 
Hey thanks heavybullet did not think of that I will make it a weekend thing or maybe do it on the black Monday lots of deals at that time
 
I'd like to support my economy, (me and my family) OK here you go:

Dillon presses are cheapest from Dillon direct
Lee presses are best priced from factorysales.com and natchezss.com

Shipping cost depend on weight, a Lee is around $50 US, Dillon is more like $75 to 80

Yes, you will get charged tax at the border, make sure shipping will be USPS (whoich most do anyway as they know the UPS stories)
