Has anyone recently imported harddrives from us to Canada? I’m planning on ordering 6x (possibly 12x) 14tb harddrives through eBay. It has been a very long time since I’ve used ebay so want to know what I should expect and at what point it is more worthwhile buying from a Canadian vendor.
I’m assuming usps is still the cheapest way to ship duty/brokerage wise? How much did duty and brokerage cost?
Also open to suggestions on Canadian vendors (currently looking at referb HGST or Exos).
I’ve done it a few times and the duty is of course based off the value of the drives. In my cases I’ve bought 1 or 2 drives at a time (20TB) and the duty was never more than $50, with about $10 of that being the processing fee.
Was this through USPS? Or other courier?
