So I checked and sure enough it was in stock in the colour scheme I like so I had to go for it. Thanks for pointing out the sale Grant! Rick

I could still change my mind if I think they are too high. But I am expecting them to be approximately what I saved with the sale price which works for me.

About 7 or 8 months ago I contacted them and the shipping price was $275 give or take a few dollars.. I can't remember exactly. That was on the 78" version.

Hi Guys
I know when I ordered my Extra in March 2010 the trucking company sent me the required forms for custom clearence I believe 60 dollars. I then had to go to Dartmouth and get the plane from the shipping company. Of course I paid the shipping charges 89 dollars when I was billed the Extra.
At the time they told me that was the ony way they could ship to Nova Scotia.
I would like to know what it cost now too. Love to have that 88"Extra 50 CC

The cost will be less because of the Extreme flight shipping discount Not sure of the brokerage fees there should be no duty because it is exempt but you may get a 60$ charge on top of the amount westjet charge 50$ for 82in (l+w+b) this is 93inches drat dang drat

I ordered on-line and chose to pay by Paypal. So the way it works as I found out, is they send you a final payment request after they figure out the shipping and you either pay or not. If not they cancel the order.

I didn't hear anything today so I guess it will be Monday. I will let you all know. But of course by then the sale will be over.

The only way they can ship to Canada is by an independant trucking company like Grant said in his post. I am curious about this hardware store because would consider this as an option

I will let you all know what I am quoted from Extreme Flight for the shipping costs when I get it. I may just have to go back to staying with what I already have for the summer which was my original plan. lol.

Shipping would likely be cheapest through them. I think they are out of Ontario. On there website they say free shipping to most major Canadian cities.

They are great, no need to call ahead, just go down and get your stuff. Works with UPS, USPS and FedEX.

Make sure though that you have your receipts printed off and bring them with you to the border. If you can't prove how much you paid for your items, they'll hold them there until you can. I have been sent back before.

48hours means 800$ per person duty free
not sur eif you still have to pay HST?????

The shipping to NS is $150 because the box is too large to send by USPS. Since I got $80 off on the sale it seemed acceptable so I went for it. Rick
