[QUOTE="Singed, post: 601135, member: 6261"] I wanted you all to get a breakdown of the difference between cost of tobacco in local shops vs. international orders for me in Winnipeg, MB, CAN. Some of you have been following my WAYS posts and commiserating with me about my latest US order and I thought I should show you why I go to the trouble.It goes without saying that we have nowhere near the selection you have in the US. All figures in Canadian dollars. On average, tobacco, whether tinned or bulk, available through local tobacconists run at$1.00 per g ($32.00/oz), inc. taxes . I recently ordered 32 oz of bulk tobacco from the US. Buying it here would cost me roughly $1024.00, inc. taxes. My cost from the US total, inc. exchange and tariffs: $401.65. Tobacco & Shipping: $169.51 Customs: $237.14 Delivery usually arrives within 10 business days of an order for me using USPS. I cheaped out and went with UPS: Mail Innovations to save eight bucks, give or take.. I'll never do that again. Please forgive my impatience in WAYS the last few days, but now you know what a difference it makes to me. My budget for tobacco, for a simple luxury, goes more than twice as far ordering over the border. [/QUOTE]
