Re: Curtains etc
 
I ordered some vests from M&S a couple of years ago and I had to pay duty on delivery, I ordered through the regular website and it did't say anything about duty, so I wasn't surprised when I had to pay it.

But this is a new dedicated website just for Canada it seems, and it mentions that duty is covered etc. I am curious to give this a trial run to see what does happen if I place an order. I know this is a new website as I have been keeping an eye every few months and I have never seen this before. I have also been sending them emails asking them when they will come back to Canada. All of my emails have been ignored, but I understand they won't give any ole tom, dick n harry this information.

They say all customs duties paid. Does that really hold true or will there be additional charges at delivery?

I know for example if you use this kind of "customs/import charges paid" services on ebay, they're a bit of a con and you can still end up having to pay on delivery.

See my post earlier in the thread!!!!!!
I have ordered as I said, I was dubious, I had heard about the website from Facebook, but there was no link on the uk site. I actually emailed the UK M&S, they emailed back saying I had to order on the UK site, so I went back the UK site only to find a link to the Canadian site had appeared overnight!
Anyway, I ordered, it arrived very fast,no shipping, no duties,tax. In an M&S bag, with tags attached.
My Amex appears untouched by crooks 2 weeks later. The importer was a woman's name oddly but otherwise all seems kosher ;)
