Now, if NEXT could deliver to Canada too, then I would be in heaven :wub:

yeah....about time too.

Thanks for that, the bra girls can now get what we need :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I just spent aaaaages going through the website with my wishlist!

Was just wondering how much duty you would pay though if you did a big order of stuff.

Re: Marks and Spencer deliver to Canada
 

It's so weird, I was actually looking at that yesterday and saw it for the first time, but it isn't cheap, 20 pounds plus taxes. If anyone does it could they let us know how much delivery and taxes comes to?

Mothercare also delivers here.

I still think it is easier to send someone the money and get them to buy the stuff.

I had a crate of choccie goodies ordered by a family member for us at Easter and shipped here by the company directly (not M&S) and the tax, import duty and brokerage fees (!?) came to over $35. As lovely as the chocolate was - makes it a very pricey practice! I'll stick to whatever people bring in their cases from now on.

Also, just had a small pair of curtains and 2 pillowcases shipped up from the US - small, lightweight. Still over $20 required at my door!!

You didn't use UPS did you?:eek:

Re: Marks and Spencer deliver to Canada
 

Duty varies, clothes not made by NAFTA members is at least 17%.

Looking at the latest Customs invoice for "Raging Brit" tell me:-

Foods vary, without any logic to it:-

McVites Hob Nobs - 11%
Tunnocks Tea Cakes - 3%
Paxo - 5.5%
Marmite - 9.5%
Crisps - 6%
Lucozade - 11%
Marmalade - 8.5%
Thorntons Toffee - 10%
Heinz Baked Beans - 8%

On top of the Duty is any relevant Tax, plus a Brokerage fee.

Surely it must be cheaper just to buy it at the supermarket?

Re: Marks and Spencer deliver to Canada
 

Wahoo, thanks Y-C-D :thumbup:

I hope they're taking the 17.5% VAT off for non-EU orders, that'll help with the PST/GST/Duty/fee sting at this end!!

Re: Marks and Spencer deliver to Canada
 

OOH my god - I was looking at M&S earlier this week as well - must be the time of year & got quite excited about the fact they deliver to the UK

I like you have also emailed NEXT to see if they will deliver to Canada being as they do Europe - a polite no was their response

Re: Marks and Spencer deliver to Canada
 

I doubt they buy it cheaper than the supermarket does, but they buy it cheaper than the supermarket sells it for, even after shipping etc.

Re: Marks and Spencer deliver to Canada
 

For those of you who are recent arrivals, we used to have M&S in Canada. The company just couldn't make it here. I suspect the only patrons they got were from UK and its marketing tecniques were judged inadequate for the North American market.

Re: Marks and Spencer deliver to Canada
 

I e-mailed them a while back to ask if they would consider delivering to us Canadians. I got a polite "no, not at this time". Maybe if we all kept on at them they might change their minds.;)

Re: Marks and Spencer deliver to Canada
 

I've just been through the process of placing an order - just out of interest- to see if it does take off the VAT when you get to the final amount. Not surprisingly, it doesn't. So you would end up paying VAT and then the taxes etc at this end too!

Guess I will just have to go on a shopping trip when we go back for Christmas!!

Re: Marks and Spencer deliver to Canada
 

I used to own a mobilehome in the South of France where there were a vast amount of expat Brits living. A very enterprising French lady decided to open a market stall selling all those typically British foodstuffs that weren't readily available there. Being a partner in the EU she didn't pay any additional taxes she just covered her costs on travelling up to Dover and filling her van up. Then doubled or even tripled the price.... and still sold out each week.

I suppose a new thread could be started "What would you sell if you had a shop in Canada" or similar :D
