Hi,
USPS isn't updating my tracking, which is a bummer cause I love seeing my packages. Has anyone here ordered from outside the US? Was your package updated on track and confirm?

I dont think you can track international packages.I got confirmation it was shipped and it arrived-all the way to the UK in seven days

Thanks for replying!
It has finally made an update. Customs is processing it. IDK if it'll continue to update after it continues on it's way into Canada.
How much was shipping/customs?

Hi,
I'm in Canada too and thinking of ordering. Could you tell me how much shipping and customs ended up being for your order?
thanks,
Shannon

It would have been about $14 to ship to the US and it was $23 something to ship here, so not too bad. I've never payed duty from other HSing companies, so hopefully not this one either.

I live in Canada too and have yet to order. I'm curious to know if you end up paying GST and PST.
I know it will be duty free as my dh is a customs broker and he advised me of this, but he seems to think taxes have to be paid.

I can only answer from a British experience.I usually have to pay for anything over £18 [$36 USD].

Man, I hope not. I don't keep cash on hand. I REALLY hope we get it tomorrow. No update of it leaving customs though.

I was checking to see if m parcel had any new information, on usps, which it didn't. But I got curious, so I decided to put the tracking number into Canadapost. And you can check on it there too!
However there was no different stuff there though. No updates since Sunday afternoon

I actually did end up paying customs, $13.77. IDK...maybe cause it said merchandise instead of educational materials? I've never paid with other homeschool stuff. Actually, the only other thing I've ever paid on was a new Ergo. I hate paying extra:(
