Buying from Lee Valley Canada

I don't know. Sorry the above is a mess. I would probably give it 3 months plus to be safe.

Like you I either keep the total under $1k or I factor the GST/Duty into my sums. Better safe than taxed.

Just another suggestion generally. It's worth looking over the various US suppliers. Often the price is higher but the shipping so much lower it swings it. In your case buying LV products changes it all, but buying more generic stuff it's worth shopping around. I buy stuff from carbatec, they are down teh road from my butcher. I've bought stuff from Timbecon. I've had great service and good prices from both. BUT when the price gap is very large and especially when I'm dealing domestic mail order I don't hesitate to go overseas. I'm not saying I'm right, I'm not saying anyone else is wrong, I'm just saying that's what I do.

I think we need some photo's of these beautiful new tools so we can all bath in the glow....:)

Yeh, that's right Wongo.

My birthday is coming up soon (don't tell everyone) and family were obliged to buy a gift of my liking. I chose a couple of planes and tried to help out with the costs. They are still boxed and will have have to wait until BD to have a feel:wink:
