If it were cheaper to order from a manufacturer directly, how do you think retailers would survive? The fact that you can order direct is astonishing.


Back on topic: My magazines arrived from airsoftgi, no duty/tax at the border with UPS, so that's nice.

Ordered a couple of mags for my ATP from Airsoft GI as well. Here's hoping I get lucky like you with regards to duty.

Of course, now having said that I've probably jinxed myself.

My ATP mags from Airsoft GI came in today, or should I say...

2 x Plastic Ball Bearing Holders

Yup, that's what the invoice said. Not airsoft pistol magazines, or anything that would label it as some sort of firearm component. Heck, it even said GI Toys at the top of the invoice, not Airsoft GI.

I know they're trying to be careful with regards to Canada customs, but that description could possibly be considered as misrepresenting the nature of the devices enclosed.

Oh, and no taxes or duty either (UPS). The package was waiting on my doorstep when I got home.

Yep, they claimed $10 "plastic ball bearing holders" on my customs invoice as well.

Lucky folks I had to pay $17 dollars for tax and duty and UPS rape fee
(for three mags and a holster) They properly declare it though.

It's probably because you also got a holster...I can't think of anything creative to call a holster other than what it is.
