    Hummm I dug out my invoice and it was 17.45Pounds for shipping.. I have no idea about duty or taxes as my tartan has yet to arrive.
    I did read in the paper last night that there is a backlog of parcels at mail sorting stations here in Canada because of a ton of online shopping Canadians have been doing because of our high dollar.
    Oh my Macarthur tartan is somewhere between the UK and my house.

    It's Here!!!!



    I have been working a ton of 12 hour days and I was finally able to weasel a morning off to sleep in. Well at 7:45am, Jeter the amazing wonder dog heard Santa at the door and woke me up!! (Yes Red Sox's Fans my dog's name is Jeter!!) It cost me an extra $35 but it was worth twice the price. Man it's just like Christmas morning. The tartan is lovely. I have stated in another thread that I have waited a long time for a kilt in my family tartan and now the dream is coming true. Now I hope I don't get the kilt making yips!

    Ok, now for info that the members might want:
    I live in Canada so I can only give what the Canadian Border slips states. I have no idea what the US Taxes and duties would be.
    Duty:$14.00
    GST:$6.84
    PST:$9.12 (I live in Ontario)
    Handling fee: $5.00 (I am guessing this is for the tape they used to tape it back up after they opened the nice silver package it was wrapped in!)
    SO I am very happy. I think I may order the IOS in the same weight in the new year if the Loonie keeps flying high!!

    (In full discloser the tartan was really a Christmas gift from my sister [now my favorite one] it was between my tartan and a new Glasgow Celtic jersey. I think I made the right choice.. I can always get a jersey off of e-bay!!)
