Question

[startigress.livejournal.com]

I couldn't find this in the memories, so if it's there I'm sorry ^-^
I ordered from Meta for the first time and I'm wondering if anyone knows if there are custom fees in the United States for Meta and if so how much are they and how you pay the fee. Thanks in advance.

I order from them all the time and i haven't once had to. My last order was around 800usd so i could have just been lucky.

If you get hit with customs. *which is very rare here in the US.* They'll just make you go to the post office and make you pay it before you get the package.

A dress, a skrit and a headband for a total of ~300$. I'm in Quebec ^^;;;;

HOMG! Now I'm scared to order from Metamorphose!
but I'm probably going to anyway o(x_x)o ...

It shouldn't have added up to $100 THOUGH!

i got hit with customs once for my strawberry print dress- it wasn't too bad, only about $27, and i just wrote a check and handed it to the postman who delivered it.

I didn't get customs charges on my package, but I have heard of it happening, and I think I've heard that your chances increase if you order a parasol (does that souns silly?)

In the USA, clothing is usually a non-taxable item.. On the rare chance that you got hit with customs, usually the fee is paid for up front at the post office or on delivery. You can pay via cash and possibly credit card, I believe if you can't pay it when they bring it to you.. you can request to pick it up at the post office and pay there.
Some items are taxable, such as jewelery, but it still depends on wether or not customs wants to charge you.. most likely it won't happen. You'll probably be fine (I ordered from baby, meta, etc. and never was taxed in the USA).

Thanks Everyone! I feel sorry for the lolita's in Canada though. $100 is crazy!!! I'll have cash with me just in case, even though the post office is only a few blocks from where I am. I'm not sure I could wait the 5 minutes it takes to get there :p

ZOMG! I just got my Meta stuff and it came MUCH faster then expected. They say 7 to 10 days and I got mine in 3. Just wow......
