Goodday all,
I've pretty much settled on buying a PM 1030 lathe from Precision Matthews, the question right now is the final price-tag with shipping and all included.
Matt (PM guy?) responded promptly to some e-mail queries I sent, and he has indicated that shipping for the lathe will run me $249.
That said, I'm wondering what the 'to my door' price will end up being.
I did some magic math, and for the lathe, with accessories (and base) I'm looking at $2597.97. Which comes out to $3265.01 in Canuck bucks (0.80 exchange rate)
Add in the shipping at $249 ($313 Cdn) and I'm up to $3578 Canuck bucks at the border.
CBSA responded to me indicating that it'd be HST on the cost of the item that I'd be paying, no duties...so in Nova Scotia, that's 15%, which is $489, so that rounds up to $4067 to my door.
Are there any 'other' brokerage fees or anything that I'm likely to encounter that I should factor in? (Based on your experience shipping to a Canadian destination?)
Of note, I did a price comparison between the PM 1030 and the CX706 at Busy Bee (10x22) and the Busy Bee lathe comes up at $3653, or about $500 less.
However, that $500 gets me:
-QCTP already installed (and t-slot cross-slide)
-DC Variable Speed Motor
-An extra 8" on the bed
I am SORELY tempted to pull the trigger, as I understand PM has their 1030's instock right now.
I just want to go in eyes wide-open with an awareness of what I'm going to end up paying.
Thanks,
NavyShooter
