Collecting days are coming to an end...

Yep, that is due to the new classification code for the statues. 6.5% is customs fee. SS sent this out to Canadian buyers explaining why the code has changed; CBSA requested it.

I was lucky with my Cap Marvel statue though, no custom fees, just taxes

I just got my Hulk Vs Wolverine. I was expecting to pay taxes and duties at the door, they just handed me the package. The shipper had no packing slip on it. Is this usual??

Do you have a FedEx account? If so, they will bill you and send you an email within the next 4 weeks.

If not - they will snail-mail you a bill.

Obviously it sucks that we are getting raped by the weak dollar, taxes and fees, but recently I've been trying to put a positive spin on it. A few years ago, I was pre-ordering everything I wanted without much thought. I'd get caught up in the hype of a new shiny statue and order it the day it went up. A year would go by and I'd get the statue, throw it on my shelf with the rest and after a couple days it would just blend in with the rest. Since the price of a PF has now nearly doubled I've learned to be much more patient and I'm actually spending(wasting) much less money and only getting pieces that I know I'll love and appreciate.

In years past, I would have 8 or 10 PF's on order at somewhere around $450-600. Now I have only 2 pieces on order. Red Sonja, which is on the way and the P1 Spider-Man 2099. Both of which I took my time to think about and decided they would be worth buying.

Anyways, that's just my 2 cents. Yeah it sucks that we can't buy up everything, but maybe that isn't a bad thing.

Yeah - it was certainly factored in when I looked at the new Sideshow Predator 1 1:4 maquette.

Time was that I would have got it EVEN with its multiple HUGE flaws . . . . . but no longer given the current exchange rate + shipping increase + tax increase.
