I noticed the charge to my credit card for the Stage-1... This can only mean:

It's COMING soon! Whoot!

I'm stoked.

I hope so... My card was charged on the 13th but I haven't recieved the package or any emails from fedex

amartin

Same with mine.. Probably processed the next 'batch' of folks on the same day.

Talk about close, mine has entered the country and is minnesota right now.

amartin

Ya know... since the Credit Cards were charge, it would be cool to receive an email indicating when our units are planned for shipping (heck, a tracking number too would be cool).

Of course, if they are just boxing and shipping like mad, that would just take additional time.... wouldn't want that :-)

Well apparently jeffscardinal *did* get some kind of notification email, since he knows where his is! So I assume we can each expect notification when our units ship.

According to FedEx, mine was processed on the 15th but just left Edmonton on the 19th. The ETA has now been pushed back to the 29th.

My card was also charged on the 13th. $67 for freight?? Sounds hi, but maybe Maurice is coming down to personally install it

Can't wait either.

Get's expensive when you're shipping into or out of Canada, and I don't imagine it's a light package.

Speed Racer

The package only weighs 3 lbs.

I too was surprised by the cost of shipping but the price matches what is listed on FedEx.com.

it must include some kind of border tax i would guess...so much for NAFTA (shrug).

amartin

Mid Dec for me.

Patience is a virtue right

I absolutely love being able to track packages online!! Here's my info:

I ordered my stage-1 kit on 12/18 and got a shipment notice from Maurice on 1/11, and a shipment notice from FedEx on 1/15 with an initial expected delivery date of 1/29. The package went from Edmonton to Winnipeg then crossed the border and went to St. Paul. It just left Columbus this morning and now my new expected delivery date has been moved up to 1/27!!

Maurice said that the shipping would be $25 so the extra $28 that was charged to my credit card must be taxes / border fees of some kind.

Speed Racer

Did anyone else get a phone call from FedEx Trade Network concerning brokerage and duty fees? Brokerage fee was $16 and they didn't know what the duty fee would be.

I had to fax them a letter saying that I'd pay the fees before they would let the package out of customs.

Scotchee

Hmmm. I didn't get notified at all and didn't have to fax anything. I did happen to supply my ssn to Maurice when I ordered the kit. If you didn't, maybe that's why??

Speed Racer

Scotchee,

Yes, I did give my SSN to CanZoomer when I faxed in my order.

I'd be curious to hear from other people who have received their units and find out what they had to pay for shipping, brokerage fees, and duty tax.

Speed Racer $55 + $16 brokerage fee + duty tax $???
Scotchee $53
vix8 $56

Scotchee

Not yet. Mine is supposed to arrive next Tuesday. I'll let you know what the invoice says when it comes. So far it sounds like there's been at least some variation in taxes and fees. My card was charged 553 and since CanZoomer mentioned that the shipping charges would be $25 I assume there were additional fees of $28. But the actual amount of shipping may have been different so my assumptions about the fees could be wrong too. I'll let you know once it comes.

On 1/13 I was charged $556.21 by Hard Data, Ltd. I ordered late December (before Christmas I believe).

Have not received an e-mail from Maurice yet...

Sea Ray

I bet he had a good pay day on the 13th Of course after spending all his money up front he probably needed it.

MINE ARRIVED THIS MORNING!!!!! Should be installed this weekend!!!! Results to follow.........

Speed Racer

Success07,

That's awesome! Let us know what you think of it as soon as you get it installed.

Genom

success: Whats this weekend stuff? Come on, take it like a man and put it in tonight and play!

I know when mine gets in I aint even waiting to get out of work :D

TeKP

Ha... I was thinking the same thing... I would leave straight from work to install it... Then drive around the rest of the day
