why is airsoft so expensive in canada? because it costs money to pay for the item, then you have to pay shipping fees, customs tax, brokerage fees, etc...

that is partially why it is expensive. some retailers sell it cheaper than others, that's just how airsoft is in Canada.

curious, did anyone ever try to ship a gun from the states in parts in seperate boxes? Would customs actually stop a box with a barrel or parts.
Yes they would stop a box with parts. There was a member on these boards that tried to order a couple of airsoft glocks, he had the seller put all the slides in seperate boxes and all the frames in seperate boxes, and all the mags in seperate boxes. All the slides and mags came in, but customs took the boxes with frames in it. Another user had a spring for an M60 I think seized by customs. So if you wanna order something and have it split up into parts and sent seperately, you can do so. But customs doesn't mind taking boxes with just parts in it.
