Looking for CAD overall cost confirmation

[BL40]

Hey C2 community,
I'm on the waiting list for a rower (can't wait!) and am trying to not get surprised by customs fees. So far by my calculations, taking into consideration the exchange rate, duties, brokerage fees, and provincial tax, I think the total cost will be somewhere around $1650CAD.
Customer support have confirmed whatever they can (which helped me with the above estimate), but it's only a small piece of the total import picture.
Any Canadian purchasers out there who can confirm if the amount I got to is at all accurate/if this is what they ended up paying...?
(I realize rates can change quickly, but even a ballpark confirmation will be super helpful).
Thanks!

I just ordered one through Roguefitness and was on the waiting list and never received a notification but I went on the site and see Add to cart so I jumped on it. All Canadian funds and order placed Jan 22/2021
$1249.00
$4.67 seat pad
$128.85 shipping & handling
Total $1562.79

Can’t wait to get it as I’m a fat kayaker and looking to get more into shape.

I got mine through Amazon®. Paid a bit more (not much as it was on sale). Now the prices are through the roof.

Your timing must have been spectacular, all I ever see from Rogue is "Notify me", and I haven't gotten so much as a wait-list confirmation from them yet. Concept just delayed my purchase date by another week, too, but I'm still holding out...sellers up in Ontario are asking ~$2000 these days. Ridiculous.

To all my fellow Canucks:

I live in Toronto. I got impatient waiting for Rogue and the wait list with Concept2® was pretty long (not their fault). So I shopped it around on the Canadian Amazon site. They were originally asking around $1,800ish when all of a sudden I see it for $1,572 before taxes, so I jumped on it. After taxes, it came to $1,772 (all in) and no sooner than that, the prices shot up to over $2K. It is evident that fitness gear like C2 and Peloton, etc, have seen an uptick in sales dues to COVID-19, and some resellers are clearly taking advantage of the situation.

Had I had more patience, I would have ordered through Rogue Canada. They are the best option, if you are patient.

I bought one (Canada) and it arrived late January 2021.
$900 USD for the Rower plus the quote delivery fee of $65 USD. I did not convert these for you as they will be dependent on the exchange rate when you pay.

Total Amount Due at customs: 252.14 CAD payable to UPS - that included PST (7%) and GST (5%).

This includes all costs I had to deal with.

Thanks! This is in line with what I'm now expecting. Fingers crossed that my purchase link comes in next week!

My rower has arrived (direct from Concept2), it only took a week (ordered March 4)! It came via FedEx, who explained that the customs fees and tax bill could arrive anywhere from a few days to a few months from now.

Coincidentally, Rogue has also restocked, and according to their site it would have cost me $1558.54 to order from them. So as long as my customs/tax bill comes to under $300, ordering direct was the right choice Fingers crossed!

[BL40]

Just to wrap up this thread, got the customs bill today: $229.84. That brings the grand total to $1,495.86. Buying direct was the right choice! Shame on all the opportunists, including Fitness Depot!!

Hi, I just got mine directly from C2 and would like to know if anyone else had any scuffs, scratches, or hand prints on theirs? I'm wondering if I recieved a refurbished one??

That doesn't sound acceptable if you paid for a new model. Call them directly, express your concerns & they will do right by you.

I think vkalli is going to need to provide some proof that he/she is not a spammer.

[vkalli]

Not a spammer. I asked a legitimate question out of concern about my recent purchase. I'm a bit insulted.
