I think this $50 are GST/PST + $5 Canada Post brokerage fee. Believe me, if they would've shipped it UPS, you'd pay ALOT more than that!

Becareful that when they send you the replacement .... that you don't get nailed for the duties/taxes again!!! Make sure you keep the previous receipt, so you can call the shipping company and tell them they changed you twice. Also, it would be good for the online company to put down that it is a warrenty replacement or something along those lines.

It won't matter what the company puts down as customs won't believe them because I had this similar experience happen to me. I still had to pay for the duty "AGAIN" but the company I dealt with (Superbike Toy Store) reimbursed me for it. So if you are going to send it back then be prepared to pay for the duty a second time.

Keep all receipts, invoices, etc. You can apply for a refund. I did it once and got money back. But it took several months

A few years back I baught a turbo kit for my car from the U.S. The kit cost me $2800 American. When they shipped it they just labled it as a warrenty/exchange...$0 value. I went to UPS to pick it up and all I had to pay was the UPS fee like 40 bucks or somethin. I was a huge box to and I know customs went through cause you could tell the box was opened then retaped. So IDK the OP shouldn't have any problems if Riders Discount lables it as an exchage. and if anything keep your original receipts for proof if the ask any questions.

You are right on the money there. the odd time something gets shipped via USPS you get away without any charges but generally you pay the tax and the $5 customs fees. You would have to bend over for the delivery guy if it was shipped UPS!!!
