I'm so pissed off. Stupid Canadian customs charged me 75$ Customs fee on the probikekit order. It ruined everything and I now have paid full retail cost for the OG colorway. Nothing I can even do now...

I believe you can reject the package and cancel the order. That sucks !

Yup you can and anything valued under 200$ shouldn't face a customs fee in my experience from getting out of the country... Mine should be here at the end of the week/beginning of next week. If I receive a customs fee, I am rejecting it without a doubt.

Thought it was well established that Canadian's don't ship anything to their home address.. Parcel receiving service across the border is where it's at.

The best way to get something in Canada for the cheapest price in terms of adidas boost is to get stuff off adidas.ca or look into running specialty stores.

Unfortunately this means paying retail, but most times it also means no shipping charges. That's about the best we Canadians can do.

Crossing the border with a skin complexion darker than a brown paper bag is a no-no. Border crossing guards are dickholes, at leaset on the west coast. 4 out of the last 5 times I've crossed I've been "Randomly selected" for a stop and search.

 My brother received the package and paid the damn fees without saying anything to me so I wasn't able to decline the package. Upon getting home and checking the package. This idiots at probikekit declared the value of the item at 196.88$ Canadian when I paid $155.00 Canadian. What in the actual f is that and how did these fools declare such a wrong value. That's what the huge fees were based off was the value of 196.88...

Damn....... that's messed up dude, I would be emailing them as we speak. Most companies i've dealt with out of the country declare the value lower than what I pay so I don't get hit with the fee.

Contact the shipping company that delivered the package. They should have left a receipt slip which you can refer to.

Sorry dude but like it's been said, 20% duty plus whatever they charge for brokerage fee and tax. They probably put $196.88 as declared value because that's their retail. But even if they put $155 you'd still be paying $31 on duty alone. With that said I'd email them to try to get the difference refunded. G/L, hopefully you have a US address you can use for next time.
 
needed some help in the sizing for the Energy Boost 2 ESM's, found the all-white pair for a halfway decent price, and don' know what size i should get, i'm a true 8.5, but some dudes telling me to go half-size up, would appreciate some help!

Which feels more comfortable and durable, the Energy Boost ESM or the Ultra Boost?

Also, which one is better looking, the all white Energy Boost or the all white Ultra Boost?

The UBs look better. In terms of comfort I can't say cause I don't own Energy Boosts but they do look more durable than UBs.
