Great idea. Don't know why I didn't think of that. So as a gift, there is never any tax or duty???

From the Canadian Border Services Agency website:

"Items that qualify as a "gift"

For an item to qualify as a "gift", another person must send it to you personally and must include a card or other notice indicating that it's a gift.

If you receive an imported gift by mail and it's worth $60 CAN or less, you don't have to pay duty or tax.
If the gift is worth more than $60, you must pay duty and tax on the amount over $60 CAN.
For example, if a relative sends you a gift worth $200 CAN, you must pay the applicable duty, the GST or HST, and any PST on $140 CAN."

http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/import/courier/postal/ind_duty_free-e.html

So yeah, make sure your relatives include a little gift note or card with the shoes and put down a low value. I've received shoes marked at $100 before and didn't have to pay duty so I'm kind of confused that the website says $60.

btw, I was at Brown's today and they only have the slingback in the mid-heel, not the high heel.

well they should wrap it up in wrapping paper and put a bow on it...and a card......and just say shoes 60 canadian dollars or something

congrats, leyla! they're so beautiful.

i posted stuffs to winners on ebay and the only problem with sending to canada is you need to specify the origin of the goods and also the recipient's phone number.

btw, anyone got the leopard suede mary jane? it's 30% off in manolo but the heels seems not high enough as i expected...

I love my silver sedaray!

I told you guys I got the Marie shoes on approval....but they were $1700 green satin mules with the most beautiful brooch....and ruffles but they did not fit.

my lady called me and another came in..in my size and its less bc no brooch......they are the full pumps from the movie in mint green satin and yellow/gold embriodery....with ribbon pleats and soime ruffles. I can't wait to see them!

Don't know if i said congrats yet leyla but I'm so excited about your camo sedaraby's! They are beautiful!
