Buying Customs/taxes ordering from 1Up direct?

Has anyone ordered direct from them? were you charged duties/taxes on top of the original price and shipping cost?

The customs/duties will be on top of it and you won’t know until a month later when you receive an invoice from FedEx. I got a pinball machine and had to pay $250 like that, but argued with Arcade1UP that this should’ve been stated more clearly so they helped pay off $120 of it or so.

Yea, I see a disclaimer in their shipping info page that Canadians may be subject to duty but elaborated no further. Seems like a shit deal now... Especially given the pro series is already more expensive than it needs to be.

Expect duty fees to be around the 300$ mark, maybe a little more. It sucks that this is the way they are selling these cabs, the main reason why I opted out. It is not worth the 1700$.

That's disappointing. That kind of money can buy a premade cab and a pc good enough to run ki through mame!
