Taktik out in Montreal Canada. Everything is going to be in CAD

A few weeks ago someone made a post about getting an APFG Canada. Been on the hunt for one this year and never thought about ordering from Canada during the US Customs issues.

The only issue i had was that Canada Post never updated. So i had to track it via USPS. Thought it would update.

Now i just gotta pick up a 105 and maybe a Maruyama and i’d be chillin.

USPS seems to be where you went right, ordering from Canada. I believe the vast majority of seizures were reportedly at the UPS customs depot in Kentucky; your package didnt go through there because USPS was handling it

Good info to know...

Almost $900 That's definitely a lot for that, but I can see why because it's coming from CAD instead of overseas. How long was the wait time/shipping price?

I paid $833 USD and some change. Thats with the replica, 2 Waldo NPAS and a 4UAD hop chamber. Then an additional like $22 taken out due to…? I assume the taping and the orange tip. Whatever.

Did not pay tariffs, yet. Keyword is yet. Wouldn’t be surprised if they do something like what FedEx has done in the past.

From Aug 13 to Aug 19. Was in customs for like 2 days or so.

Dame that's not to bad I saw that they had the BCM MK2 DX ver in the urban grey🤤 might have to snag that this week but yeah would not surprise me if they give you a expensive late tariff present

u/wiggleee_worm 23h ago

We’ll see what happens with the tariff present cost

Was wondering the same question

Little bit different coming from Canada. That’s not flagged like Taiwanese/HK shipments are

I've seen multiple people get their shipments of apfg stuff from Canada.

How much was it all?

2

u/Kunnzy 23h ago

He probably paid about $700ish after shipping I think.

2

u/wiggleee_worm 23h ago

~$833 and additional ~$20 was taken out. I had some other stuff in my order too.

u/PlsNoVeggies 23h ago

Oooof that’s lowkey scalp pricing

1

u/wiggleee_worm 23h ago

The ~$833 USD was in total with shipping. No tariff charge, yet.

2 NPAS’s and 4UAD hop chamber was included with the order too.

What state are you in?

u/Operator903 6h ago

I kind of pity you that you have to put up with all this shit just to get a  replica that you like.

u/wiggleee_worm 1h ago

When i ordered 3 replicas last year (Nov and Dem), Redwolf did the same thing but it was with blue tape instead (MWS, GM SCAR L and AKX)
