If I order from DD bricks Thailand, what kind of extra taxes can I expect when
it gets to Canada? How long will it take?
This is my first time doing this, and I appreciate your help.

welcome to bricklink! depends on the order value in general. if you spent $20
you probably wont have any taxes but if you spent $100 you'll likely pay
the $9.95 brokerage fee + your provinces tax %

Note brokerage fee can be FAR higher, depending the shipping method.
I've read about numbers like $50...

Also check if they ask to be paid in another currency - PayPal can do it, but
it may cost you a few extra %.

I don't talk about this DD shop, didn't check, but as you're new
on BrickLink *carefully* check and read their / any feedback profile.

I'd really recommend you to place first a few small deals (locally or neighbours)
and get used to BrickLink before placing any important orders, especially if
very important and very far

And of course, pay with PayPal exclusively for your own protection.

Sure, that was a excellent move, ask us in forum in case of and before

Hi! It depends on how they ship. If it is cheaper shipping and goes by sea transport
it can take at least a month. The last shipment I got from Europe was 34 days.
If you pay big bucks for air transport it should be less time, however I'm
not that rich haha

Have an epic day!
