Quick question about Allposters.com

Hi,

For those that have ordered from Allposters.com, would you be able to tell me if the duties, taxes and such are high? I haven't found out if they ship by USPS/Canada Post into Canada or not. I don't want to be hit with the brokerage fee if by UPS, FedEx, DHL. etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Artmart is a Canadian site, artmart.ca and the National Gallery of Canada is another Canadian source. They have some stuff but not as extensive as Allposters.
I called Allposters customer service for some reason, can't remember why, and they were a pleasure to deal with over the phone too.

I have found it to be a great source for many of my prints that I was unable to obtain from local stores or even Canadian poster websites. I always get them laminated or framed here to save on shipping,

I have also ordered from them a couple times and had no issues at all.. they send USPS and the prints come in a very sturdy tube with paper on both sides of the prints. I believe I had to pay taxes on the order when I picked it up but that was it. I will deal with them again.

Im really glad you asked this. I always wanted to order from them but was afraid of the same thing.

Which other Canadian poster websites would you be able to share? I just want to check if the ones I wanted are there and for how much before I go ahead and order from allposters.com

Thanks.

There is someone on the forum who orders from allposters.com but can't remember who it is. I'm afraid I can't help you in this case :mad:
