Hipshot xtender and import to Canada question

1. I'm not sure but Hipshot customer service is one of the in the biz, I'd ask them.
2. They work great as long as you keep them lubed and you can do a proper string job.
3. Yup (until you flick the switch.)
4. Correct, you don't pay duties. You pay taxes though and you will on a $60~ USD item. Take your quote to the local L&M, they will almost assuredly price match on Hipshot.

 

Before you order from best bass gear, check with bass strings online (dot) com.
1. yes the BT8
2. the post appears a little shorter than the others because of the extra piece under the tuner, But it's the same Fender tuner mounted on the plate.
3. except for the slightly shorter post or if you flip the lever.
4. dunno.

 

Yeah. Bassstringsonline. Ive ordered over $60 in string from him and paid only final cart. Import duties and taxes are all in.

 

I was gonna check there for him but they're offline, don't even know if they carry extenders.

 

They did and their price was great. I bought all my Hipshot gear with Jason.

 

Jason is Da Man. Since you’re in Cow-gary, driving across the border is not a realistic option for you. Most of the VanGroover guys ship to a receiving company just across the border - costs like $10/ year membership- and then go pick up once the item arrives. You can bring back $150 per trip tax-free , or, stay for 48 hours, and you are allowed $800 tax free. Saves big on shipping, too. As long as you have all documentation of the sale printed, and you are honest with the CBSA, you are all good. If you have friends in Lethbridge, this might work for ya!
