Canadian who bought from Amazon UK

[ti_jay007]

Hey guys,

If you have experienced it before or have an idea about what it could be, thank you for your time.

I ordered two lego sets from Amazon before Christmas. I checked my CBSA postal import form and the $$ does not fit with my credit card bill. I ordered for around 90 CDN (Value for duty) after shipping and EUR conversion. I get the GST, PST and the handling cost charged for an extra 23 CDN. That's around 115 total, but my credit card bill makes it to 145 which is around 30 dollars more than supposed.

Am I getting screwed by my bank or I miss something?

Hi, amazon UK use GBP not EUR and it has higher exchange rate.

correct, gotta use pounds for the conversion, not euros. And the Cdn $ has been nosediving lately, unfortunately.

So it's my mistake. CBSA are mixed up then, stating on there forms that it's Euro..

That would be a CBSA error in your favour then right?
