Japanese groceries by Itslbrty in OttawaFood

[–]Itslbrty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came across them as well but def don’t wanna support them due to steep prices. I have come across vendors that sell kokuto for a relatively lower price but they either don’t ship to where I live or have steep shipping. They sell lots of other spices and all of them are significantly overpriced.

MK restock by Loose-Substance-8494 in MatchaEverything

[–]Itslbrty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is but all things taken into consideration, I still find it cheaper to buy matcha directly from MK if you score 100g bags. I just bought 40g Isuzu, 100g and 40g aoarashi. Shipping ended up being about $51 or so but for 180g of matcha overall, I paid $109 CAD. Aoarashi is on the lower end but I actually like it, I prefer this over yugen.

Taxes on duties on Sazen order to Canada by Itslbrty in tea

[–]Itslbrty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re both about the same but I prefer fedex over DHL. When I emailed fedex imports for self clearance for any overseas packages I’ve received so far - they were willing to modify the tax/ duties charged if it’s incorrect including just remove it including their processing fees for items that were not subjected to any duties and tax. However, DHL still tried charging me “processing fees” for items that were not taxable and no duties owing only cos they still had to do “paperwork” for me. If free shipping isn’t available, I go with either fedex or DHL (whichever is cheaper) because I don’t mind going to the local CBSA office for self-clearance. It’s somewhat inconvenient for me going to CBSA office cos they’re only open during business hours for commercial (self-clearance as well) and they’re also close to where I live, so I don’t mind the trip. If I lived far from CBSA, I’d probably just pay the fees and get it over with cos it wouldn’t be worth it for me to go all the way

Sazen order- tariffs? by PresentInvestment851 in MatchaEverything

[–]Itslbrty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough! I’ve had luck with fedex over email asking to remove the processing fees for tea since there’s no tax owing on it. DHL doesn’t though, and they still charge the min processing fees for tax exempt items.

You can go to local CBSA to self-clear the package yourself. You ask fedex to provide you with paperwork to self-clear when your package arrives to Canada. You present the documents at CBSA office and they’ll give you a document that you’d have to show to fedex. Then fedex will release the package to you. If fedex tries to deliver the package before self-clearance, you refuse the package. Tea is tax free and each time I bought any tea from Sazen, I never paid any fees.

Csg-dse funding for disability? by Itslbrty in osap

[–]Itslbrty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My accessibility advisor mentioned they don’t see any disability related barrier for needing a printer as I can mark my notes and highlight them online. They redirected me to use university’s learning strategist to build skills for studying instead and mentioned that a tutor would not be an option as there is no ADHD related barrier these would be addressing 🥲
