We now have international shipping available in house instead of using package forwarding companies. The addition of a new shipping company allows us to compute a rough estimate of the custom charges and taxes, generate the complex export/import paperwork, and compute the shipping charges to get the feeder from our warehouse to your house in many cases.
A recent order was sent to British Columbia, Canada. The shipping cost $68.52 for both U.S. and Canada shipping, then the customer paid $14.11 (U.S.) for the Canadian taxes and $12.07 for Fedex clearance paperwork there inside Canada for a total of $26.08. Including $85.00 for the feeder the total was $179.60 with the customer paying the taxes and processing feed online and Fedex delivering the feeder to her door.
Currently, you have to place an order using the "call in a credit card info" option when you check out. To get the order to file you can use our address for the ship to address, use your name, 358 North Rockwell Ave, Oklahoma City, OK, 73127 then put your foreign address in the customer comment section on the order. We can then quote the shipping and a rough estimate of the foreign taxes and processing fees, ignoring the shipping costs previously given and inserting the actual shipping costs.
You can chose to pay the import taxes and processing fees in your country up front or pay them yourself when the package arrives. We have just started using the new service but it appears to be maybe $8.00 cheaper if we pre pay the import processing and taxes for you upfront. The foreign Custom Offices prefer the pre paid, knowing it was done by professionals they will be a bit less intrusive or worried about the shipment.
Once the costs are known, you call in with your credit card info during business hours, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Central time to 405 942 2644 and we process the order. Be sure and insert your exact address in the comment section during ordering.
Time is fairly quick, less than a week for the Oklahoma to B.C. order. We do ask that you check out the information on both this .com shopping cart and the main website of htpps://ratproofchickenfeeder.net before ordering as returning international shipments is just not done due to the costs involved. Know what you are buying and be ready to follow the directions for assembly, installation, and training or have someone competent willing to do so.
