Canadian Shoppers - Read This Before You Buy a Jogging Stroller
by Joe Peterson

The big producers of baby jogging strollers realize that the largest market for their products is the USA consumer - and as a result they focus their efforts on establishing retailers that cater to the American market. That is why is it so easy to find a wide array of US retailers on the world wide web that aggressively sell baby jogging strollers.

Many people in Canada are interested in purchasing a baby stroller from a US based retailers and having the stroller shipped to them in Canada - but it is not easy to do.

Canadians can find the stroller they want at many American based on-line retailers, but one of the problems that the Canadian buyer may encounter is that many of the on line retailers do not ship to Canada. And if they do ship to Canada the extra costs of getting the stroller to Canadian customers is prohibitively expensive.

For example, you can find a really good jogging stroller on-line at a price of $279. To ship the stroller to Canada will cost an additional $60. Add to that the custom clearance charges of $60 to get the stroller over the border, and then add another $22 for duty charges.

That $279 stroller is now $279 ($60 $60 22 for a new whopping total of $421 (this is before GST and applicable provincial sales tax).

Even if you do decide to purchase from an American retailer they may not realize all the extras that you will be charged. They are probably not aware that the custom broker will charge the shipper (someone like Fedex) the broker fee and that Fedex will then invoice you for the charge. The retailer probably is not aware that before you can take delivery of the stroller the Canadian government expects you to pay them the $22 duty charges.

The way to solve this problem is to look for retailers that have pricing that has already factored in all the extra shipping, customs, and duties to get your stroller to you in Canada.

By doing this you will know upfront what the true cost of the stroller will be. Searching on the internet, based on our knowledge of the Canadian stroller industry, we know that you can find excellent, high quality jogger strollers for as low as $279 - and they are sold by Canadian internet companies.

So Canadian shoppers with a bit of searching on the internet can buy the jogging stroller that they want; and save a whopping $142 and eliminate all the unexpected headaches and hassles.
