How do I find out how much the custom/duty fees will be or if there are any at all. I understand that if an item is manufactured in the US then there are no cutom fees. I live one hour from the border, so I plan on having it shipped to a place just a mile over the US border and then driving back into Canada with the stroller.

Many people shop online these days. Doing all your shopping for birthdays and holidays, clothes and appliances, and household items and furniture can save time, gas money, and frustration. I try to do as much shopping online as I can when I have to buy something new because I hate to go to the mall. There are a few things a newcomer to online shopping should be aware of before typing in their credit card and making a purchase.
Before buying something online seek out the help of a search engine. You may think there’s only one place to buy the product from a store you’ve shopped at before. Make a quick search on Google for the product you’re looking for and see what pops up. Many times there are discount sites that offer cheaper prices than the store you were going to originally. You can shop around just the same on the internet as you can in a physical mall or store. For instance, if you’re building a computer and are looking for a new printed circuit board, shop around online and see what you can get in a search result. Don’t settle for the first site you come across and for the first price you see.
Along with shopping for a deal online, there are many sites that offer coupon codes when checking out of a sale. If you’re trying to buy a new stroller for your baby and find a good price at a particular store online, search around for a coupon code to enter into the code field at the end of checking out. I’ve saved lots of money when buying a product just by doing a little coupon research before clicking the final sale button.
It goes without saying that you need to make sure you buy a product from a reputable source. If you’re going to buy something from an online classified source, make sure you deal locally and talk to the person over the phone or in person before sending any money. If I’m going to buy something from a personal sale, I always ask to meet the dealer in person and check out the product before promising or giving any money online. Always be wary of a dealer that requires an online payment before meeting or talking.
Online shopping can make your life a lot simpler. I do all my Christmas shopping online nowadays and love being about to avoid the hassle of stores and traffic around the holidays. And for birthdays it can’t be beat, especially if the person having a birthday lives across the county. I can go online, find a good gift, and have it shipped to the birthday girl or boy with a personalized message. It’s made for very simple and happy birthdays. Shop smart, know from whom you’re buying, and do a little coupon research before you make a purchase. Then you can relax and do something fun with your free time. Like not having to go shopping.

We have been researching for some time and are looking at everything from the Quinny Buzz and the Mountain Buggy Urban Single to the Bertini M5 and the Rock Star Baby…

So i have a high risk pregnancy and an overly cautious and slightly superstious husband, so i am 23 weeks and i have bought NOTHING… this however has been replaced by EXCESSIVE amounts of research on baby stuff, every freaking baby object you can imagine i have went nuts on reading reviews of, especially strollers. I have read so many blogs, seen so many pictures, i am literally obssessed with this stroller thing, i even read the reviews of European websites and i use a translator sometimes! I thought I had it figured out and settled on the Quinny Buzz + bassinet + Maxi-Cosi-Mico car seat, but then i realized the maxi cosi only lasts to 20 pounds and my friends baby is 22 pounds at 4 months! THen i saw the PEG PEREGO SKATE, and now i think i want that stroller instead. I was obssessed with the Stokke Explorey before i saw the Quinny in the store. I never liked the bugaboo b/c of it folds in two pieces. SO now i am just becoming super confused!!!!!!! What should i do? what stroller do i get? I am getting it later but i want to decide on it now? Please do not tell me i am insane for spending a lot of money on a stroller, i know it is excessive but when i went to Babies R US to look at the basic things like Graco and Evenflo I almost cried. They do not compare, and i do not want to buy another stroller in a year because those fell apart. I live in the city, the stroller has to be sturdy, i do not go on public transport pretty much ever , I do not use a car often, only with my husband (its a stick, i dont know how to drive it) ….. i want a stroller that is forward and rare facing and i want something that will last until child 1 is 4 and then through any other children i will have.
umm the stuff at babies r us sucked. They do not have the same stuff as they do online. They do not have stokke in stores or even bugaboo, atleast not the store i went to
Unfortuanatley i am in the US. The stroller options availabe in Europe just do not compare to anything we have here. The best strollers here are imported from EU, and only few are imported. You guys have the Joolz Bloom out recently, i can not even look at it as no store has it.
