yep, it often works in your favor. i prefer it when sites add the duty upon checkout, makes it easier. i never really know what to expect when i get hit at the door but its still often cheaper than buying in canada. i wonder if canadian retailers will ever realize how much money they are losing by keeping prices so high. i bought a pair of boots this past winter online from the states, 48 bucks there, 120 plus tax here. after they hit me with 40 bucks for duty (i thought it was quite retarded that the duty was almost the same price as the boots but whatever) it was still nearly 60 bucks cheaper.
