I did. Found the HTS website of which I couldn't make heads or tails out of
http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/bychapter/index.htm
and In addition to the disclaimers on amazon.ca also found this on ebay.ca:
http://reviews.ebay.ca/Canada-amp-US...00000000067340
Import to USA
Mailing Gifts and Purchases from Abroad
Gifts mailed from abroad to people in the United States can be received by them free of duty if the value of the gift does not exceed $100. Gifts for more than one person can be consolidated into one package. To be eligible for this waiver, each recipient's name must be clearly marked on the package. Non-gift purchases mailed to the United States will pass duty-free if their value does not exceed $200. The outer wrapping must be marked with the fair retail value of the contents; a description of the contents (e.g., shirts, belts, watch, figurines, etc.); and whether the package is a gift ($100 exemption) or for personal use ($200 exemption).
So again; I'm not sure how this purchase would be treated if found and scrutinized. The value of the set from amazon.ca is about 50 dollars CAD where as MSRP for the same set in the US appears to be north of 250 USD. Maybe NAFTA covers it; but I'm not 100% convinced.

I was going to buy it, then decided not to, then decided to a bought it. 60$ shipped. I just hope this isn't a Chinese copy, as a lot of the sellers on ebay are getting them from china, saying its the Canadian version, but when you look where it's shipping from it says china. I guess if it is, and I'm not satisfied, I can get my $ back.

Yea - mine shipped as well. Should come in at around US$60 after the crummy exchange rate the credit card company applies.

I also got a "shipped notice" ... I wonder how many they sold to the US market as a result of this thread ... I am guessing quite a few ...

I thought Canadian post was on strike. Unless they are using another carrier, you may be in for a long wait.

Mine is coming by DHL ... I suspect Amazon.ca is using alternate carriers for their shipments which may end up being their primary carriers after the strike is over. If the Canadian PO is in the same shape as USPS, they can't afford to lose customers. I wonder what the strike issues are ...

DHL sucks hardcore. I placed an order with Moviemars/Amazon Marketplace on June 5, 2011. It shipped the next day. I still haven't received it. For two weeks, the tracking has shown that it's "out for delivery" in Atlanta.
I don't live in Atlanta.

Just got mine. Only took 2 days from Canada.
No episode guide with the set. That sucks.
Box mentions 261 episodes but epguides.com mentions 262.

It might show up, but I had the exact same situation happen to me from Moviemars. I had them resend it, but the original item never showed up.

Got mine today. Only took 4 days to get to Pittsburgh. Item in pristine condition. Sadly, like someone noted, no episode list.
Does anyone have a link or know of a list that is DVD case size, ready to be printed and thrown in with the box?

I got my shipping notice on wednesday and received it today! 2 days is not too shabby! Even got a call from DHL saying that the package would be delivered around a certain time. Never gotten that before.
