Default Who has orders from bulk reef supplies?

Just wondering who has ordered from them and if u were charged duty on your order. I was ordering a bunch of stuff then the tax rate was like 13% at the check out so I sent them a email asking why. Also said free shipping but then said it would be almost 50 bucks. Then if u have to add duty on top off all that it's not really worth the savings.???

The free shipping is only for US members
Duty is prepaid/covered in the total they quote

They ship via UPS and the method by which they ship means you will pay no duty or brokerage other than what you pay directly to BRS. I have ordered through them a few times. Feel free to call them to confirm that is still the case, they were very clear and helpful with me when I called,

They charge the 13% and it includes any charges incurred shipping cross boarder.


I order from them. There are no additional charges. What you see On check out is the total.


Fast service too. I recommend.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I used to order from these guys all the time until I realized they are charging 15% for taxes on top of the shipping price. That might not be too bad for BC or other places but its 10% more than you should be paying in Alberta.

I complained about it but he said there was nothing that could be done as it was based on the port of entry. That doesn't really make any sense to me.

There is a Canadian website at www.reefwater.net that sells BRS products so you can avoid the high brokerage and shipping charges.

Okay, I just assumed you were looking for actual BRS products.

I would email them first with a dumb question and see how quick they reply.
