YEah, like Brad said, we eventually got the tax refunded. Somebody must have doctored the paperwork, though, which is worrying for a country like Canada.

I regularly receive goods with mis-applied taxes from the border crossing, and have to do the paperwork to get it refunded again. Four times in a row now, all since CPC farmed it out to Purolator Global or whatever they're called. They have a deliberate incentive to mis-apply duty/taxes now, since they get to tack on C$8 every time they do it, and they get to keep their (my!) $8 every time regardless.

Slimey bastards.
