phew that's crazy!
The seller declared it at $800 and I was taxed $120 total. I'm assuming you live in Canada...? And I'm assuming you have to pay PST as welll...?
I'm not sure if it's true but I found that FedEx/UPS shipments are always taxed/charged more. When I get stuff shipped via USPS it's slightly less.
I hope my flap won't get taxed so much... eek.
Cute, congrats! When I saw your first pic of the bag in the dust bag, I had a feeling it was the Medallion Tote! Hee, I thought you mentioned before that you wanted one.
