I bought from them before... I believe USPS/Canada Post charges are based on weight. I'm in Ontario and my package was shipped as 17lbs, and cost just over $300 CAD. I paid more in taxes (HST I think it was about $40) than duties (duty was only $15). Since Alberta doesn't have HST, I believe you only get taxed the 5% GST.
