iv never used this.its telling me my subtotal is 51.88 euro's does that mean is it the final cost or will I have pay taxes some way to customs on top this ?

You'll only pay customs if customs catch it on the way in. It will be held up in the local postal holding center until the customs are paid, you'll get a note in the door telling you where and how much it will cost. However that's if it gets caught. I've only very rarely been caught by customs, four times in total in the numerous years I've been importing so it's worth taking a chance and I've not been caught for post from videogamesplus.ca

23% of the total cost plus around €5 handling fee. It usually takes around 7 working days.

7 working days at best. I just find it's best to order and forget about it. Sometimes it can take a lot longer.

Same here.

Not as attractive as they used to be with the exchange rate these days, postage is about €7 from what I recall so a little annoying they take so long to arrive here.

For what it's worth regards customs there's a chance they might stop it but unlikely, think they mark the package dvd optical media with a value of 16.99. Been ages though so not 100% on that , do recall a significantly lower value being on the box last time though.

emm I think about 35 canadian dollars

It's rather unlikely but there's also the risk of getting snared by customs. They'll charge you VAT.
