Shipping and Duties

As you've probably realized by now, buying thiuram free shoes is challenging and expensive. Often, you're buying brands from companies in other countries that you have to import from and pay customs. This gets pricey. Supposedly there is a way around this if you explain to customs officials you can get it waived. I've never had success with this. However, I did pay for shoes that were the wrong size and had to return them. I pursued the fees and got the money back from Canadian customs.
Other ideas:
1) Check the "Gift" box when purchasing shoes online; sometimes you don't have to pay customs.
2)Ask people who are travelling to buy a pair of shoes for you and bring them to you to save you shipping
3) Use shoe shopping in Europe as an excuse for travelling :) This is my future goal!!
