I've ordered a lot from the US for the wedding and only had to pay a $5 duty charge once on a $150 invitation order.

I just got those same bags as well.  Was thinking about getting something put on them, but then decided against it in case my guests want to use them for something else, ie groceries, etc then they might not want to if our names or date are all over the front.  Do love OTC though!

I just received my order from Oriental Trading - and I am in Canada.

 

I ordered assorted tote bags, flip flop notepads, beach balls, raffia fans, bubble bottles, activiy pad assortment for kids, love playing cards, small water guns, and tropical pens.

 

I haven't taken everything apart and probably won't until we get there but everything looks great so far!! The quality is better than I would expect for the price I paid... it's not amazing but it's not very cheap either. If you have questions about any specific item, please feel free!

 

About the shipping to Canada - I don't think it was that bad... my order came to $242.33, tax was $32.44, duty was $6.94 and shipping was $38.00 - total was $319.71

 

Now, I have not been charged on my credit card yet and am hoping for no surprises.... but I didn't think it was that bad, especially compared to anything I could get in Canada... no prices compared.

 

Just my two cents :)

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
