As a "Receiever" at a business that has almost ALL of it's products imported (mostly from China) I see the costs on the import documents.
Imported items that are to be resold DO NOT, as a rule, have sales taxes applied to them when received. There are some other taxes and duties for some things but they are not the regular sales taxes.
However, even when transferring products between branches of the same company in different provinces each branch must pay the appropriate taxes for the branch it is sourced from. (In my case, any branch outside of BC must pay the BC HST taxes for the item and then they only get their own provincial sales tax applied when they sell it so they need to adjust their pricing to accommodate the difference. Item cost + HST - PST = final cost)
I agree that CNI is treating you disrespectfully. Get your money back and take advantage of the other offer.
Based on the responses here, you are already receiving better customer service.
And you know that they keep an eye on things with the community too.
Now if you will excuse me, I am going to visit their website to browse the products offered...I like good service and am willing to pay for it.
