Have any Canadian members ordered AlphaDerma
from Janson Beckett? If so, what were the taxes or duty taxes, that were added on to your order as it crosssed the boarder? They tell me at JB that there are no taxes, at all, but I am afraid that I'll have Canadian taxes to pay... and I won't be covered if I don't budget for them.
Can anyone help?
Thanks. |

I've never ordered from Jansen Beckett directly but I have ordered skincare that was taxed by customs. It's been a couple of years so I don't recall the exact duty percentage but it was somewhere between 10-18%. Then you've got the PST and GST, plus the $5 handling charged by Canada Post. 
Have you considered buying from EDS? It might well be cheaper. |

Thanks for your replies.. I appreciate the feedback. Excuse me for being so in the dark, but I thought that EDS and Janson Beckett site were affiliated!
AS for the EDS site being cheaper- the Janson Becket site has an ongoing special called the Gift of Youth pack, in which you are able to buy for example:
a 4oz ADCE
a 4oz skin prep
and a cleansing milk
all for $159.99 U.S.
for about $39, you can replace the cleansing milk with an Okusil.
Do you still find the EDS forum cheaper to buy from? If so, can you please tell me how do I order from them?
Thanks!

Hi Andrea,
Oh gosh yes, EDS is HEAPS cheaper... not only because you pay in CAD, but you will get a 10% member discount AND there is a free gift of a full size C&C Serum!
(edit) OK< maybe not heaps cheaper, but comparative.  especially when you consider the free vitamin C serum (which goes very well with the ADCE and Prep people say). Right back to work... (end of edit)
EDS pricing on the same pack:
$127 ADCE
$87 Prep
$22 Milk
Total: CA$236
+ FREE C&C facial serum value $59
AND you will get 5% forum member discount AND free shipping
So you would get all the above for CA$224.20
If you wanted to get Okusil instead:
$179 ADCE and Okusil (special pack here on EDS)
$87 Prep
Total: CA$266 (only $252.70 after member discount) AND you still can have the free C&C serum
Here is the link to the Janson Beckett products (hard to find here as they are listed as ADCE) http://www.essentialdayspa.com/alphaderma-anti-ageing.htm
Make sure you sign in at the shop using the same email address you use here on the forum so that your member discount will appear at checkout.
Happy shopping
(second edit... I forgot to mention.. you will also get great customer service here and lovely samples with your order!)
(final edit.. you can save a few more bucks by getting the ADCE+Prep set and adding Okusil onto it. That works out $4 cheaper than buying ADCE+Okusil and adding Skin Prep) |

I discovered EDS when shopping around for Janson Becket last year. Little did I know that I would become an EDS addict!
Save yourself the hassle of dealing with customs (because you will be paying duty, taxes & handling charge), buy here at EDS & you know exactly what it's going to cost & also get great service. |

Thank-you to all who replied to this question! It took me a few days to get it figured out, but you are indeed correct- the EDS is indeed the better way to go.
I am still doing a little comparison, though- with the option of ordering on ebay... I know it is risky, but it seems to be so much CHEAPER! So I have posted a question on here about ebay, before I just go ahead and order, I'm going to research .......
I certainly will order from EDS if the ebay idea doesn't pan out. thanks again for your help!

| Be careful on eBay, Andrea, as I understand that there was some dodgy Janson Beckett stuff on there. |
