从Amazon买了几本书，收到了，好像没要我消费税呀。有人有类似经历吗？如果属实的话，买点贵重东西又如何呢？如数码相机.

我听说$60以下没税，但多了就很难说了，有时只收GST。要买相机你可去EBAY看看，经常能抓到便宜货。

我也从网上定了一套书+光盘，加运费共三百五十多加元，但取货时邮局有多收了我三十多加元，不知道是怎么回事？

If you buy books from Amazon, you should have submitted the customs tax, charged by Canada Post or any courier who ships your order, because they already pay for you in advance. If you want to order electronics products from US, mostly you can't because now US is restricting shopping websites to ship within US. So if you order electronics stuff from Amazon, it will tells you this can't be shipped to outside of US. And if your friend in US help you to buy the stuff, they pay their states shopping tax (if applicable), but the shipping destination still has to be US. You can go www.ecost.com, they have service call "freeborder" for Canadian customers to pay the tax in advance so that you can see the final price before take the order, but the merchandise is not very tempting there, just giving you a sense of how's difference.
No cheap stuff anymore. Online shopping is as usual as regular store now!

I have bought some books from Amazon twice so far.
No any extra taxes charged. However, when I bought
some cosmetics from another webside, I had to pay an extra $14 postage.
