Golftown sold to Golfsmith?

I emailed them about the daily deal and they answered that they were re-vamping the website and the daily deal would be up and running soon.

but if its shipped from the US, you'll have to deal with the usual costs/delays of bringing things over the border....and hope they choose to ship USPS otherwise it's useless. USPS rates all went up about 2 weeks ago so its a lot more expensive now.

Maybe we should give them the benefit of the doubt, for now anyway. Many of us have bought from for e.g. 3Balls, where our purchase arrived within two business days as opposed to two weeks vial mail. Canada Post also now charges a $9.95 handling fee, up from $5 I think it was previously. As well, many US shippers, particularly the ones with a Canadian presence, offer bargain shipping rates. I'm thinking of Puma.com - free shipping over $85.

You can always have stuff shipped to Ogdensburg (UPS Store) and pick them up there. They charge $5 per package, and you pay the taxes at the border.

47 min. to the border. Average wait time, 10 min.Pay toll, $2.75 Drive 3 km to fill up the tank @ $3.72/ u.s gal, 10 min. Stop at Walmart and pick up a few cheaper grocery items like butter, milk ...( way cheaper in the states, non taxable) 20 min. Go to Proctor street to Coporate Center ( same idea as UPS store ) and pick up package @ $3.00/package, 15 min. Head back to Canada, pay toll again, arrive at border and wait 15 min. Go in and pay the HST on your goods 15 min. back home in 47 min.

Time>>>> Under 3 hrs. round trip

$$$>>>> About $15 in gas $5.25 in toll charges, $3.00/ package = $25.00

Bonuses >>>> Cheap fuel if you go down near empty, cheap groceries, no brokerage fees

Draw backs >>>>>>>> What's your time worth ?

Conclusion: For me it's well worth it.
