Shipping your purchase from Adorama to Canada

The question of shipping options to Canada comes up regularly, so I put together the following info - hope it helps. When shopping with Adorama for shipping to Canada, you can choose from: FedEx International Economy, FedEx International Priority and UPS Express With UPS Express, there should be no additional brokerage charges for customs clearance, as these are included in the shipping fee. The same holds true for FedEx International Economy and FedEx International Priority. I understand that back in February 2008, there was a class action lawsuit filed in Ontario against UPS for hidden fees. Sales taxes and duty (if applicable - most photo items are duty free because of NAFTA), are additional and (unless you have an account with FedEx or UPS), are payable upon delivery. Duty may have been paid on the item entering the USA from the originating country if there was no FTA in place. But in any case, photographic equipment items between the US & Canada are duty-free. However, if your

How is Adorama closed on Saturdays? It makes me mad!

At Adorama we do appreciate that our closing times can be inconvenient to some of our potential customers. Adorama's owner is an observant orthodox Jewish gentleman, whose beliefs prohibit him - his family and his business - from operating on the Sabbath and on many of the religious holidays (which all begin an hour prior to sunset the evening before the day of the holiday, which is why we close early on Fridays). We can't employ non-Jews here during those days, because to do so would involve the company conducting business - which is forbidden in Jewish Law. Most holidays are actually only one or two days; two are week-long holidays. We do try to minimize inconvenience to our customers, by publicizing our closing dates well in advance. After the holiday(s) end(s), we do reopen our sales and shipping departments as soon as possible in order to deal with the inevitable backlog of orders. We would also take on add additional staff in the customer service, sales and shippi

The north of Israel is still relatively unspoilt, and we can find a treasure trove of hidden gems. Particularly when we explore the Druze villages - Israel has the world's third-largest Druze population, after Syria and Lebanon But who are the 144,000 Israeli Druze / Druze Israelis? Simon says: "Let's find out more about the Druze people": The majority identify as Arabs & are native Arabic speakers, but although their faith developed from Shia Islam, Druze do not identify as Muslims. The religion was created in the 10th and 11th centuries in Egypt, incorporating aspects of Hindu & Greek philosophy into the tenets of Islam. Conversion to the Druze religion is not permitted because of a belief that the first generation after the establishment of the religion had an opportunity then to join - and everyone alive today is reincarnated from that generation. Like the Abrahamic faiths, the Druze religion is monotheistic, and recognizes many prophets, including Moses,
