| Hey, im trying to buy a few things from B&H but when i go to shipping, i try to select UPS Global express (2-3 days) and click calculate shipping, it resets back to UPS airmail parcel post( 7-10 days). Im from Canada, but it says Global express, why would it have trouble shipping to canada? |

Might need to clear customs
But that's just a guess

Not sure what you mean, my problem is it only lets me select the air mail which is 7-10 days (too long). Im hopeing i can find somewhere that ships faster, i want this lens before i go to california :( |

do not use UPS !!!
to Canada only use USPS!!
it might seem to take a bit longer but due to the *%&*&^%"!! gouging that UPS / FedEx does on so called Brokerage fees (25$+ GST/PST and a %)
where USPS/CanadaPost is 6.70$ + GST/PST

It will be held up at UPS brokerage/Customs for 3-10 days no mater what the web site says -- you would be better off hunting in the location in California

I had that exact problem 20 mins ago. The trick is, don't press calculate! You'll notice when you change your selection, the total price changes immediately. Calculate just recalculates the country again and sets it to the default for that country. You have to choose shipping again later on anyway, this one's just so you can see price differences when you add and remove stuff from your cart.
