Yeah I would have declined that too (DS).... I hope they don't do that for all of their prizes. If things are free and you won them, you should have to pay customs fees, it's not a purchase :/ IMO anyway
P.S. Thanks everyone for the new words :)

Thanks again. I put my blog in my sig. I'll update it when I put out a new one.
By the way just going back through the thread about the charging for Duties and Taxes and unfortunately, if the electronic device is made in a non NAFTA country ( excluding Canada, US, Mexico), they will charge duties and taxes on it. It wouldn't matter if it was free or not so it isn't PnP's fault.
Secondly don't forget folks, we aren't "winning" anything. We are trying to redeem for things we like with points they have given us generously. It's not like we won a contest when we redeem our points rather more like making a purchase using a free gift card and bringing the balance to "zero".
Those who didn't have to pay custom duties most likely redeemed for lower end prizes like books and other media forms which customs would ever rarely go after as most media is produced in the country it is being shipped from.
UPS, Fedex, other couriers and even Canada Post also liason as "Brokers" which is usually cleared up by the courier company. For example if you ordered a prize (nintendo DS) through PnP. They will have no problem shipping it, but because it has duties and taxes being an electronic device probably made in China, it will have duties and taxes on it. What tends to happen is you will get a call from UPS asking basically how you wish to pay the import duties and custom taxes while it awaits clearance. If it has already cleared customs, it will show up at your door with UPS and a statement in hand for you to pay right there. Of course if you refuse to pay it does get shipped back the bill for shipping costs goes to PnP for shipping.
Just an F.Y.I.
thanks for the words!
