I pulled Fila stores in Canada and found this, NORTH AMERICAN SPORTS LTD 3695 E. HASTINGS STREET V5K 2B1 VANCOUVER British Columbia Ph.604.299.1721 Anybody there knows whether it worths visiting for Ferrari replica and vintage stuff shopping??
there is a fila store on robson. They might still have some fila/ferrari stuff for sale. that's where i got my jacket a while ago
They still have some stuff (I peeked in there last Saturday), but mostly stocking the Fila/Ducati stuff. Warning Shelbee, the prices are much higher than in the States (even when accounting for the exchange rate), plus you must pay 7% PST, and 7.7% GST. Though you can get the GST back, if the purchase is over $50 and you remember to either file for it at the border, or get the receipt stamped by Canada Customs (to prove the items left the country). Haven't been to the other store yet (but saw that listing too, last year), E. Hasting is a "scuzzy" area....you don't want to park your Ferrari around there. You will attract drug addicts and "scabby" prostitutes like flies with your car! Dave
7.7% GST refunds is very easy. I have done that before at the truck route crossing. Very quick they just need the proof of original receipts. You can even get the US $ back with exchange there. Not sure where E. Hasting there. I will perhaps go to the store in Robson
Okay, I will take you to Fila on Saturday, but prepare to grab ankles before stepping across the threshold...
Guys, consider www.theitalianimage.com The shipping cost is not too expensive, good stuff. I had good experience with them
