H.S.T.
OR “HARMONIZED SALES TAX”, IN EFFECT AS OF JULY 1ST, AND HOW IT APPLIES TO YOU, OUR VALUED COMICSHOPPERS!
IN A NUTSHELL, ANY ITEM FORMERLY SOLD WITH THE 5% GOODS & SERVICES TAX (G.S.T.) ADDED (I.E. -EVERYTHING IN THE STORE!) WILL NOW INCLUDE THE 12% H.S.T.
IN PRACTICAL TERMS, THE “ONLY” ITEMS THAT YOU’LL BE PAYING MORE FOR THAN YOU DID BEFORE WILL BE... COMICS AND MAGAZINES! (COMICS IN THE COMICSHOP? WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!)
ON THE “POSITIVE SIDE”, AT LEAST BOOKS, GRAPHIC NOVELS AND CHILDREN’S CLOTHING ARE ELIGIBLE FOR AN INSTANT “POINT-OF-SALE REBATE”, ESSENTIALLY A 5% H.S.T. CHARGE ON THOSE ITEMS AS OPPOSED TO THE NOW-STANDARD 12%.
THE COMICSHOP EXTENDS ITS SYMPATHIES TO OUR LOYAL PATRONS DURING THIS DIFFICULT – BUT HOPEFULLY TEMPORARY – TURN OF EVENTS, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT IN THE FUTURE!
As the Canadian Dollar continues its backslide away from parity with its U.S. counterpart, THE COMICSHOP has unfortunately had to readjust its exchange rate on the cover price of new comics and graphic novels to reflect the growing rift between currencies. This readjustment will be added to the cover price of new comics at the point of purchase, while graphic novels will have the new exchange rate applied directly to our labelled sticker price.
For further information on THE COMICSHOP'S new exchange rate policy, feel free to ask any of our helpful COMICSHOP staff members!
Your understanding in this unfortunate turn of economic events, as well as your continued loyalty to THE COMICSHOP, is greatly appreciated!
Vancouver's Best Comic Book Shop for the second year in a row, as chosen by The Georgia Straight's latest "Best of Vancouver" annual edition ! : A great big "Thank You" to all of The Comicshop customers out there who voted us as the Number One Comic Book Shop in
this year's "Best of Vancouver" issue of The Georgia
Straight! Taking nothing away from our
distinguished competition, we like to think of this as a ringing endorsement
that "location, location, location" aren't the only prerequisites
taken into consideration when choosing a favourite
retailer, and that service, selection, product knowledge and a personable,
inclusive atmosphere still count for something in this age of monster chainstores and online, anti-"brick-&-mortar"
websites! (Sorry about that, but it's been about a year since my last rant and
I just needed to release some of the pressure!)
