What is BuyForMe and how can it save you money?

BuyForMe is a service that enables users to bypass retail purchasing restrictions and qualify for tax exemptions in Canada. Not only can this save you money, but it’s also a handy way to avoid complications that may arise with international purchasing.

In addition, most provinces have an additional 7-10% PST (Provincial Sales Tax) or HST (Harmonized Sales Tax that [...]
