From Global News.

A B.C. couple says they were stunned to discover they were being asked to pay duties on a family heirloom that was shipped back to them from a friend in Washington state.

James Baker-Taylor and Andrea Nelson got married in 2024 after 10 years together.

When the couple was visiting family in Washington state, Baker-Taylor took off the ring to have a shower and forgot to put it back on.

They arranged to have it insured for $500 and shipped back to their Nanaimo home.

“When they showed up with the package, we were very surprised to learn that it was going to be $189,” Nelson said.

“I was stunned. I was flabbergasted by the whole thing.”

Global’s As Kylie Stanton reports, the couple is now warning others.
