Also, I'd avoid UPS shipping like the plague, unless you do air (which is expensive). Their customs fees are through the roof...
I only ship by USPS (or whatever normal service they provide). I've been burned by using couriers before so from now on I just use normal post. Never had a problem with customs since. Though I've never ordered so much at once before. We'll see if I get charged anything. It's only a $70 order so I doubt I'd be paying more than $10 anyway
Good plan. Customs charges shouldn't be much for an order that small. I use regular post too. Too bad airmail still takes 3 weeks to get to Canada. I suspect that's largely the fault of Customs.
Wow, that's a long timeMost things come a week later for me but I'm closer to the boarder than you are I think. Besides, the actual order is under $60 so I doubt I will pay anything. Just gotta wait till next week. Should be here Tues or Wed.
I'm actually pretty close to the border. It must be a distance thing, or it could just be that customs really sucks here. I wouldn't be surprised if they hold shipments for a week or more.
