Re: [RE: Shipping from Canada]

["Sal Guzzo" <pellom@yorku.ca>]

When shipping used items from the USA to Canada, I ask the sender to use
regular post.  It's the cheapest route.  As well, I ask the sender to send
the items as gifts worth about $5 to $10.  In that way, I don't have to
worry about the duties and any other taxes they wish to charge.

I've shipped a coupla parts to the States from Canada via regular post.
Flat fee and no additional charges such as taxes, duties, fees, etc were
added.  Well, that's to the best of my knowledge anyways.

HTH
