Depends on the company used (UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, etc) and what you tell / don't tell customs (IE: what you write down / don't write down on the customs form you fill out before sending the package off).

Don't worry about duty fees. Thats our responsibilty once it arrives. Usually the shipping carrier charges it. It's not too different than shipping within the states.

I sold my Decware Zen to a gent in BC...didn't have a problem on the outbound side. He probably paid an assload for duty fees on his side, though.

Yeah that is a downside of having to buy from the states all the time. But it almost always works out to be hella cheaper than local, thats for sure. It sucks when you get hit with taxes/duties not only once, but multiple times if you have to return or exchange something. Just paid for 2 JL 12W6V2's, was $500 shipped US and right around $600 Cad. I don't know how much more Fedex is gonna want to **** me of. Still beats shelling out $750+taxes each locally and still have to order them without being able to hear them first.

VOA - Depending on what your shipping, Fedex is usually pretty good. UPS is ok, but USPS has been very slow lately.

Jason -I agree with you on the USPS being slow lately, I have been waiting FOREVER for a dang money order to come. I think they are just being slow to agravate me. Or are money orders always slow? Everyday I go to my mail box, and nothing....

Well one is a amp and the other is a cd player, the amp i used to push my 2 jl 12w6v2's lol. But he wants everything in canadian prices so would he send me a canadian money order and a normal bank can cash it?

Yeah as long as he sends you an "international" money order. I would just ask him to pay you in US funds. I never ask for a price in CAD funds. Makes more work than needed.
