[QUOTE="CHEMMINS, post: 7916127, member: 625734"] I am in Canada, and everyone always complains about shipping here from the US. They say there is way too much red tape to send something. DO NOT USE UPS OR FED EX!!!! When the package arrives here with them, the person receiving the package then has to pay taxes, duty, and brokerage on the item. So all of that on top of the original shipping charge. USPS/Canada Post charges us the taxes. The little bit extra they charge in postage up front more than makes up for the back door costs the other companies hit us with. I know USPS is the worst way to ship with the cont 48, but it is the best wy to ship to Canada. I have been burned by UPS for $60 in fees when it was delivered on a $40 part that cost $15 to ship.....so a $40 part cost me $115.....because the shipper insisted on UPS. You can get tracking and insurance through USPS as well so no worries there. And yes I send/receive to the US about 2-3 times a month. So I know what I am talking about. [/QUOTE]
