Canadian Customs

[NESK]

if you guys are in soutern ontario there are some really cheap mailboxes that can be rented for a monthly fee just over the border. also, you can have stuff sent there and pay per order which works out to about $5 US a package no matter what the size. after that its just a matter of coming back over the border with it. as for clothes this is never a problem. a computer might be a little difficult because id imagine youd want to hold onto the manual, box, etc.

here's the site with the UPS rates for canadians:

i also have a list for the fedex rates and they're slighty less than UPS.

i just recieved my first ever parcel shipped by UPS expecting to pay roughly $50 in fees but the unit values were marked really low so i ended up not paying anything at all. heh.

This, I believe, is what UPS charges, on top of true customs/duty charges. This is why UPS blows, as they have these handling fees. For example, if you are in Canada, and order from Urbanoutfitters.com, you get dinged a flat $30.
