Shipping to Canada from USA

What is the best way to ship. I ordered adjustable weights from Cutlers and the brokerage fees from Purolator were like 1/3 of the cost of the total bill.WTF!

Is there a better way to ship even if it takes longer

USPS. And I find I get things even quicker because the stuff spends less time at the border.

USPS cheaper that UPS

Send it as a gift with a value of 3$. Broker fees suck but they have us by the ballz. Even then sometimes they charge you sometimes they dont. I have ordered 10-15 parts for my office and get brokerage and duty fees 50+$. Isnt that just awesome.

Go USPS. That's how my shocks were shipped from the states and the cost was pretty good.

If you can get the shipper to write down that the parts are for warranty item, they sometimes won't slap on the taxes.

USPS fo sho.

If I can't get it USPS I usually don't order it.

Yep USPS is the only way. Couldn't believe getting a $80 bill 3 months later for only a $220 item, that was already like $50 to ship! UPS, Fedex, and Puralotor all the same with the horrid brokerage fees.

Ditto!

Between the friggin brokerage fee and the exchange you're better off buying local. UPS screws Canadians so bad......at least they don't leave lipstick on the collar.
USPS obviously takes longer but is so much cheaper.
I bought a pair of 509 sinister goggles on line yesterday. $74.95 plus $12.00 for shipping via USPS to Western Canada. After exchange the total was $102.43. A lot for a pair of Goggles but I can't find them around here. Some of the cheaper priced sellers only shipped UPS, so No Sale.
