Shipping Large Amp across Canadian Border?


I am thinking of purchasing a Simaudio Amp or Mono's. As most pieces offered on this site are in the U.S I would be cross border shipping. Any input as to the associated costs and problems would be appreciated (ie: Duty, ta xes) What is the best method for shipping, Postal Service ?, or is 100 lb.s too heavy?

Agree with Pbb. I am Canadian and have US Audiogoner's ship to either a FedEx or UPS depot (again a "Hold for Pickup") just within the US and I go and pick it up myself. I live about 1.5 hours from the border. You will require a bill of sale (of which you will pay PST and GST taxes on it, no duty for products made in Canada) and then you will be on your merry way.
