MMMM...yes NAFTA. Not alot of 'FREE' in NAFTA. I try and avoid shipping UPS out of the states (i live in Canada) as they show up at your door several weeks late with a bill; for duty (a % of your purchase), tax on duty, provincial sales tax on purchase, and federal sales tax on purchase, and they want a check before they hand over the merchandise.
Does anyone know of a carrier who is less expensive than UPS? Sometimes it's best to understate the value of shipment, but this just compromises your insurance amount if the package should be damaged. You can squeek inexpensive items which won't break through customs if: you use post, state the value as less than $50.00, and check the box that says "is this a gift".But of course this method is useless with large expensive items. How do you do it???
