First and foremost, if its electronics, make sure they are US voltage. I have bought from Canada only with no problems. Have them ship it by Mail if possible. UPS or Fedex shipping almost always has some kind of surcharge from what I have been told.
Buying from outside the United States?
Hi. I couldn't find a similar post, so I started one. I've recently seen ads by foreign hi-fi dealers that offer great prices on foreign gear. Has anyone ever ordered an item from overseas? Do you have to deal w/customs or duties associated with the transaction. What pitfalls must you be wary of? I don't want to start the debate over loyalty to local shops, so lets assume the item in question can not be found locally. Thanks.
