Buying used from Canada

Fedex charged me taxes on my last used purchase from there.

... how were those items shipped?... Value?

USPS and Canada Post. Value was a few thousand, IIRC.

Curious @cleeds how were those items shipped? UPS? FedEx? Value?

I have purchased used from Canada and never paid any tax or duty.

Fedex uses their own brokers so yes you will see some import duties and "other" fees. If you use USPS fees will be less but it will take longer to arrive. Make sure whoever ships uses the correct HS codes so it clears Customs quicker. You can always ask seller to provide a reduced invoice so fees are also reduced.
