Fedex to Canda from the USA

I need to correct my previous statement about I don't have to pay FULL taxes if ship by Fedex. Today, I received my FIRST invoice from Fedex for $2.13 of taxes for receiving a package with declared value of US$20. This is the first time out of about 15 shippments with Fedex and the lowest declared value so far that I have to pay taxes on. I will have to pay 47 cents to send the cheque out!!!

Where do you live? If you live close to the border you may be better off using a parcel service. I use "The Letter Carrier" in Point Roberts, WA. They receive the goods and I simply drive from Vancouver 30 minutes to pick up. I have had many things shipped there including a BAT VK-60. They only charge about 5 bucks to receive. You should definitely declare the goods and pay your taxes incase you have to send it back for warranty or repairs. You pay no brokerage fees however. Good Luck. Eric

Anyone who needs to know how to ship US to Canada should consider this.
