Shipping from US to Canada


Hi everyone,

I've never bought anything over the net before, but would like to know how the US-CAN shipping works. Let's say I buy a headphone amp for 200 USD used ... will they charge me tax on this (even though it's used)? If I ship with UPS, which is the cheapest, can I tell the seller to fix the value at say, 50 USD (and hence, pay less tax), but still have UPS insure it for 200 USD? I figure this is not too outrageous since the purchase could be something with zero market value, but worth a lot for the individual.

Thank You.

simple.Use only USPS.Have bought over 200 items in last 4 years never a proble.Used UPS once big problem.
Yes UPS being the criminals that they are will ding you about 30.00 Canadain to clear the package.They dont tell you this.Its called the UPS stick it in your ear charge.
The Package can be sent as a small packet.Shipping will be much less.than 15.00 about 6/7 US.USPS is your best choice.
