CA Customs HST -21.68
Brokerage GST -4.73
COD GST - 0.55
Total Govt Charges 26.96
+
Brokerage Charges 40.65
+
UPS Shipping charges 38.36
ALWAYS REQUEST NON-UPS DELIVERY!! I've never been charged like this using USPS...
Total -105.97"Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men...

myusaddress.ca in Ogdensburg is your friend.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Ogdensburg is also a great option if you are stuck with UPS. I have done this quite often - UPS to yourself at the UPS Store in Ogdensburg. Cost $5 per package and a drive down/back. I have been hit and miss with customs charges at the border depending on the season. USPS is still the best option IMHO.

Oggy is best for UPS, there are no charges at the border, just taxes, fill up when your there and it makes the trip worthwhile.

Ogdensburg is a lovely little town....I think I've met everyone there by now!
Bill's Tires is another great spot near the McDonalds. Honest and hardworking fella who always gives you a good deal...

I use mymallbox.com and have avoided the extra charges so far.
