That's where the problem lies; I've bought tons of smaller items from the US (ebay, companies etc..) and on a few occasions I got dinged for customs/import fees, because some items came either UPS or fedex etc.. And they add their "fees" in there as well (calling it a "brokerage fee"). So now, I ask 1st their method of shipping, I rather have stuff sent USPS; even if they declare the total amount on the customs label (some mark it as a "gift", with a lower $$ value) but many times shipping this way doesn't include insurance.
This is why I was looking for a dealer/company in Canada. I might be heading to the US in October, for a couple hockey games (Sudbury Wolves OHL) as we went to both Saginaw and Plymouth last year. We are looking at going there again, (wife likes the shopping in Saginaw) and tool outlets/dealers in those areas?
If she can do some shopping so can I......
Thanks, Ken
