That's why I rent a mail box just across the boarder. Will just drive over to pick up. Of course not worth the gas and time if it's something small and available in Canada. My hubby buys stuff like tires, radiator, games, electronic staff, etc
I paid $38 extra to UPS when my ebay item was delivered at my house. The item I won is $50us and S&H to seller is $27us. So from now on whenever the carrier is UPS, I avoid to bid.
Go to Point Robert to pick up....only took me 45 min.. including driving and waiting time at the border.
I just bought $75US from AMAZON.com, free shipping to US address.
When I returned, no tax.....................
Easy easy..
I bought something from US, and the buyer accidentally shipped by UPS. To 'boycoytt' UPS's unacceptable fee, I called them up and said I will do the clearance myself.
To do that, when the item arrives:
1. Go to the UPS depot in Richmond Airport and pick up the item description form;
2. Go CBSA, about 10 minutes drive, and do the tax clearance;
3. Then, take the form back to UPS and they will release the item to you, free.
Of course I have to take 1/2 day off for doing so, but I just don't want the stupid UPS to eat up my 'blood sweat money'.
