Setup a US address in Blaine or somewhere close to the border and have them ship there. Then go across and pick it up.
You save around $20CAD for every $100USD spent. So if you buy something for $500USD, you would have to pay around $100CAD duty. This way you save that additional cost.
Also, even though UPS has been getting a bad rap on RC, I find it very fast and cheap. One guy sent me a tunze steams package (10lbs) from Chicago to Sumas for $10USD and it came in 4 days.
USPS is a rip off and takes forever.
