US shipping questions

[dirtyreefer]

I was told by UPS that if the package is shipped via airmail, you will not get charged brokerage fees but of course the airmail is alot more expensive than ground. If they need to bring the package through the border via ground, then there are brokerage fees involved.

I hate UPS btw, I will only use USPS and FedEx. Been screwed by UPS too many times with their outrageous prices and crappy service.

I live about 30 mins from the border and the mailbox is just accross the line.

No brokerage... if made in the states no duty.... just GST.... usually if less than $50 they just let me go through.
Works good for me plus a lifetime membership was only $10 us plus $2 per package

Do you think I could have 600lbs of LR delivered to your Blaine PO Box?

John,
The address is 250 H st... It cost me $10 for a lifetime membership... plus its not a po box ( most people are wary of shipping to a PO Box) so my shipping address is My Name 250 H st Blaine WA and it costs me $2 us per package.. pretty sweet deal
