Ruth,

I have heard a lot of bad things about ordering from the States, like border charges. Did you have this problem?

There are a couple of threads kicking around on this - try a search as I am at work and don't have time to look right now. Anyway my experience is get the seller to ship USPS. As long as the product is made in the States there should not be any customs or duties (in a nutshell). UPS and Fedex charge large brokerage fees so if possible avoid them as a shipper. If I use USPS I usually have to pay the applicable GST and PST on pickup and a small brokerage fee - usually around $5.
