Next time you should just have BRS ship it direct to your door as they cover all the duty costs and their shipping is fairly reasonable.

Yes, that is easiest way, but I ordered heavy stuff and spent more than their free shipping amount. If I receive at my door, my shipping cost is $130, so I don't save any.

I usually go down to states for fuel up and grocery shopping and I believe within 24 hours, we can only bring back Canadian $50 value per person. I spent more than US$240, so that is one of the reason I warry about and also I don't like a lots of paper work.
Anyway, thanks guys I'll pick them up later today.

Actually less than 24 hrs gets you nothing but I find most customs agents will let you by with at least $100. Over 24 hrs and you get $200.

If they do make you pay tax its fast and easy mm you just show the receipt.

I find Drs Foster & Smith great for shipping heavy stuff. I always get my salt from them and they can ship it to my door cheaper than i can drive to Winnipeg.

Their selection available to Canadians is great. I just use BRS for the additives and RO/DI filters etc.
