Wow, is there really even a downside to option #2? Waiting a few extra days (if need be) is nothing. My vote is cast..

Is this a trick question? Shipments to Canada are delayed at customs anyway, so a few extra days to save some fees is no big deal. Two thumbs up for option 2.

#2 sounds like a great program. If you are short on patience and can't wait a few days extra you are in the wrong hobby anyways..

I vote Option 2 but just wondering how do you calculate the taxes and duties due to prepay without knowing the total amount to be shipped on the Friday?

Default option 2

Option 2 is great. Ups from the states is over fifty percent faster than strait canadian anyway. It took two days from the us from j&l it takes ups 5-7 days to get to ontario

Option 2 works for me. Infact i recently ordered some DI filters from a Canadian distributor because i didnt know how much the final bill would be from you people and i didnt want any suprises when it arrived.
