Important shipping info to Canada!!

Just letting everyone know that if you ship USPS to Canada you do not get charged duty(if the product is made in Canada or USA) and no stupid brokerage fees either. The only fees you get are your province's taxes ( 6% Alberta) and a $5 handling fee, thats it! and these charges are random and sometimes you get lucky and they do not charge you at all. Maybe you guys knew thisalready but if did not, you should insist on shipping through USPS next time, It will save you hugh amounts of money!!

I always use USPS when getting stuff sent up from the States.
Avoid UPS at all costs.

The longer wait is well worth the service IMHO.

Totally agree with you.
