Canadians read this before mail ordering from USA

[ibeddows]

I made a US purchase which was shipped by truck because I neglected to specify regular mail. Regular mail collects a customs fee of $5.00. After I received the truck shipment I received a brokerage bill for $55.00. So to save yourself being ripped off specify regular mail and develope your sense of patience.

Actually the USPS has been shipping overseas and that means to Canada also by the ALICE P FERGUSON AIRLINE AND STORMDOOR CO[:D][:D]for years. The airline uses the most update equipment too. They have the cleanest Ford Trimotors in the industry...very dependable...even if they are just a tad slower than a DC3. Their best service only takes a month to travel from Detroit to the Canadian border, so cheer up, someone has to pay for all that AV GAS. These planes don't fly on the GREAT AMERICAN MEAL, BEANS[:D][:D][:D]

[(-D][(-D][(-D]This reply gave me a bout of GAS. ROFL![:D]

I'm not trying to blame the UP Post Office,

So now UP isn't just trying to screw the modeler's, they now have their own Postal service so they can screw the entire world? [:D][:p]

Hmmmmmmmmmm very interesting.

Actually I always specify USPS, then I get the choice of Air or Ground.

Never a problem! It's the regular GST + PST + $5 processing fee.

If you go UPS it's a whopping $60 for brokerage fees etc. who needs that. OTOH I'm not in such a big fat hurry for my hobby items.[;)][:D]

[:)] I've ordered stuff from the U.S. for years. I get better service to Newfoundland from California using USPS than I do from Canada Post. I can get an Athearn boxcar in about 7 days. Just use air parcel post or letter post. Forget the couriers.

U.P.S into Canada from the U.S. is nuts, they chrage you $40.00 to $50.00 to put it though customs,(its more like ROB you) Canadian post has one fee for this service its $5.00 and thats only if you have to pay duty on it, The best luck I've had is going with U.S. P.S. airmail. I get it at my post office then and pay the $5.00 fee plus P.S.T. and G.S.T, and if theres no duty slipe I pay nothing.
