Title: BTL FPGAs shipping to Canada
Post by: sohum on June 21, 2012, 02:15:03 PM
Has anyone had any of BFL's equipment shipped to Canada on here?  It has been my experience that the most common way of shipping in the States in by UPS ground (which is probably the cheapest) but when that arrives at the border there are huge costs added which can be avoided if they are shipped by other means.

I am curious how anyone who had received equipment from them had it shipped and what it cost?  Is BFL willing to ship in other ways?  I have asked this question to them directly on their web page but I have not received an answer.

Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated.

USPS is your best bet, cheaper fee for customs clearing with a chance of free on Lazy Days :)
