Wondering if it's possible to ship via USPS for Canadian orders (or at least for mine)? FedEx, like UPS, apparently charges hefty brokerage fees at the border.

On top of that, we are paying HST and brokerage when we get the package. But I still prefer my order to be sent Fedex. USPS is good but you'll be getting it who knows when and if your package is flagged by Customs, you'll wait weeks before you get it. It happened to me once, where incoming USPS package (handled by CanadaPost on our side) was stopped in Customs; CanadaPost and Customs played "it is not me it is him" game to two weeks. I called Canada Customs, they referred me to CanadaPost. When I called CanadaPost, they referred me to Canada Customs. Total nightmare.
I hope your USPS package gets in without a hassle.
gulp! now you've got me worried. never dealt much specifically with USPS (or FedEx, for that matter); i'm just thinking of my positive experiences with canada post, and the extortionate brokerage fees that UPS slaps on cross-border packages. this actually raises an interesting point -- what's the value of these things for customs declarations? my bitcoins were a LOT cheaper than $128 each. |

thieves, all of 'em!
my work requires a lot of supplies that are a LOT more readily available (and at better prices) in the USA, but i've been using the more expensive domestic sources more and more just because i hate lining the couriers' pockets. $35 to fill out a form!

If the miners do come in tomorrow, would I be able to pick them up in person as opposed to having them shipped? I just so happen to be in the area till monday morning and it would be ultra convenient to be able to have them asap.

i don't see why not. I will publish instructions for local pickups soon. you will send me a signed message with your code word, so that I know you are whose forum handle you claim to represent in person . please no vulgarity... |
