Another method that works if you live within 90 miles of the border is use a parcel service. For ex I live in Wpg and the border is 90 miles away. I use a parcel service in N Dakota where I have my parts sent. The owner charges by weight, the 5 35 bfg km2,s cost me $25. Some flares ans spacers I got yesterday the charge was $4. Some times you can even get free shipping in the lower 48 states. Then when you cross the border have a copy of the bill and you only pay the GST and PST. Other than that if you can't cross the border or it,s to far I know UPS are crooks with their brokerage charges. What you do for that is tell them to hold the package and that you will do the brokerage yourself. What that means is when they get your shipment you go down to their depot and pick up the paperwork and then go to the Gov"t office and simply pay the taxes yourself. That way you save the UPS fee. Here in Wpg the gov't office is like 3 blocks from the UPS depot so it,s easy.
