fedex, via a broker.

21% in duty/taxes, plus a nominal brokerage fee (30 bucks?).

i get private party stuff lickety-split this way.

this is rob's (white) problem....his "broker" is canada customs by default...they'll get to it when they get to it.

i use delmar or PBB.

call 'em and give them the package info.

waybill, description of contents, sender/receiver info, etc...tell them you want them to process the package ASAP...at that time, ask them what they charge as a brokerage fee.

PBB = peace bridge brokers (in case you're searching for them).
