Great deals! I have contacted Poison Spyder regarding shipping costs and will let you all know what they come back with, hopefully it is reasonable!

Just got a shipping quote of $75.94 shipped via UPS, and there should be no Duties as all Currie products are manufactured in the U.S.A and would be part of the NAFTA.

Poison spyder bought the inventory on close out. I assume from some company that had the inventory and couldn't sell it or went under. So it's not actually a currie sale

You still get hit with UPS fees regardless of manufacture location. I have seen up to 70% of item cost.

Yup. Shipping via UPS is legally sanctioned rape.

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

Brokerage. Given that UPS is their own brokerage firm, it's pretty much pure profit for them.

If you want to avoid getting hosed, you have two options:

#1. Ship via USPS.

#2. Ship to Montana Shipping Outlet in Sweetgrass, drive down, pick it up, and pay GST at the border.

#1 Shipping via USPS is not an option as Poison Spyder claims the goods are to heavy.
#2 I've considered this option in the past and it never seems worth it, unless of course you are heading down that way...
Hmm, maybe I should take my chances...

You don't have to pay brokerage fees if you clear it yourself

You're going to do whatever you want to do, no matter what is said by those of us that have learned the hard way. Why bother asking?

Once you've read through the link that Vinman provided you'll also want this one;

http://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/dm-md/d17/d17-4-0-eng.pdf

Specifically Section 56 when you are heading to UPS/FEDEX and the Clearing office

I'm going to give this a try and see how it works out!
