Oh . Well , thanks for pointing it out . I knew something was wrong when I saw no other comments about this . Must have been busy when that news broke . Thanks <| sep |> I always check which courier the company ships with before placing my order ! If they ship with Fed Ex or UPS , I would just forget about it or use a shipping forwarding company . Personally , I order stuff from the US A LOT and I ' ve never been dinged so far when the shipper ships with USPS . USPS is very random when it comes to customs . I am grateful that I haven ' t had to pay any so far . My friends all have been hit when shipping with USPS , but it wasn ' t much two of them were only asked to pay taxes and not duties . I ' ve had $ 300 parcels come into Canada and I still never got hit , while my friend was hit on a parcel just over $ 20 . Getting hit with customs isn ' t as bad with USPS as it is with Fed Ex or UPS because of their brokerage fees ! I heard you can get around paying that if you clear the parcel yourself . I don ' t know too much about that though
