[Roadsters] question on shipping to Canada

[Kurt Weisner]

Craig,

     Customs rules are made by the Government. The Post Office is run by the
Government. Why would the Government do anything that made sense. Anything
exported by UPS is required to have Customs papers. Indivduals using the Post
Office just have to declare the contents. I have seen pkgs marked as gifts,
samples, items for repair and return, etc  that avoided customs fees, but I
think that just depends on the mood of the customs inspector.  If you want UPS
to call you and explain or need to set up a UPS account let me know.

> wondered if anyone from Canada could answer this one for me- I'm shipping a
set of core seats with runners to Canada...USPS I have to ship in 2 packages
as boxed together they run 69 lbs and I can only get USPS prices up to 66 lbs
which I figure must be 30kg...will cost me about $150 just to ship the 2
packages. UPS will ship in one box for about $80 but the customer is adamant
they want shipped USPS, says they will have to pay $60 in customs fees if sent
UPS but evidently no customs fees if sent USPS...how can this be? doesn't make
any sense to me. please enlighten me...
