Shipping from Canada to the U.S.

I am planning to buy an amplifier that would be shippped to me from Canada. The product is U.S. made. Would I have to pay any brokage or other fees on top of the regular shipping charges? Which company is realtively inexpensive and safe? I would really appreciate any help. Thanks! Jack

UPS is a pain. Lots of paperwork for the shipper. It is also the one most likely to cost you a duty. The cheapest is the Canadian postal service. (Royal Mail ??)

UPS in Canada will not insure any used items and will not be accountable for any loss/damage/etc. FedEx does but is more expensive as it is delivered via air. I don't think there are any hidden costs with FedEx. I shipped an amp from Canada to the US without any problems using FedEx. Also with FedEx, you'll get the amp within 2 days.

I have shipped many item to the US.No extra charges apply unless you use UPS.They will gauge you to death.I find Canada post most cost effective and if customer is in a hurry and wants to pay for fast service Fed Ex is great.
