UPS is the absolute worst for shipping. If I order something from the States, I wont buy unless they ship ISPS.
Even USPS is ridiculous at times...especially their "priority post" in their own box....stupid prices.
I'll order from over seas before the US unfortunately......quicker and cheaper! Especially new parts

Alledged saving by misrepresentation to the buyer $210.00
Mind you using $3k as the sale figure will also save him $400.00 - $500.00 in his State sales tax which of course is no concern of mine
So if someone wants me to put my name on the line with either Canadian Customs or U S Customs for any amount of savings best to find another dealer
I have been to the "Dance" a couple of times before and believe me, it ain't funny As Billy Bob said they have a meridid number of ways to find the correct value,so play it straight and get home safely

Dealing with customs leaves questions for me. I pretty much know what's expected coming in. It is shipping to other countries and how best to handle the questions of value, is it a gift and insurance.
I have had some of the UK guys unhappy with me over values and insurance. How do you insure something for $500. then claim $10 for customs? Sometimes claiming over 25 years old helps. I have been able to post to one side of boarder and have it walked across and repost from there. Truck is not cheap and unloading can be a problem without a fork lift. Just wondering what thoughts you have. Steve (CTR)
