I must admit to knowing more about shipping bike parts than guitar stuff, but when ordering from the States insist that they send it by mail(USPS). if you use any of the couriers, they will likely charge you a brokerage fee for shepherding things through customs. Perhaps I have just been lucky thusfar, but Canada Customs has not yet knicked me for a single cent when recieving stuff through the mail.

That's probably because it was an individual and not a business that shipped your package.

No, almost all the stuff has been from businesses.
