RE: Canada post shipping
I made the mistake to break my friends nitro truck on his setting it up. Because it was so new I couldn't get parts locally yet in Canada so I ordered thru the states. They sent UPS which was the first time I had ever dealt with them. Now get this, 20 bucks worth of parts ended up costing me over 120 bucks by the time UPS was done. Didn't even have the decency to be the least bit gentle!
One other mistake (this time a couple computer cases) and I will never EVER be caught again. If theres even a chance of it coming UPS I won't make the deal.
Now USPS is fine other then Canada Post nails you with a 5 bucks a package fee, plus any taxes owing. But very rarely do I have to pay it. Most times they just deliver the package and say have a nice day. Just wish they could be a bit faster... I just traded a rc truck for a truck and even tho I shipped a week after he did I am still waiting 2 weeks after it was delivered to him. Why the hold up? the darn border! But there not much that cane be done about that. Some days its quick and others its brutal...
