RE: Shipping from US to Canada
he probably had the customs value as the actual cost. he should have just labeled the contents as toy or better yet a gift and gave it a declared value of $1.00. i work for fedex and send stuff to canada all the time.. my buddy over there never has to pay anything extra to get it. just my 2 cents
a store probably wont do that..some will.. but ebay sellers will do that if you ask them.
