I usually have motorcycle parts shipped to the "Letter Carrier" at Point Roberts (you can find the address and phone number on the web).

Basically I have the parts shipped there. The letter carrier charges a couple of dollars to hold the package. You drive down, pick it up, and then pay only GST+PST at the border. Oh yeah, they call you when the package arrives.

Granted, I haven't done this since 9-11 but the Point Roberts border should be no longer than 2-3 minutes to get across.

This way, I save on all the brokerage fees AND many web sites offer free ground shipping to anywhere in the continental US.

That's all,

Here is the address for the Letter Carrier at Point Roberts:

Basilcally you cross the border and its 2-3 blocks on the right.
You can call or email them for their holding rates.

As far as duty goes, I have not paid duty on anything I have ever bought: Germa Car Parts, Vanson Leathers, etc, M4 muffler, etc.

Mmmmm...

Every time I cross the border the camera takes a picture of your license plate. I assume they put it in a database with the time and date and that it pops up when you come back across the border.

Even on my M/C they come out and take my plate number if the camera can't see it.

But hey, maybe I'm paranoid..
