Over 10 years with UPS.....
...and very satisfied.
The UPS store in Ogdensburg has enlarged 3 times..... dollars parity was a big boom for those places.
We only used Derringer because it was cheaper to ship 22 tires on a skid.... at the time.... and this may still be a limitation....UPS does or did not handle skids ..... will have to ask fo uture refences. Derringer is only a block away.... we paid $100 to handle the skid but had to unload the skid and reload manually on our car trailer..... the dock they have is at tractor trailer level ONLY.
I have recovered my UPS rental box many fold when a $10 time is shipped from California to UPS NY for 6.85 and $30= dollars to get it ot my home. Multiply that by the hundreds of item, including medication for the cats.....
Custom.... if you look them straight in the eye and say that it is for personal use..... not for resale...all you pay is HST..... watch some times a military web belt gets taxed as a woven textile..... but hell even if you pay nce in a while it is still cheaper. DOn't forget that a number of US sellers will not ship to Canada..... some will not sell to you if they know you are Canadian some are very fussy....if a surplus military part for a 1952 Dodge M37 might still have application to a modern still in service truck they will refused. I did business for years with A B Linn in North Carolina.... he will no longer sell to me as a known Canadian..... maybe his daughter got pregnant from a Canadian tourist.
UPS allows you to check by comnputer if your parcel is in no cost....
At about $16 per month the first one or two item and you have recovered your rental fee.
