It may have to do with whatever the crossborder exemption limit is as to whether they charge GST, although technically there isn't one on mail order. Seems to be a lot of small shipments they don't bother looking at. I've had stuff just put into my mailbox no charge, if you get a del notice, you will be paying gst and the brokerage fee from Canada post when you pick it up.Had stuff that was marked Made in China come thru, 8 boxes, only got dinged duty on one box out of 8, for the value of the one box, 15.00 or so on 2400.00 US. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.
