Make sure whatever you buy is shipped via USPS. It will be delivered by Canada Post and the “hit” will be minimal or nonexistent. I bought a bow back in August (maybe September?) and paid only $27 in GST and $10 handling fee. I don’t remember them charging me anything on items worth less than $200 or so. The next one is DHL. They would only charge you $10 in handling fees as well, but they will do it on any item priced at $20 or more, so be prepared to pay $0.50 in taxes and $10 in fees. USPS is the way to go. UPS and Fedex are nuts, I refuse to deal with anyone offering their services as the only options.
