shipping...

I've shipped a few items, not large but expensive, to Canada. Was not really a headache on my (shipper) end but the info I got from the receiver in Canada put it way up on the PITA scale. If youship with UPS it seems that now they want to collect the import duty from the shipper. FEDEX, as far as I know, doesn't do this.

For those transactions that take place across the international border, why not come up with a relay system of FABO users. Ship to the closest point to the border and then one of the users from across the border could go across, pick up the item, return, and then re-ship it on their side. I know there are some details to be worked out here but I think it could work. From what I've heard it seems easier to carry stuff across than to ship it...
