Hoping to be one foot ahead of the action this yr and would like to know the opinions of THOSE WHO LIVE THERE as to the most efficient means of shipping from here to there?
My packages are only in the 2# area I s'pose?
I have checked UPS to Alaska and that is just so funny it hurts!
I see USPS continually advertising their "flat rate" packages. They never say or show AK on their map that I can think of. Doo to the nature of USPS I would like to think that AK is the same as shipping to Iowa? Or is it more?
What kind of time frame is it to ship it Flat Rate? Is this an issue that it would take too long for folks to wait for? (More repair part related than assessory)
Canucks!
I used UPS last yr. Their rate didn't seem too out of line and the delivery time seemed to be about a 1 day lag to git over the 49th, but that was it. But then it was brought to my attention that the reciever of the package was having to pay dutys - and to a VERY sizeable summ no less! What's more - AFAIK - they didn't even know the value of the contents to figure from?
I still don't git this "duty" thing. No taxes via NAFTA, but we will duty you to death?
Last I knew - going through the mails system was a month long process sometimes? I see more and more folks on E-bay refusing to sell to Canucks - assuming that this is a shipping issue giving THEM a black eye?
Value of the contents are prox $200.
You're duty free you're tax exempt
You party with the president
