I guess this question is out there for you canadiens. Can you do COD to the US? If not, can you cash a US Check in Canada? and lastly, are there custom fees/duties when crossing the border? if so, how much are they.
thanks

My husband purchases A LOT (no, I'm not bitter ) of car parts from the States and always has them shipped UPS. The duties and brokerage fees are due on delivery and are calculated on the cost of the item.
I would recommend using an international courier, i.e. UPS, FedEx, as they can take care of all the necessary paperwork and collect the $$ for duties and whatnot.
We never purchase anything COD, but I don't see why an item couldn't be shipped from Canada to the US that way.
can you cash a US Check in Canada
Send me a cheque in US funds and we'll see. (锕侊箒)~~~~----------------------------------------------------------------------
Last I knew, the post office wouldn't do COD to foreign countries.
Yes, there is duty, but only after about $200 (coming in to the US). This is why duty-free shops are always so busy with returning Americans. Cutoms Canada isn't nearly as lenient, though.
Sounds to me like you have an e-bay deal. If so, use a credit card-they give you better exchange rates than banks do, and you have at least some recourse if you get screwed.
