Hi,
I’ve ordered a new Marinoni Piuma from the builder in Montreal after visiting the factory. It was a great experience and I enjoyed my time both in the city and with the staff at Marinoni! However, I now have to get it shipped home to where I live in upstate New York. I can avoid paying the provincial and federal taxes by having it shipped instead of purchasing it and bringing it across the border myself. However, I still have to deal with duties at customs. The border crossing told me I need a broker, which is a pain to find somebody interested in this transaction, and I have to pay for it. I’m thinking about just having UPS (which Marinoni typically uses) ship it and be prepared for whatever happens upon delivery. Anybody have any experience in cross border shipping?
Thanks!
