I get stuff shipped to Canada all the time, I got a rim the other day and the post was under $30.. most packages are under 10, declared as a low value gift there is never much of a problem and I send to the US all the time with little hassle, things do get more pricey when you get into the handlebar and rim size range but still not that big a deal as long as you are using the postal service.
Anyway, UPS doesn't seem to be able to give a straight answer, I got two different stories today, the latest is that everything past san pablo is the scans on the paperwork!?!?!!!!??? And that the last physical scan of the package was getting on a truck on the 20th which hasn't made it to Canada yet? Whaa? Will corky make it? Scheduled date of arrival is passing as I type this.
