I got my build kit delivered duty-free from UPS, but I had to pay $90 (wayyyyy too much IMO) for my Aerohead rims (not even assembled wheels, just the f*(&ing rims) which I figure is because the rims were made in not-USA, but the kit components were, or grouped as USA-born perhaps?

Cesar from bicyclewheels.com shipped my wheelset up here via USPS, and I just had a Canada Post $15 charge on those - which seemed like a 'fair' fee for customs/tax. I would think it's upto the shipper what method they use, and unless there's some business reason why he can't do it, I'm sure Tony can use other means to send stuff out.
