Has anyone had any experience with shipping anything as big as a roof spoiler from the US? If you've used US Postal Service, what kind of duty/customs fees did you get hit with, if any?

USPS broker fees are minimal. You'll pay 7% for GST, and maybe another $5 or $10 for brokerage fees.Chris -

USPS also has size limitations for packages going to Canada. This is because USPS does not have international ground service so they cap package sizes and weight for air transport. I believe the limit is about 4' (but I could be wrong). I once tried having a strut-tower bar shipped via USPS and they wouldn't take it, so it had to go via UPS and I got raped on duty
Last week, there was also a guy infront of me in the post office line trying to send a collapsed fishing rod to Toronto, and they wouldn't take that either. Your best bet is to find out the exact dimensions and then give USPS a call to see if it's OK. As far as the duty/customs fees, USPS is def the way to go if you can

I've found that it works out to be about 15-20% (all fees including GST)Comment
