If you are buying on E Bay and live in Canada BEWARE of the following.
Some E Bay sellers too Lazy to go to the post office and mail something. They use "Flat rate shipping and or Priority shipping. You'll see them on the site. A single train car that may cost you $3 or $4 to buy then they want $25 or more to ship it.
Federal Express (Fed Ex) and United Parcel Service (UPS) will both bring your item in through Montreal. You may get a "shipping fee" from the seller for $10 or so BUT beware. When Fed Ex or UPS brings it through the customs they will send you a bill for $40 or more dollars extra because the "Brokered" you parcel. This means they've collected the sales tax. The straight postal service also collects sales tax but only charge $5 for the service.
I bought an Item for $25 and the seller shipped it to me via UPS and they wanted $50 before they would deliver it and they have your parcel. You pay it or good-bye parcel. I fought it out and got it for what the post office would have charged but you won't do this to often avoid these horrendous extra charges avoid these three methods of shipping at all costs.
