It was nice of them to mention the surcharge.

The best deal  for packages to be sent to Canada is USPS. The built-in
brokerage fees are  minimal and it comes right to the door. I don't know if
it would work similarly in the opposite direction.

At some point I'm going to have to find out as I am starting to see more
instruments shipped to me from further afield.
