FedEx will nail you for those, Bob - and they aren't cheap! If you can find a member in or near Medford that can help with secure packaging, look at services like YouCrate or Craters and Freighters. I have used both (YouCrate could not deliver to my house in a rural part of the Eastern Townships) and they were not that bad. I handled the customs paperwork myself - you just have to go in person to a Canadian Customs office and make a declaration, pay your GST, and your all set. Be aware that flying to Philly and then renting a truck to get home again won't work. You won't get across the Canadian border with a truck rented in the US! Email me if you would like further info - I have to run and I am not going to be in email contact till tomorrow. |

Yes I do agree about the brokerage costs....can be a deal breaker! If I can, I want to fly to Philly and take apart the dishwasher - ship it....so long as the size and weight do not exceed FED EX limits.... Does YouCrate, CRaters and Freighters ship to Canada? Bob |
