Personally I have them drop ship to the UPS depot in Niagara Falls NY and go pick it up myself; many companies in the US ship free within the US so the money you save in shipping will cover your gas to go pick it up, you pay no brokerage fee and you've got a 30% chance you get a decent border guard that will let you slide on the tax/duty.
Never, ever, ever, ever ship UPS. If you are buying out of the USA, ship via USPS.

Just did it last week when I bought a brand new Gibson SG.

Yup ... or what other people do is get someone who's going down there anyway, to pick it up for them.
No offense Leo but with everything that's been written on this board about the real cost of importing stuff from the US ... frankly I'm surprised that you're surprised.
