You’ll probably have Customs fees and duty. I’ve had items shipped via EMS, it’s dependent on the declared value of the goods. ---

Depends what the value of it is. I got a turbo which was about 250 and charges were 30 bucks at the post office. Also a digital climate control for 50 bucks and charges were about 10. I also bought something worth 80 dollars from the states and fees were 20 fucking dollars. UPS is utter bullshit, avoid them at all costs. ---

I had a $150 car part shipped up from the US and when I got it I had to pay an aditional $50 !!! You get taxed more on car parts I heard. If you have them label the package as a gift you will greatly reduce your border fees! ---

I had my powerfc shipped from Japan and it cost me like $25. I also had a couple of other boxes shipped from there and they were here in days and cost me under $30. I actually prefer to buy stuff from Japan instead of getting raped by the Americans. ---
