dear shiper
thanks loren .. that is exactly what happens
ups will double dip as both shipper and customs broker ...
mail can also be a hassle ...
i would suggest that if both are in towns serviced by bus that one ship via
bus and mark claerly on the package that contents are obsolete used Vanagon
parts
or hang on to parts until buyer rolls through town ...
the problem with shipping cross border is that any perceived savings on
price point will be lost in customs excise charges ...
unless the part is difficult to find ... it may not be worth it ...
yours
